[@md1trk]

Cynicism is a psychological protector. It's role within the system is to protect you against experiencing anything bad. It is a pre-emptive strike against a perceived threat. If I tell myself that 'all women are bad', then I'm less likely to seek a relationship with women and, as a consequence, I'm never going to feel the pain of rejection. If I tell myself that 'everything is shit' or that 'things will never get better', then I am excused of ever having to try at anything. The upside of never trying is never having to feel the pain of failure.

"From within the system." What system? Genuine question.

[@XXXX-yc6wv]

When I was young and under-employed I was sent to a job seminar. The woman running the thing was a hard bitten cynic. She went around the room asking everyone what they wanted to do for a living. After she had all the responses she went on an angry tirade about how we were all just dreaming and that none of it was going to happen. I remember thinking "Well, it won't happen with that attitude." Years later, having pursued a long career in exactly what I told that grouch I wanted to do, it occurred to me that maybe she was trying to motivate us through some sort of "I'll show you" mentality. But in the end I think she really was just a mean, cynical grouch incapable of viewing things in terms of what's possible and she spread that like a plague.

[@aperson7584]

Yeah, f - - - her ... I've had similar experiences, and now at a point where I realise that the only people to bother asking for any advice are those who've already succeeded conspicuously in the field you're thinking of joining - i.e. already have nothing to prove, or feel threatened by in others' successes. There's almost a part of me that wants to go back to situations where cretins are still giving appalling advice to young people, and sit quietly until an opportune moment to stand up and explain volubly and articulately exactly why they're completely wrong, should quit their job, and that everyone else in the room should certainly not listen to the idiot standing in front of them ...

[@BlazinTigger]

man Michael just punched me in the oversized gut. I am 310Lbs right now right back to where I was a year and a half ago. I lost 60Lbs in 6 months with a low carb diet but I was still 250 Lbs and family was asking things like "so how much longer are you gonna not eat carbs" because my family shows love by making food and wouldn't know how to work around that and they wanted to go to restaurants and bake me a cake on my birthday and things like that so I kinda just stopped it. I'm gonna go back to low carb because even though I was still fat at 250 I felt so much better and if I stick to it I will be where I want to be. thank you Michael, and Chris.

[@rickysanchez7674]

Good luck bro

[@anewagora]

If your family was not supportive and trying to get you off your health goals, that does not sound like showing love, but wanting control. Some people don't realize this and it's unconscious in them, but Caretaker Syndrome is not a GOOD thing for the people on the receiving end of it. The problem many people are blind to, is how obligating others to do things is never giving them something, but demanding something from them.

[@patrycja2696]

Go back! Remember, whenever you make a change for better, you'll be a threat to your family and friends. Stand your ground! Your health is the most important thing, it's a base to everything! You don't have to be low carbs if you are not corbs addict. Maybe you'll be able to have a pakeo day ones per month or whatever. I myself am so this didn't work for me. After 3 years of keto I turned high fat carnivore and it's best decision. I reinvented myself as new me, carbs addiction free person. Good luck, best wishes! Stay hard!

[@Norfolkandchance886]

My family are the opposite, we fat shame. When I saw my mother at Christmas she made a comment about me putting on weight. Fat shaming is useful, I wouldn't say family's but friends yeah. If I call my friend a fat cu*t that comes from a place of love. I don't want him to not be able to play with his children. Women use fat shaming as a way to not have to make any kind of effort at all its pathetic. Everyone is a victim these days. Your not a victim you have given up and I will call you out on that. Back in the day people felt shame themselves. When I've gone from perfect abs a couple of months ago to now I feel fat and disgusting. I feel ashamed of that. I have no illness there is no reason for me to lose the discipline I used to have. I just heard Rogan talking about it "everyone wants to be comfortable, sitting around doing nothing" you need to take yourself out of your comfort zone. That's right no one likes sticking to a boring diet and exercising.

Balance... everything in life is about balance. Blind optimism is the root cause of three quarters of the worlds anger and rage. There's nothing as scary as seeing an optimist hitting that wall of reality. Because optimists are children and children have two settings... blind optimism and blind rage. It takes life experience to grow a balanced outlook and a reasoned judgment on your own abilities.

