Often those who are really bound in the sin of cynicism demonstrate all of these unpleasant traits. These traits are super easy to observe in others either through one’s critical comments or glum facial expressions. They see the glass always half full. They are the princes of pessimism. They crush any excitement in a room. They destroy morale in any team. They major on the negative. They are quick to see the worst. Whenever they want to meet, it’s always problem related. They squash good ideas and the potential from others. They are grumpy. They complain about everything. They are the party of “no.” They have a problem with everyone and everything. They are experts at discovering everybody’s flaws except their own. They stand as the self-appointed judges of the world and measure others by their own standards of righteousness. And they often look as friendly as a rattlesnake.
