The gist of things

There are two kinds of people out there, the fake cynic and the fake optimist. Oxymorons at its best.

The fake cynic acts like they know everything and treat others as inferiors. People dislike them because they happen to put everything in perspective-- so called reality. However, the truth is that they're romantics, they secretly hope that all the negative bullshit they sprout is nonsense. They hope that things will turn out for the better. Though their words and actions betray them, they are the ones who expect the most out of people because they unknowingly believe in humanity.

Now people think they should be wary of cynics because all they do is put people and things down, but, in reality, they are the ones you ultimately want to be friends with. They won't tell you what you want to hear, but as it is. In their twisted way, they're trying to save your ass, just not in the peppy "You can do it!" way.

The fake optimist are mini Lucifers. They're not necessarily manipulators but they trick people into false security. They have a soft and bubbly nature that lures people into telling them their dreams and hopes. They pretend everything will be okay and naively encourage without touching upon consequences and discussing actual problems. They tell you what you want to hear and tell you what they feel like they should, depending on the situation, but they have no sense of "reality". They believe that they're alone in this world and by faking themselves they cruise through life.

Now I understand that I put it in such a way that divides them into black and white, but it's never like that. I'm a mix of both. I'm just as pungently fake as mentioned, but is anything real?