[@markcarey67]

Seneca viewed anger as a product of dashed expectations about the world. I find the things I usually get angry with most are systems and technology which are either poorly designed or fail for some reason that does not make sense at the time but I usually cut people a lot of slack before I get mad at them - they have to be behaving unbelievably stupidly - I think this is because I expect technology and designed systems to work where I do not expect people to work in anything like the same sense.

[@cynthiajohnson9412]

Oh my God, I remember in my late twenties when I got into jogging again and I didn't want to tell anyone because the first question they would ask me was, 'are you gonna run a marathon?' There was no just doing something for fun, to improve, to get outside, and to enjoy the sunshine, to get energized, to say hi to your neighbors. Martha Stewart did the same thing with entertaining. She set the bar so high that everything, even little kid's birthday parties, had to be huge, involved, creative-to-the-max events that people had to be all in on. And so people just stopped entertaining because it was too expensive, too time consuming, too pressurized, too much freakin work and no one wanted to have their guests come into their home with a Martha Stewart score card to rate their party on creativity and presentation and hours that went into planning and prep, etc, etc, etc. It's supposed to be fun. Life is supposed to be as fun as possible as well.

[@hughanderson7827]

I had a cynical friend who would let out this caustic bark of a laugh if she heard anyone say anything hopeful or optimistic about the future, or share a dream or passion, or be vulnerable. And then she would say something dismissive and nasty. Her favorite quote, from a Sturgill Simpson song, is "I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die."

[@Stolat79]

Your friend sounds like a super fun person. Toxic cynical nihilism. I had a few friends like this, had.

[@anewagora]

I've always thought hope and optimism were overrated. I used to be mistaken for those when I was actually the opposite; truly hopeless. I have no use for hope, because here and now is enough. This is particularly hard to make sense of when you are suffering deeply, but you could suffer and also embrace the reality of your life and path. Hope and cynicism (the way Michael defines it here) are both denial and resistance of reality. Sure I have suffered at times like many people do, but I don't deliberately cling to it when the time comes for letting go and inner peace, or some other mode of being / responding to life. I guess I've always been disinterested in hope because I see it for what it is: suffering. As Pema Chodron says: "Hope and fear come from feeling that we lack something; they come from a sense of poverty. We can’t simply relax with ourselves. We hold on to hope, and hope robs us of the present moment. We feel that someone else knows what’s going on, but that there’s something missing in us, and therefore something is lacking in our world. Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look. That’s the compassionate thing to do. That’s the brave thing to do." - Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart

I think people lose hope and rather than lambast them for it, when many have lots of good reasons for feeling this way, it would be better to try and give them hope or show them your more hopeful perspective while you show them empathy for theirs. I think it's a shame there's so much cynicism, especially if that motivates people to give up trying for better, but I also understand why there is such a feeling of hopelessness.

[@WhiteCavendish]

This is quite the strawman argument against cynicism. The argument of the cynic is not "It won't/can't/never will go right," the argument of the cynic is "People are probably going to disappoint you and things are probably going to get worse." It doesn't disprove the thesis because things sometimes go well and people sometimes surprise you with positive behavior." Also, he seems to conflate cynicism vs pessimism. They're not exactly the same thing. It's entirely possible for a person to view the world with cynicism, ie. most politicians are corrupt and can't be trusted, and things are probably going to get worse" while still believing they should try to make things better anyway, because trying to make things better is RIGHT. Cynicism and apathy don't necessarily go together.

[@trent9872]

I suppose there are degrees of cynicism, and I think being cynical about everything is terrible. But, I think it's reasonable to be cynical about certain things. Michael says that "as long as you have one counter-example, the thesis is disproven" (0:35). I don't agree with that at all, because you can be cynical about something if your odds are bad, or if the amount of work isn't worth the outcome. For example, I'm cynical about winning the lottery. There are real examples of people winning the lottery. But it's not worth the time or money to purchase lottery tickets. This tells me that the "as long as you have one example of a success.." logic is flawed.
