A discussion type poll I think.

I'm going to have to say being cynical is worse than jaded because cynics thrive on the belief that you can't trust anything or anyone, with no solid reasoning. Thus leading to the belief structure that everything must be questioned and nothing is as simple or easy as it seems.

People become jaded through repetitive experience. At least if you're jaded it implies you've lived a little and you already know what's coming. "I told you so." is their favorite phrase, so to speak.

And on a side note, someone can both be cynical and jaded at the same time.

I'm going with cynical.  People like that are generally very close-minded and don't listen to what anyone has to say.  Cynical people will immediately deem something a horrible thing, and don't even consider the potential good that there might be.

It'd be like someone immediately calling Star Fox a dangerously violent game.

Honestly, it isn't violent!

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of cynicism so I voted for that. However I can be cynical at times.

If you deny both viewpoints, then that means you're Dwight!  :falco:

And that means you're awesome.  ;)

Anyway, denying both viewpoints must mean that both are equally negative to any personality.  Am I right?

Closer to equally positive. I believe people have some interest in themselves, but do focus on others. What is love, after all? And I'm certainly never bored.
