i think that "cynicism" is a loaded term, and that creating a dogma against it can be a form of toxic positivity. pretending that something is good, when it obviously is not, is gaslighting plain and simple. gaslighting is a form of abuse that breeds actual, lasting cynicism, and it must be avoided at all costs. that said, non-constructive complaining can also create and spread caustic and degenerate mindsets. like everything, it's a balance. applying habit tracking to one's own complaining is a great idea though!
