How to Spot a Fake Person
11:2:28 2024-04-27 776

1- They're quick to judge.

They won't hesitate to pass judgment and rarely give compliments. Fake people tend to manipulate and claw their way to the top by putting others down. Belittling the people around them bolsters their own sense of self and helps them feel less threatened by others.

  • For example, a fake person might give a co-worker a back-handed compliment instead of saying something genuinely nice.
  • They might make passive-aggressive comments about a colleague’s work performance, or make a judgmental remark about a friend’s outfit.

2- They’re rude and hurtful.

Fake people make harsh comments without a second thought. Friends may poke fun at each other once in a while, but their playful barbs will always be just that: playful. Check-in with yourself after spending some time with this individual—do they make you feel supported and uplifted, or treat you like you’re worthless?[2] If you always feel negative around this person, there’s a good chance they’re fake.[3]

  • A fake friend might say something like, “You aren’t good enough to make the soccer team” or “You shouldn’t bother applying to that school.” A lot of times, these hurtful remarks stem from jealousy.
  • A fake person won’t give out compliments. Instead, they’ll look for ways to bring everyone else down.

3- They don’t really listen.

Your conversations will go in one ear and out the other. If someone’s really busy, they might not be able to give you their full attention. That’s okay—what isn’t okay is when a person never invests in or pays attention to what you have to say. If your friend, co-worker, or acquaintance is just going through the motions of a conversation, they’re probably a fake person.

  • For instance, a fake person might seem bored or zoned out when you talk about your plans for the night.
  • If you tell a fake person that you’re going to a wedding over the weekend, they won’t bother asking you how it went.

4- They’re always trying to please others.

Fake people are desperate to be liked and noticed. Because of this, fake individuals will do everything under the sun to get a thumbs up or nod of approval from the people around them. In everyday conversations, fake people might adjust their opinions and statements instead of sticking to their beliefs.

  • When talking about politics with a group of people, a fake person might change their opinion to match the majority.

5- They spread rumors.

Fake people believe they’ll be more popular by putting others down. Pay attention to what this person does in their day-to-day life. Are they supportive and uplifting, or do they spend their time gossiping about other people? If they have nothing better to do than spread false rumors, they’re probably a fake person.

  • A fake person might gossip about the least popular person in school, or spread false rumors to manipulate their friends.
