Are you a skeptical person?

Why? Why not?

I am or I'm not. Not at the same time, but it fluctuates, and for no good reason at all.

What about you?

 

i'm skeptical when it comes to inconsistent people....

otherwise no, im a pretty firm believer in what i believe in

 

i'm skeptical to a fault.

 

awyea... im very skeptical... mainly because of how i view things

 

Why?

Elaborate?

 

i don't know really. i've been that way to some extent for as long as i can remember, but for the last few years in particular i just find it impossible to completely believe anything unless i am staring at the proof right at that moment.

 

Of some things, sure. I am skeptical mainly as a cautionary measure. I rarely doubt people's word, though (unless they're trying to sell me something.)

 

the real universe makes questioning everything a moral responsibility. if you don't it will bit you on the ass. that's just life. and we have no one to blame but ourselves if we fail to do so.

that doesn't mean we have to look at everything as being the worst in can possibly be either, nor have to go around expecting it to be. just to recognize that the worst and the best are always both real possibilities, both equally likely, and equally less likely then tepid oatmeal somewhere inbetween.

 

At the moment, yes.

The term is misused. Skeptical does not = cynical.

 

sometimes, on vary rare occasions.

 

liar.

 

But cynical often = humorous :toetap05:

The word has largely been taken over by the scientific/medical community.

I like to think I am skeptical, but skeptical of skepticism.

 

Sometimes it's the deadbeat that can't see a turn, funny joke, or irony in life

 

skeptical = withholding judgement. Neither pessimistic nor optimistic. That's the erudite definition *bows* :coolgleamA:

 

I was thinking the same thing.

I am a pretty skeptical person on a lot of topics.
I am the agnostic in a family full of pagan "psychics" ,Catholics, southern baptists and atheists.I doubt and question a lot of shit...
but I also believe in a few things here and there, sometimes in people that I maybe shouldn't.:cheers2:

..though I am pretty cynical ,too

 

Skepticism is still the language of the mind so we must ask ourselves "what does our heart or gut tell us"

i would be such a liar if i say i lied



but in a matter of fact i always take most of the tings with no second thoughts on my mind, i just accept them and maybe after sometime some tiny mini mini sceptical issues come into my wooden head. but this is just becuase my infallible sense of danger alarms me


and maybe, just maybe i am not really getting the meaning of this
