People get fed up with me for being too fatalistic and cynical, but I've only ever been proven right.?

You have chosen a very narrow viewpoint that will not make friends nor influence people. Unfortunately for you, you are missing out on the entire spectrum of what life has to offer. There is a good side as well as the bad side. The good attitude people choose to focus on the good because it feels good. The cynical people choose to focus on the negative because they are stuck in a rut, used to feeling sad and fearful that if they try to feel good someone will jerk that rug out from under them yet again. You sound smart and so I am sure if you want to try life on the other side of the street you will figure it out and do so. For those of you who are still scratching their heads you can start with books and counseling and it just takes practice. Just for today find one good thing and dwell on that and see how it multiplies.
