I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

[quasi-normalcy]

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

Gonna be honest a lot of people deep down view cheating as worse than abuse which is why so many people view downright controlling and manipulative behavior in a relationship as 100% permissible so long as that behavior is centered around either preventing or discovering cheating.

[cannibal-flowerbomb]

It's especially fucked up in my mind because the alternative to being abusive and controlling over your partner is... Being communicative and confronting your own insecurities. And being comfortable without codependency.

But so many people would rather literally abuse the one they're supposed to love instead of self reflecting on their own flaws or be even mildly uncomfortable at any time.

That's genuinely what it comes down to for me. You have to be willing to talk about these things with a partner (or partners let's be inclusive) or you won't be able to find a healthy balance in your relationship. And if you can't tell your partner shit?? Just fucking break up. You're not ready to be in one and that's not your partner's problem to deal with.

People really would rather be abusive and codependent than accept that they might need to do a bit of personal reflection and growth before they start dating.
