and are loyal to a fault is essential for moving forward in life.

themselves to be?

With that said, here are some helpful hints that could help you separate a fake person
from a genuine one.
1 Respectful vs. Condescending: Someone who has a genuine personality will do everything
in their power to respect everything and anyone.
They take a person’s feelings into consideration and will do everything in their power to make
someone feel comfortable no matter the situation.
Someone who has a fake personality will only respect those who are in power because they
always want to gain something out of any situation, so if they have to put on some acting skills
to get what they want, they will.
Genuine people care about others around them.
They care about other people's opinions and strongly believe that everyone has the right
to their own opinion.
Even if a genuine person doesn’t necessarily agree with another person’s beliefs or views,
he or she will be respectful about it.
Fake people, on the other hand, tend to be condescending.
They believe that their opinions or views are the only ones that matter.
They will often try to talk over people they are having an argument with and will be very
disrespectful.
2 Seek No Recognition vs. Needing Recognition: When it comes to making someone happy, a genuine
individual will never go out of their way to get recognition; all they want is for the
person to be happy.
Sometimes they will keep their actions hidden.
Fake people are the total opposite.
They will do everything in their power to help you and tell everyone about it because
they want to be seen as the favorite and they want everyone to know it.
Fake people tend to think that they are better than everyone, and will stoop to new lows
to make themselves appear in a good light.
A genuine person puts others before them, while a fake person only cares about him or
herself.

3 Hidden vs. Spotlight: Spending time alone can do wonders for the mind, and genuine people
understand that.
They have no problem staying in their comfort zone, even if that means spending hours alone.
People around them respect and understand their decision and will often follow their
lead at times.
Fake people are the total opposite.
They crave attention and will do whatever they need to stay in the spotlight because
they believe that the world revolves around them.
Fake people need attention on them at all times.
They will even lie in certain situations to make themselves appear better than everyone
else.
When the spotlight is on someone or something else, a fake person will do everything in
his or her power to get the spotlight placed back on them.
4 Humble vs. Conceited: It’s nice to be recognized for special achievements in life,
but nobody likes a bragger.
That is why genuine people are humbled by their achievements and prefer not talking
about them.
They would much rather hear about other people’s achievements.
Because fake people need to be the center of attention, they will constantly brag about
their achievements, you might even hear them tell the same story more than once.
They need to be the alpha of the group at all times.
Fake people love when all the attention is on them, and will often brag about things
to make themselves appear in a much better light.
They will tend to take certain achievements (whether big or small) and talk about these
achievements to anyone who will listen.
Fake people tend to talk a lot, and will also often bend the truth in certain situations
so that they can be in the spotlight.
Genuine people, on the other hand, are very humble.
If they achieve certain things or reach a certain goal, they will not brag about it,
and will rarely ever talk about it.
5 In Front of You Vs. Behind You: If someone is a genuine individual and they have something
to say about you, they will tell you to your face.
They have no hidden motive and respect you enough to tell you.
They hope that the conversation will resolve any issue that may have surfaced.
Fake people are cowards when it comes to confrontation.
They will smile when they see you, but the second you turn your back, you become their
enemy.
They love to gossip and enjoy drama.
Fake people lie about a lot of things.
They will never confront someone face to face, but will rather talk behind a person’s back.
They feed off of drama and like conflict, but will be sneaky and fake to your face.
Fake people like this are not to be trusted.
It is best to avoid these types of people all together.
Fake people will also lie and manipulate behind your back, and possibly even spread rumours
about you.
Genuine people, on the other hand, do not like drama.
If they have a problem with you, they will say it to your face and in private.
Genuine people are real, and will never go behind another person’s back.
They will tell the person exactly what they think and feel, and will not be rude about
it.
6 Walk vs. Talk: Someone with a genuine personality will do everything in their power to not break
a promise.
If they do not follow through with it, they take ownership of it and do not resort to
excuses.
A fake person will talk a big game and will rarely come through.
Unlike a genuine person, a fake person will give you a long list of excuses, and you might
even notice that they will constantly use the same ones.
A real person gets things done.
They take ownership for their actions and are accountable for everything they do.
If a real person makes a promise, he or she will do everything in their power to keep
that promise.
A fake person, on the other hand, will make promises and not follow through with them.
A fake person is not reliable and should not be trusted.
If you ask a fake person for a favor, he or she will tell you they will do it but in all
reality, they probably won’t.
A fake person will only consider doing a favor if there is something in it for him.
7 Imperfection vs. Perfection: Genuine people are always looking to learn new lessons from
others.
They are also very gracious and admirable to people.
They know that they’re not perfect and will thank someone anytime they learn something
from them.
Fake people will go out of their way to be critical in any situation.
They will constantly be looking for mistakes people make and will criticize them for it.
They feel accomplished when they are able to spot mistakes.
8 No Ulterior Motives vs. Ulterior Motives: When someone with a genuine personality helps
you, it’s because they want to.
They don’t need any recognition or any praise, they want to make sure that you’re happy
and safe.
Fake people have that “I scratch your back you scratch mine” type of mentality.
If they help you, they want something in return.
If they sense that there is no reciprocation, they won’t lift a finger.
A real person will genuinely want to help you with something, and will not expect anything
in return.
Because real people have good hearts, they want to help the people they care about.
A fake person, on the other hand, will not do anything for anyone unless there is something
in it for them.
There are all sorts of different types of people in this world.
Fake people tend to think about themselves, lie, manipulate, and hurt others around them.
Real, genuine people are humble and are always looking out for the best interests of certain
people in their life.
It’s important to watch for certain signs and red flags when you first meet someone
to determine if they are fake or genuine.

people at all costs.
