im talking about the people that act like they care or try to act like they are maybe in a different social circle or that they are an expert on things they know nothing of? etc.. they usually crack after awhile and show their true colors but what is the point? if your not a nice person dont act like you are.. i know that sounds horrible but im sick of people that totally are fake to people and think its ok.. for the ones that think they are experts in areas they are not such as technology they come and act like they will help and then if you know how to fix it they wont listen since your not "smart" enough to fix it yet they are like having problems finding the on/off button.. the people that fake that they are in different social circles i think is sad because i have seen poor people literally try to hide their past and like spend money they dont have because they dont want to admit they may not have money for something.. i dont agree that social circles should exist but its sad that people feel like they have to be fake to be in a different one.. i dunno im really getting sick of fake people and i hope they realize if they arent in it for long term maybe they shouldnt be fake in the first place.. do they even realize that they are hurting themselves and their character? not to mention people that believed into their charade that they were a good person and then get treated like crap in the end because they thought they knew who the fake people were and that the person actually liked being around them etc.. which of course leads other people to not trust anyone after running into one after another since there seems to be an outbreak of them..

Yes, I believe the really think they can get away with it. They have so much of self confidence of that they can. But those are just a small number. They have a name of it. Psychopath´s is what I call them. And they really do think they get away with everything the do or say. However, some of those people do have some conscience so hopefully they do get caught. I have a gift knowing when people do have this bad behavior. I feel who I can trust and who I can not trust. It is up to one self to learn who of all people you do meet in life you can trust.

well i can usually have a gut feeling about it but i just figured that people have been wrong about me (on different subjects not these) and that its possible im wrong on them and 99% of the time my gut is right and i end up looking like a fool.. i need to trust my gut but it took me awhile to figure out why i may get a bad vibe.. i am trying to do better and listen to myself but i see so many people wrong about me that i just cant help but think that maybe im being judgmental and could be wrong.. cuz god knows i dont want to hurt people as i have been hurt by misjudgment

Let me tell you a little story from my life where I learned to trust my feelings about people. At my work we are six people working together as assistance nurses. One of them and I had a disagreement. And I felt we could work it out. And we did. I was talking to another of my cow workers about her and the incident we had a disagreement over. I told her, she is not the trouble at our work, I told the second cow worker about a third cow worker that could be a much more trouble to us, I said I do not trust her at all. For a couple of weeks before the summer holiday started I got it right. This cow worker made bad things to me and talked bad stuff about me to others at work and we had to work it out with the bos, so we did. But I felt she would not live it be, even though I had the bos behind me helping me with this. She is still making hard time for me. But I feel she will not stay long so I just live it be. I have all my other cow worker behind me and the bos to so why bother. After this I always listen to my instinct. I know My feelings are right.

Hi Moonlit, I'd think these people REALLY think that we're taken in by their words or actions. I've a colleague who is exactly as you described in your post. We know her well; but others (like outsiders, customers, staff) don't. So they are very impressed with her, thinking that she's smart, capable, kind, whatever. She's a very much to be-pitied person, living in self-denial, a world of her own lies. One of us would be talking about our holidays in a foreign country, and the next time, we would her telling some customer or staff about the same subject, as if she went on that holiday. She would pretend to be very helpful to you, if you were to tell her your problems, offering to find out more info for you. You can rest assured, you will never receive the info, unless you are very rich or a VIP . She put her husband on a pedestal, telling everyone that he's capable, clever, whatever. Her husband actually depends on her for money - she paid for the house, cars and most of the household expenses. She also conveniently 'took' company info (eg. customer contacts and database) to help the husband in his sales job. So this is a classic case of a fake! How would you expose her? We caught her out in her lies, a number of times; but she's really very thick-skinned about it all, and continue happily in her lies. Well ????
