I’ve had this issue too. I feel a lot of frustration sometimes that the world is set up set inadequately. I actually became quite cynical. One thing that helped me was when I realised that I needed to both accept the truth of many of my cynical obervations, but also move forward. I called this being “Post-Cynical” and I shifted my identity to this. By tying this way of thinking to a particular word, I’ve found it much easier to bring my thoughts back into alignment and it doesn’t worry me as much any more. (Part of the issue may have been that I couldn’t deny the truth of cynical observations, but I also didn’t want to be cynical because people tend not to like it when someone is being a downer. Adopting this keyword helped me figure out how to navigate this, especially since it ties into identity which is an incredibly powerful force).
