5 Ways to Recognize Fake Love Without Getting Played

In our daily lives, we come into contact with a wide range of people. Some we like, some we adore, and some come to us primarily to teach us lessons about love, friendship, trust, and a variety of other topics. 

Those are the ones who can be labeled as "fake love." 

They have more than one side to them. It is difficult to rely on either of these sides. Fake people never mean what they say or do. They change depending on the situation and circumstances. They are not one of those you can rely on to be the same.

Their words, moods, behavior, and general attitude toward things and people change all the time. Two-faced and inauthentic people may be incredibly sweet to you when you're present, but in your absence, they may be the polar opposite; they may tell you they like you while telling someone else you're a horrible person behind your back. That is something that people do. 

Nobody wants to be associated with people who are deceptive and untrustworthy. If you want to avoid people who are deceptive, you must first identify the defining characteristics of their personalities. How do you define a toxic, phony person who is thousands of miles away?

1. They are always pretending to be nice: 

No one can be friendly to everyone all of the time. Even people we admire can lose their cool, become upset, fight, or cry from time to time, because we are not always our best selves. Let me tell you something: if you notice someone being consistently nice to you, you should be concerned. Consider it a forewarning. No matter how absurd it may sound, you should always be wary of people who are overly kind and sweet to the point where it feels unnatural. Behind their friendliness, there is almost always a hidden agenda. They might want something from you or something else. With such people, you never really know. Keep an eye out.

2. They make deceptive promises:

Someone whose goodness is phony has a habit of making too many commitments, giving the impression that they are reliable. They make every effort to persuade us that they will be there for us in our hour of need. But if you ask for their assistance or want them to hold your hand through difficult times, they will vanish into thin air. They will not be seen anywhere near you until your problem has been resolved. 

They will give you ridiculous reasons for not being able to assist you, but understand that such people are never truthful about their ability to assist you. They will only stay when it is convenient for them. If you know someone who does this, stop trusting them because their actions and sentiments are false.

3. They encircle their prey: 

If you have something to say or get off your chest, they will ignore you. Listening is not part of their personality. Their talking, on the other hand, is what they rely on. A two-faced person will talk to multiple people individually and never come out of the shadows to explain what they've been saying. They will choose not to say anything aloud.

During conversations, everything will be whispered and slipped in subtly. Such a person usually does not have an end goal in mind, but rather seeks temporary gratification or an ego boost. They will use these tactics to corner their prey, slowly and secretly telling others untrue things about them. To top it all off, they will continue to be lovely to this person, so that the person will have no idea what is being said behind their back.

4. They never make the first move:

Every relationship requires effort on both sides. If you are the only one who is making the first move and attempting to meet or contact them, you should pause and assess the situation. People who are kind to your face and act like your closest friend, but are unconcerned about you when you don't try to be around them, are fake and hypocritical.

5. The Critique: 

When a friend criticizes you, it is to help or improve some aspect of your personality, work, or whatever it is. However, there is no positivity in criticizing a friend behind their back. They are the type of people who will criticize everything about you to everyone except the person in question. Because, while they may sugarcoat it as "critiquing you for your improvement," it is simply gossip about you behind your back. They may appear to want what is best for you, but their good intentions are phony. They will be envious of your joy; you are their success. They will gossip about you behind your back. 

CONCLUSION

If someone is genuine, they will conceal your flaws from the rest of the world, rather than flaunting them and pointing them out as soon as they get the chance. That is how a two-faced person behaves in social situations, and there is nothing you can do about it. So stay away from such people that claim to love you, cause these are the 5 ways to recognize fake love without getting played.

That's All.
