Someone who believes themselves to be incredibly intelligent and enlightened, when, in fact, they're just like anyone else. Usually lacks confidence in humans as a species to seem more edgy or intelligent.
Generally believe that no one has any passion for anything, or is willing to do something out of the kindness of their heart.
Not to be confused with a skeptic. Cynics usually just bitch and moan about a problem, as opposed to trying to find a solution.
Cynic: How can you enjoy life, man. Or that food? It's just some corporation trying to profit off your enjoyment.

A person that's abandoned his rose-colored glasses in favor of shit-colored ones. Are often just as delusional as idealists, but are usually considered enlightened and smart due to the new age nihilistic mentality of "bitterness = smartness", which makes it then fall into the viscious cycle of the "popular = right" mentality.
Not to be confused with a realist, who tries their hardest to look for the truth in any given situation regardless of bias, and whose views only resemble a cynic's in the eyes of an idealist.
Idealist: I think all people are good at heart and should always be given a second, third, fourth, and 167th chance, so I'm just going to leave my wallet out in the open to be stolen by everyone!
Cynic: LOL, everyone sucks, don't you know that? Regardless of ideals, you're only ever fighting for yourself, and there's no escape from that mentality, meaning everyone is always cheating everyone!
Functional Human Being: Guys...maybe people do shitty things for legitimate reasons, and they are to be neither trusted nor hated...?
Cynic: Ridiculous, the world doesn't operate off logic, it operates off of how depressed I'm feeling at any given time!
Idealist: Yeah, that would make too much sense, idiot. Emotions dictate facts, everyone knows this. Get with the times.

The kind of person who tells you to relax, don't panic, the sky is falling but it's gonna be okay. These are the same people claiming to liberate other people. Does anybody really need liberation coming from somebody like that?
The girl wanted people to know she was on their side, she was freeing them from their prison, while locking other people up. She was a cynic to the core, which is why she always preached hypocrisy about positive thoughts.

A derogatory term for a realist.
I am not a cynic. I simply expect less of people because I know they will always find a way to disappoint me.

someone who always expects the worst and most selfish motives out of everyone and everything. Otherwise known as experienced.
1. These charity adverts are a great way to fleece you for all your money. Those dudes living in mud was probably 50 years ago. They have schools now. And a sewerage treatment place.
2. Disneyland is great but I'm not waiting 2 hours to see ''sleeping beauty''. She's either made of plastic or some lazy cow who's paid to sleep in all day. Besides, one floor is hardly impressive for a castle.
The above are cynical examples.

Not having any illusions about human nature.
I'm so cynical I don't trust furry little animals with big sad eyes.

The type of people posting their definitions of the word "relationship".
Only a cynic would post this definition of the word "relationship": A bond between two people; One person works to create/maintain love and fulfillment while the other person waits for something better to come along.
