As you grow older, it's only normal to have an increasingly skeptical view of the world, the people and things around you. You learn to become less trusting because of the times you've been hurt by believing in someone. However, there are reasons why you should still see things in a positive light.

When you have a cynical attitude, you readily expect people to behave in a negative self-serving way. You immediately focus on the worst in people, which makes you feel uncomfortable around them for no proven reason. Also, you may be very critical of others. Treating others this way over a prolonged period will make you question yourself in the same critical way. You may end up being hard on yourself no matter what you do. So it's best for you to shed the negativity and live life more positively.

In this quiz, tell us how you would react to certain situations. Based on your answers, we will tell you just how cynical of a person you are.

    You’re not that cynical! You know when to have faith, based on the surrounding circumstances, and when not to. You believe people have a good side as much as they have a bad one.

    I’m not 100% cynical. However, my faith in some people is really limited. It gets to the point that I no longer want to help them because I know they won’t use my help honestly.

    You’re pretty cynical! Events in your life have led to you not being able to completely believe everything people say. It takes a long time for someone to gain your full confidence.

    You’re almost not cynical at all! You may actually be too trusting of people, in a naive sense. You tend not to think badly of people and you’d rather it stay that way.
