They wear different masks depending on the situation and context. They change their attitudes, opinions, and stories whenever they know it will benefit them. They'll do and say just about anything to look good in front of others.
And they can't be trusted. The moment you tell them something in confidence, they turn around and spill the beans.
They'll step on your toes just to get ahead. They'll pretend to be your friends, then throw you under the bus when you're not around. They're backstabbing opportunists.
They'll post a barrage of Facebook updates in which they gloat about their vacations, meals, cars, and jewelry. They pretend to have the perfect life in an attempt to make others jealous.
Little do these fake people know that there are some highly perceptive individuals out there who can see right through their little charade.
Rather than finding them hip, confident, or fun to be around, they deem them to be shallow, insecure, and downright annoying.
What fake folks have to get through their skulls is that people appreciate authenticity. They like those who are genuine, forthright, and comfortable in their own skin. They actually respect individuals who stick to their guns and never compromise their values.
I like being in the company of those who don't try so hard to be liked. I admire people who don't need anyone's validation to feel happy with themselves and life in general.
The bottom line is this: If fake people are so quick to change their personalities to gain others' favor, it speaks volumes about their character and reveals how they feel about themselves deep down. Chances are they really don't love themselves and have low self-esteem, which they try to compensate for by getting Facebook likes and pats on the shoulder.
If you can kick such fake people to the curb, do it at once! Life is too short to spend it surrounded by those who are as deep as a puddle.
