Are you the type of person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest? Do you have the attitude to distrust others’ motives? Then, you must be cynical; you have a general lack of faith or hope in people motivated by ambition, desire, greed, gratification, materialism and goals. For this week’s episode we will talk about cynicism, why is it bad for us and what can we do to stop being cynical.
Cynics certainly work hard to avoid harm. But unfortunately, they can end up harming themselves. In their effort to avoid getting burned they mistrust even those who want to be friendly and supportive toward them, they exhaust themselves by constantly trying to stay on guard. They pass on valuable opportunities for cooperation because they seem too risky. At the same time, they can spend too much time and money trying to protect themselves by monitoring and controlling other people.
A cynical attitude hurts you in ways you’d probably never expect. On the whole, it affects your health, career, earnings, and relationships. Here are some of the ways that being cynical can be detrimental to your well-being.
