I move through the world with two basic philosophies: a dim view of human nature and a belief that the universe loves me and wants me to be happy.

Yes, that. I would say that specific failing is the bulk of my "people mostly suck" mindset.

I fortify myself as though all people are shitheads but approach them as though they are not shitheads. That way, I am minimally disappointed if they do suck or pleasantly and mildly surprised if they do not suck, and I usually manage to avoid pissing them off because I successfully hid my expectation that they would suck.
