Fake people are everywhere, and yet nobody seems to notice until their true colors begin to take form. There is no one definition for "being fake." In fact, it is what one makes of it.
By definition, being fake is defined as "not genuine," meaning someone or a group of people putting on a facade to win people over, or not being true to themselves. They can act one way one day, and in another day, they can completely turn their back on you. They claim to be your friend in person, but they talk about you behind your back.
They smile with their hands crossed behind their back. They want to give you an embrace but really want to stab you. Here are 6 reasons of why being fake just isn't the answer and never should be.
1. Karma will hit you.
It will hit you in the end. Fake people just don't have real friends, and if they think they do, then they just believe everyone is fake just like them. Someone will be betray you too, and you will regret the fact that you were ever fake to those that were always trying to give you a chance to be friends. Losing that chance will teach you that lesson.
2. Your reputation matters, doesn't it?
If all you do is go around town two-timing people, what will your reputation be like in five years? Those that got betrayed or cheated on will always remember you as that attention-wanting person even though you may have changed, because people will forgive, but will never forget.
3. You won't ever be REALLY happy.
What is happiness, you ask? Well, it certainly cannot occur if all you do is go around bringing people down, of course. In the end, maybe a shot in the head can finally wake you up.
4. It won't get you anywhere in life.
If all you want is popularity and people to like you, you can't accomplish that by hanging with the wrong people. If you want to be the wrong type of popular, be my guest, but don't expect everyone to like you. Be Regina George and be secretly hated by all.
5. You can never change.
All those people you hurt and betrayed will finally move in, but you will always be stuck in the past, regretful of what you may have done to them. But how come you made that choice in the first place?
6. You will have a lot of enemies.
You may think they're all your friends, but your being fake can only get you so far. These enemies will build up, and they will have their rights, because they care about themselves, their dignity, and their justice to be avenged.
In the end, just do not be fake. It's the last resort to anything. Yes, I may be thinking in an utopian mindset, but wouldn't it be nice if everyone just says what they mean and act how they feel for the other person, rather than putting on an act just to get something out of someone?
