Have you encountered people that at first, they seem to be so friendly, sweet and kind to you but as time goes by they will turn cruel and mean. I can't understand why they suddenly change. I would like a person who shows that they are naturally mean and cruel to you at first but gradually they start to soften and become nice rather than they started nice then they seem to bite you. I hate people like that, it's better than they don't exert effort to be nice in the beginning and then transform themselves into monsters.

I have met many people like that. I think that they don't like themselves that's why they wear this mask and thats why they are so mean and angry inside.

It's hard because like I said they are lovable at the start, you are almost drawn to them and want to keep them. All of a sudden, you can't understand why they bite you.

Hi - I know what you ean, I too thought the same tha I am good at judging people but some times we fail to understand the intentions of a real fake. I have just come across on such person, a lady, who breached my trust in all people. I had lot of trust in her but she did me a lot of harm.

Have had this happen so often I can't remember the last time it didn't happen! Most recently has been a dealing with our daughter's apartment manager. Oh she was so sweet and kind. Yeah, well that didn't last long. Our daughter is in the process of moving out of that complex. Because her rent was a few days late, this manager changed the locks and put an eviction notice on her door. Only one problem, the notice was tossed inside the apartment and our daughter couldn't get inside to see the notice. How fair is that one? So now they are limiting her to the times she can make the move happen. No freedom here whatsoever. The lease was in our daughter's name only. So she had a little setback with finances and was late with her payment. Does that give the so called sweet, little manager the right to lock all of us out so we can't get inside the apartment to move her? Oh and she also made sure the dog was removed and then wouldn't tell any of us where the dog was until the other day she suddenly had the dog in her possession within 2 hours. Talk about livid, I was but kept it together. I like to act like an adult, which I am, in these types of situation but can see the manager never learned the same kind of behavior. I always tell our kids, "you can't fix stupid."

I agree. I would much rather conduct myself like a lady vs a phony crank like the manager I mentioned above. This woman likes control so maybe that's why she has the manager position with this company. A take charge person even though that doesn't make her right. I meet all kinds of people and some are quite interesting.

Well, we are not angels. I realized I could be like that too at times. I can play nice then turn monstrous and evil. The lesson is not all smiles are real.

We need sometime to fake it for the sake of the people we don't want to hurt. But some people are just annoyingly fake for their ego reason not for the benefits of others. I don't like to be with people who are like them too, people that seems good and concerned but actually is or are not.

I remember some of them. They love exalting themselves but crushing on other's spirit. At first they look positive but just give them enough time and you'll soon be wipe out.

They probably just tried making friends and keeping the relationship between people. But sometimes, you just don't like some people and there is nothing you can do about it. Sme people stay fake because they need something from the person. They show their true colors once they've already gotten what they wanted,

That's the most frightening of all. They keep being nice because they are after something but deep inside they have hidden motives which might surprised you.

Thats why they say, you should never finish anything. They can only hurt you once they've finished. They can only hurt you once they've gotten what they want.

There are people in the world who are fake in their behaviour and manner.Such people change their behaviour from person to person or according to their needs.Most of the times such people are not good at their heart and can go to any extent to profit themselves at the cost of others.One should look out for such people and try to remain as far as possible from such people.

They adjust their behavior from person to person. It's hard to trust people that are tricky.

That's right, these people can be hard to trust as they only manipulate people to their own advantage using sympathy and flattering words.

Sometimes I wonder if that is why mylot is so popular. Because you can sit, chat and feel real empathy for a person and their stories but you're still anonymous. It's not opening yourself up too much so it feels safer. You know we encounter people like that through our lives and you just have to wonder sometimes what am I doing wrong? I know it's nothing because people are people and you can't change who they are or how they act....but it sure would make the world a more pleasant place if they just wore a big sign on their head - Warning Asswhat Alert.

Definitely. You start to wonder what am I doing wrong. For them your always doing wrong. They'll be nice for a while then can't control it anymore.

The problem with people who are cruel and mean, is that they've found out over time that they can't get people to be nice to them and make friends with others, when they start out as cruel and mean. They're not thinking to themselves, "I gotta be nice to them at first, to get on their good side..." it's just a natural reaction they have, because they've learned that people don't want to be friends with mean people. If those people were straight up mean to you when you were just a stranger, then would you have become friends with them at all? You just have to learn what makes them nicer, and what makes them meaner, and try to keep a good balance :)

Because to be called good citizens we try to be as nice as much as we can to anyone, then time will come we cannot pretend anymore. There are people that we simply want to kick right away and their mere presence ruins our day so we stop playing nice and kick them hard.

I think that this is something that is the most likely to be the case with females than males. I really don't know why it is that there are so many females that are fake, but that has been the way that I've seen things in my life. In fact, it is because of the fact that there are a lot of women that are very superficial and quick to stab you in the back that I don't have a lot of female friends. I have some friends that are female, but the vast majority of my friends are either couple friends or males.

Most of the time, the first impression of a person can be very deceiving. Because some people tends to show a positive side of them when they meet people. But when you really get to know one another, that is the time when their true identity will slowly show itself. It takes time to get to know people, but the time is worth it to determine who is the real friend and who is fake.

It takes time. That is true. We have first impressions but we build that impression as time goes by.

Yeah, we cannot please someone to be true with themselves. I am the kind of person who is really not that easy to befriended by someone. I mean, I am not that "feeling close" type of person.Before I do submit my full trust with someone and my whole me, I am observing first what is their attitude and if I like that attitude then probably I'll gonna befriend him or her so that in the end I will not regret that I befriended her or him that far.

yes, I really agree with you. and I have seen that kind of people almost all of my life. I have experienced those who in the begining show that they are so nice and kind but after a short time their real face appear and we understand the reality of their ugly heart and mind. and those who are not friendly in the begining but after a while they become really good ones in our life.

It's hard to avoid such kind of person knowing nothing that they are being pretentious and seems an angel to our face. We need to be careful in dealing with or being a friend with those person, to avoid yourself to be angry with unworthy people.

Yes, there are some people who guise their true color at first if they see a chance, especially if they would benefit in doing so. These are the people we call opportunist. I have not encountered anyone like that yet and I do hope I would not.

That is world for you, people act as if they are the most friendly and wonderful people in the world.Later as soon as you share your secrets with such people they show you their real colors. They even betray you. I have just experienced one such incident where the one looking most trusted made me pay through my nose.

I knew people like this. I do have office mate here at first she acts indifferently and it really make me sick. There was a time that I wanted to give-up but I need job. So, I didn't mind her instead every time she snobs at me or scolded I only smiled at her. As if I'm not affected.

I met people like that who are angels at first and evil in the end. Sometimes I can feel that they are talking behind my back. At first they are really friendly, they always go to our house and do fun stuff and until time goes by, i noticed there is a sudden change of treatment, I never did anything wrong. it's just weird. It happen to me when I was young and it happen again, that's why it's hard for me to trust people due to that experienced.
