What causes cynical behavior and sarcastic comments

I suspect that child abuse cause a lot of cynical behavior. Why I'm so sarcastic I'm not sure but it's also probably related to having no patience with idiots, fools and stupid people. Jeff Foxworthy's 'Wheres your sign' jokes are sarcasm at it's best and funny too. At least IMO

Dealing with cynical people like me can be tough because I believe peoples actions, not their words. That was beaten into me when I was a little kid. After your mother has beaten you to a pulp and then comes to tell you how much she loves you, you tend not to believe it and when it happens over and over again you believe it even less.

Cynical people seem to have a lack of trust in anything anyone says and want to see proof. They've been lied to so many times that they believe in little but themselves. Yes, I'm cynical and quite sarcastic at times.

It seems to me that few people have any integrity or reliability. Most people tell you what they think you want to hear with no actual intention of carrying out what they told you. Lol, if you think that's cynical you might be right. It drives me absolutely crazy when someone tells me they will call me at 9 and then don't do it. Particularly when it's my GF.

It's gotten so bad that I only allow people in my private reality who are honest, trustworthy, reliable, loyal and who do what they say they will do. Anything else isn't worthy of my time, no matter who they are or what I think of them.

You see, calling when you say is part of being reliable, doing what you said is part of being reliable, being honest with me is part of being reliable, not playing games is part of being reliable. If I can't rely on people for a small thing how can I ever rely on them for bigger things. You trust people with small things first and then the things you trust them with get bigger and if they don't screw that up they get bigger still but they all start at the very bottom with very small things.

Lol, I have a history of sarcastic comments and that comes when people aren't reliable or don't do what they say often enough. My favorite is 'Whatever' and I can say it with a ton of different inflections. 'Yeah, right' is another I use frequently when dealing with unreliable people.

Most people don't get my sense of humor because it tends to be sarcastic jokes and remarks and quite cynical at times. I even keep a list of cynical love quotes on my PC just because I like them and now and then I use one of them. Mean rude sarcastic quotes are another thing I collect. It's an old girlfriends birthday in April and if I can find some sarcastic free ecards I'm going to send her the best one, or the worst one depending on your point of view.

There are nice guys cynical bitter and impatient and most days I'm one of them. However other people don' see me as nice when I call them on their lack of integrity or reliability in a cynical or sarcastic manner.

Some people told me years ago I should start my own forum for cynical people so I did. It's just my take on cu rent events, stupidity and other things that bug me. It's about Cynical people capable of thinking for themselves and having intelligent opinions and I even go off on a rant now and then. Wow, imagine that.

So did being an abused child cause me to become so cynical or was it something else. Personally I think it was the abuse. OTOH I also come from a long line of cynical and sarcastic people. However they were all abused too so I don't know.

Actions speak louder than words. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times before. I'm also pretty sure most people ignore actions and keep on believing words. I seldom believe words any more, just actions. If your words and your actions match up we can be friends, if the don't we can't.

Words and actions not matching tends to make me more than a little sarcastic and cynical
