Why Pretend To Be Someone That You Are Not?

I worked at LGU until mid2012. Although I love my job there, I chose to resigned and look for another job that pays on time. Well, this is not about my past job but my former colleague. This person has the attitude that is hard to figure out. I know this person and out of respect to people older than me, I kept silent when she will brag anything about herself to other people while you are there listening. But the most disturbing part is when she claims something that is not true. One of those was she’s pretending to be a midwife and later on as a nurse but truth on that is she’s only a nursing attendant. She studied nursing on weekends while working but unable to finish it. People around the village thought that it’s true. I don’t know but the head of the station tolerated the behavior although those lies from many lies were not true. She even claimed that she’s a regular employee but not. To most of us, we tried to understand unless it will cause us harm. That was a long time ago but I learned that this person hasn’t changed. For me, it’s a shame to pretend and I wonder why this person is doing that. Photo Credit: pixabay.com

I wonder why there are people like that. Maybe they would like to be looked up by their colleagues. Does she know that there are some of you who knows her real status?

@ZedSmart If i were her officemate, i will tell her to stop doing it or better still do it where noone knows what her real status is.

She's aware of that. Maybe she's not worried because we're type of persons who do not want to tell people that she's lying (except if she will commit fraud).

@ZedSmart I am who I am. I do not try to be something I am not. Right now I am trying to figure out what do I really want to do with my life and it is not easy.

@ZedSmart I am who I am and people either like me or do not. I do not try to be someone else.

It's better to be true and not being pretentious.

The reason why people put the mask on their face is because they're fearing that the others will know the dark side and true thoughts of theirselves.

But the truth is there are people who knew the real truth. I think this person is just fooling herself.

It is bad to make people believe things that is not true.No one will like her anymore once they know the truth.

She may have many acquaintances but I don't know if she really has true friends to call.

My neighbor tries to live like he is rich when in fact they are not, they use someone’s car’s-the cars of his clients. It is okay if they pretend to be something they are not, but the thing is, they mock people who have few clothes and so on. The wife has many clothes because she shops from a second hand shop, the clothes of which just costs a dollar a piece. Or even less.

Oh my! I hope that they will realize that or do you think they will forever live that way no matter what?

that's pretty risky if she's not really qualified to be a nurse or midwife

She underwent training on handling deliveries when traditional midwife was still allowed to handle. But it's very wrong to tell people that way.

@didinedhia Ah I get it. Maybe they have social problems during that period and keep it until the present.
