Do you ever have that friend or that person in your life that betrays you? Or even that person you only talk to if you send the first message; if not, you wouldn’t even speak? Well, that right there is fakeness. We often hope for people to act a certain way, which eventually leads to disappointment or even leads you to believe certain things in a manipulative way.
I remember a person in my life that spoke severely about a friend in common with me and then being overly kind to that friend in common to keep that friendship going even though it was too toxic. Hypocrisy and fakeness is not an action, but a poisonous trait that people are not born with, but that is obtained in the long-run based on experiences that someone has lived. And even if we wanted to remove that trait from people, it is somehow instilled in them and will be even harder to remove. Why? From my observation, people who are hypocrites act as such because they have been treated similarly. However, not everybody is like that, and if they have ever been treated in that way, instead of getting that trait, they get trust issues.
I have to admit; however, we all have that hypocrisy and fakeness that has submerged us from our beings towards other people because we want to get something, and if you deny it, you are not lying to others, but yourself. The difference between people who are like that frequently and have that instilled in them, and of those who act sometimes, is that the first ones mentioned are those who do it consciously and for a purpose that only for them has a beneficial outcome, while the others’ outcome is to have a win-win situation. Where do you fit in?
