This is cynicism. The original poster's complaints are not cynicism -- they are legitimate dissatisfaction and unhappiness with exploitation and manipulation. Legitimate
dissatisfaction turns to cynicism when its sufferer concludes that some human relations are exploitative, so they all must be. The cure for cynicism is to recognize that it is still possible to make connections that are not exploitative and manipulative, and to seek out and nourish those.
(I realize this comment might have been intended as a joke, but this sort of bitter humor is often a symptom of real cynicism.)
