Can you define what fake people are? I have the feeling people in this thread apply it to different kinds of behaviour.
I know you didn't ask me, but here's what I say is fake. It is people that present an impression of themselves that you can't rely on as being a true rendition of how they are day to day. So one day they'll act cheerfully helpful in a situation, and the next day you won't see them do the same. In my circle, people are particularly guilty of lacking true good character and instead just play a part to make themselves stand out which gets them attention and popularity.
sometimes people are fake because they use it as a means of manipulating people sometimes people are fake because they're afraid. they're afraid to show that they are human, or to show vulnerability, because they don't want to be attacked while that kind of fakeness is bad, I find it more forgivable, because they have been pushed into it by a predatorial social culture some people are fake because they can't deal with the world or just aren't willing to. they retreat into a fantasy world and try to shut everything else out. that's kind of what the martha stewart yuppie thing is all about the more dysfunctional society becomes, the more people want to retreat from it into a fantasy world
I think polite and adult society requires people to be fake to a certain extent. Imagine how chaotic life would be if we all went around wearing our hearts on our sleeves, bitching at people when we feel like bitching, yelling and telling people we think they're stupid when people are being stupid, crying because we feel like crying in inappropriate situations. Almost everyone is fake to a certain extent and working behind filters that suit different situations. Honestly it kinda gets on my nerves when people are like "OMG she's sooooo fake!!!" because lets be honest, the person saying it is probably just as fake. Everyone is fake. I know I rein in my personality a lot depending on whatever situation I find myself in. And when i'm in a bad mood i still act cheerful because i think its rude to express my bad mood and bring down everyone around me. I would define being fake as a truly devious thing. Acting like you're in one mood when you're really in another is not being fake, its being human. Even in the case of pretendng to like something when you really don't in order to fit in, I see that as more spineless than fake. For one to be fake they have to intentionally lie about who they are in order to serve some kind of purpose - a manipulation tactic.
Fake people get resultz quickly that is why so many are fake. People that are true to themselvez get rewardz later and longer. But since we are human most people do not hold out; and join a crowd because itz easy and fast. The way the world workz is now people are going to start paying for thingz they have done. All those people that lead people into stupidity can easily be seen now; I laugh because I have been waiting for people for yearz to find out they are following, and following the most idiotic dumb ideaz possible. The time is coming for people to be so embarrassed for what they have done that they wont believe they were actually allowed to do it. In other wordz something out side of our stupid reality should have stopped such a idiotic action from happening. How can you tell thingz are changing??? Because people are finally starting to talk about. People are fake; But itz not their fault they have been programmed to follow from birth. From the mother raising a hand and telling you no, to the television telling a person what is cool and what iz not. The television is nothing more than a trend setter for the younger generationz. It tells them what iz acceptable and what is not acceptable in society. Next the leaderz of psychological terra forming sells people thingz that they are programmed to want and keep all of the money in their bucket from your life till your death. Sheeple are lead from birth till death by tele - vision "PROGRAMS" ... and other formz of heightening your neural energiez and forcing the energy by triggering a person into anger, happiness, sadness, etc. I read a spiritualist book and it explainz ... "how many timez in a day do you catch your body doing something that you do not consciously remember having it do.... lol most people think they are in control of themselvez... The human mind is so weak that television programz and other forms of terra forming do not even speak to it.... Television goez directly for the sub conscious mind... Another book that I came across, "most people wont read it because they have been told it was bad, and just like a flocker they did not read it"; Dianetics is the name, most people think the author was writing about "scientology" lol L Ron Hubbard was a Navy nuclear scientist before he started writing then became a author , next he created scientology. But back to the story, basically the book dianetics talks about what problems we have from birth and how we do not evaluate the sub conscious or the other consciousness created by problems or tragedies in our lives. These situationz cause errors in our sub conscious, in other words problems are and situations are recorded differently in the mind from other thingz. But the subconscious does funny thingz with these situationz and other situations that most people are finding out these dayz... Basically because of all the negative we all go through in life , people have to be fake because if they didnt they would be monsterz all day long... In other wordz most people try to hide their monsterz all day long, "that is the true meaning of fake"... That is why the media is the media ... it exploitz how people really act and makez cash from it... For example and people wont like thiz but itz true... Look around and find how many females go with out their make up or their hair styles and such.... The world haz programmed the female race so much that many cannot believe they are beautiful without "following" a trend ... they must be told what the style is and mass as much money as possible to meet those styles to "just be a part".... And who'z fault is it??? I mean most cannot get a job with out dressing and looking a certian way. Many people with genius do not and will not dress or act as otherz do. But to get a job many females have to dress and act a certian way ... basically just to survive... that iz the truth of the matter... itz pathetic But once agian it iz no onez fault ... before the 1950s women were attacked in public by a male for speaking out of turn... Therefore domination playz a big roll in all of these situationz... The explanation can go on forever ... The truth of the matter iz ... The world is so ugly it iz better for many people to be fake...
Maybe you're feeling the effects of the down swing it appears our society is taking. Technological advances like we have had mean more people spend their time doing what we are doing here, talking in a chat room instead of in person. Used to be people got together and did things together, got to know each other. Now, they just drop a few lines on facebook and then go watch porn. I mean, really, just look at the most populated forums here, the porn one and the drug one. No one wants to talk anymore other than to boast how many times they got laid, or what happened to them while they were high. I think greed has something to do with it also. People are too concerned with money, and getting more of it. There's no substance left in the world. Just money and control.
I totally agree with you "still kicking" , but there is something strange to thiz almost as if there is a pattern that can be seen to it ... ohhh yeah "too many bookz and tooo many thoughtz" Thiz whole scenario was spoken of in a book called "iron mountain" written by President Eisenhower I believe dont quote me on that but you can find the book itz quite interesting that a president was writing about future planz and possibly more...
I don't think people are being fake, I think that is probably who they truly are, walking around dazed and confused and don't realize their own actions. But, they tend to be aware for everyone else's actions.
I thought if people approached me it was because they liked me as a person, but really, they wanted to satisfy a need that they have. That is why if you are being used, if you suddenly need something they run very fast in the other direction. There are some people out there that are not users but they are hard to find. Never compromise your own self worth for someone else, if they don't like you then good riddance.
Sometimes people refer to me as "fake" or have a "facade", when in realty I'm not. I'm told "just be yourself". I do. I don't try to be anything but myself. But until people learn about me and know my personality, they misjudge me for it. When people take about being "fake", who are they to judge? Maybe they're right and maybe they're wrong. Who knows?
One of my friends is very friendly, enjoyable, enthusiastic, accomodating, diplomatic, good leader etc, but you get her by herself and she'll complain about all those people she just treated so well. Often she'll resent much of what they do, so I've coached her to be more clear in her interactions. I think she's seen the benefits of being sincere yet it didn't mean she alienated anyone. She has a lot of exposure to many people so she has to use these "fake" skills to be effective. But I think there's a better balance now. She and I are very close friends, and she has never felt judged by me, or vice versa. For myself, I don't have the same objectives as she, so it is not as necessary as me to develop those skills.
One of my friends is such that he keeps on claiming that he is my best friend but whenever there has come a time in my life where I needed him, he has had always escaped. Now isn't this his fake attitude? Where is my fault in it? (except the fact that I misunderstood him to be a true friend).
