People are different and difficult. There are times when we are left wondering if someone is being nice because they mean it or if they have ulterior motives and the niceness is fake.
Here are a few ways you can spot the differences between fake or genuine people.
1. Action versus Words
People who are genuine always mean what they say and that can be seen in their actions. When they make a promise, they make sure they stay true to their word and always deliver, no matter what. Fake people, on the other hand, are all talk and no task. They use their words to manipulate people but never act on them.
2. Hard to impress versus Easy to impress
Genuine people are harsh judges and are a tad bit hard to impress. They have rock-solid opinions and beliefs and make these things known. They are not afraid to be who they are. Fake people are easy to impress. They will exaggerate about how great something is because they want advantages out of every situation. They will lie so that they are in everyone’s good books.
3. Humility versus Boasting
Fake people will always go on and on about whatever they do or achieve, no matter how small the thing might be just because they want attention. Genuine people do not feel the need to talk about anything they do, even if it’s something big because they are very secure individuals who don’t attend.
4. Look out versus Look down
Fake people love bringing other people down and only value people who can help them in some way, as I said; there is always an ulterior motive. Otherwise, they treat everyone like they are beneath them. Whereas, genuine people do not treat anyone like they are better than them because they have respect for everyone, as they know that at the end of the day, we are all humans.
5. To the face versus Behind your back
One of the most admirable qualities about genuine people is that they are the same on your face and behind your back. If they do not like you, they will be the one to tell you and not anyone else. Fake people may act like your best friend on your face but will be saying terrible things behind your back without flinching even once.
6. Unconditional help versus ulterior motives
Fake people will only help you if you can give them something in return. They will never go out of the way to do a friend a favour if they know that they will not get anything in return in any way but this is completely the opposite of genuine people because if a near and dear one asks for their help, they will do everything in their power without expecting anything in return.
