meaning I shouldn’t have a reason to not be a cynical misanthrope?
It means they’re a person who believes that only selfishness motivates human actions and also hates everyone.
Likely, you can’t be a cynic without being somewhat of a misanthropist.
It’s not healthy
Because they have been through a lot of hard times this has made them negative. They might have been betrayed or used or abused or any number of things, but they have lost hope in society as a whole. They probably feel alone. There’s a multitude of reasons, none of them very positive. It’s hard to help with such little information, but i would be delighted for you to share more and to help you in any way possible
I want to believe i can be loved.
No one said negative cynical misanthrope. You don’t have to be negative to see society as spiteful, and dislike that concept.
Being a cynical misanthrope I feel that this is impossible.
Truthfully, I want to believe in love but there is so much evidence to the contrary

How? It means you see all people as selfish b*stards, and you hate them for it.
You can be loved, most everyone is capable of giving and receiving love. And love exists in all places. Love is all around you if you really look, and it sounds like you’re trying and that’s a great first step.
if love is all around then why is there so much suffering, crime, war, etc.

People suck. But not all people suck.
If you look for love, you won’t find it.
Relax, judge people on a case by case basis, and give people a chance without letting them take advantage of you, and life will get a bit brighter.
i’m trying but it hasn’t got any brighter yet
There are days when I feel misanthropic. As much as I hate that feeling and would love nothing more but to deny it, well it just won’t seem to permanently disappear. But some of us feel justified in our beliefs. And being that the world is imperfect, it makes it almost impossible to behold any supply of grace.
Well, misanthropy and cynicism go hand in hand, so, saying you are a “cynical misanthrope” is rather redundant. But anyways, just because someone distrusts human nature, or even hates people, doesn’t mean that they are a negative person. Generally, these types of people find joy in more aesthetic things, such as art, music, etc etc. Also, a misanthrope/cynic can still hold optimistic views on life and love, they will just assume that people, according to their nature, will betray them.
Good label. It’s a sign that you are becoming aware of reality as it really is. . . ****** as hell!!!
