Naïve cynicism

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain naïve cynicism to you.

Have you ever heard someone say things like “I don’t trust people” or “everyone is just out for themselves”? Well, those are examples of naïve cynicism.

Naïve cynicism happens when people start to believe that everyone and everything is bad or dishonest. They think that because people can be selfish or do bad things sometimes, that means everyone must be like that all the time.

But the truth is, not everyone is bad or dishonest. And if we start to believe that everyone is like that, it can make us feel sad or angry all the time. Plus, it can stop us from trusting people or trying new things, which can make life less fun and exciting.

So, while it’s good to be cautious and careful sometimes, it’s important to remember that most people are actually pretty nice and honest. And it’s better to have a positive outlook on life instead of always assuming the worst in people.
