Note that a cynic differs from a pessimist - while pessimists may not necessarily see anything bad in someone else, they tend to be either [[NervousWreck nervous wrecks]] or [[TheEeyore just sad and depressed]] [[TheWoobie because they've been put through a lot of pain and hardships]]. Cynics, on the other hand, are typically [[GrumpyBear abrasive and grouchy]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]] who find it hard to get pleasure out of things and put every single negative aspect of everything first, especially when it comes to other people and their motivations.

Being a cynic is actually worse than being a pessimist. It's all very well to worry about something going wrong, but to see nothing good in anything is just a mental poison.

An extreme version of The Cynic is The Pessimist/Misanthrope, who always expect the worst out of everyone and everything ([[FinaglesLaw Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, the world tends to maximum entropy]], HumansAreMorons and/or HumansAreBastards, and that morality is [[GreyAndGrayMorality grey and grey]], [[BlackAndGrayMorality grey and black]] or [[EvilVersusEvil black and black]]). If used badly, you can expect them being called out as {{wangst}}y.
