Do you fake how you act around other people?

I don't fake I just get quiet sometimes.

If you can't say nothing nice.

More of the silent type when i'm around people i don't know but I don't change. I still say stupid and intelligent things as always when they do!

I know when to shut up. Not a bad skill to have.

I'm a very weird and crazy person, so if I don't fake it people will think I'm completely abnormal. A lot of people think that I am a quiet and sensible girl, but I am actually a vulgar and loud person. :L

Bad ver.

Cool ver.
Do you fake how you behave around other people?

Sometimes you have to hide your feelings, especially when other people are having a difficult time, they don't need your stresses too. So yes at times I pretend and behave differently to how I am feeling. But I really appreciate those occasions where I am totally myself for a while.

At work you need to be professional so feelings cannot influence your behaviour too much. Leadership comes naturally for some and providing you know when to be a leader (and not take over) and when to be quiet, then thats fine.

i dont like blending in. i just play naturally and i get along just fine. everyone loves me for the stupid, entertaining person i am who has a 94% average in school :)

I'm a little overbearing at times but the question is do i care? Nope not really. so yeah do i care about u ??

Everyone is fake.... I mean if people could read my mind.... I would have been committed a long time ago. What I say and what I think are 2 very seperate worlds. My frontal lobe is working hard to try and make sure I dont say what I mean.......... my partner is the only person who knows the dark truth ;)

You seem to just care more about the outcome of situations than the other people that you're with. take the lead if that's natural to you. to avoid other's resentment, make sure to allow others to speak and take their opinions into serious consideration.

Sometimes faking it can be a skill. I think it's fine to be out of touch socially, or antisocial, as you call it. In fact, I think it's a fine thing, because you get a chance (or a curse, as it feels sometimes) to actually analyze social workings. From my experience, some of the most intelligent people *have* to fake it, because they can't live fully in the moment. Know it's a blessing, but understand that it feels like a curse.
So yeah, try it on, see what you can do. It's a great skill to have when you are forced to get along with someone you don't particularly like ;)

i agree that at work it is ok to act professionally fake lol what i am tryin to say is to customers. like if someone is going on and on and they are old and need a lot of time to get things out. then you have to really just act as if it's ok. but what i don't get is when ppl are fake to each other when they are both on the same level or friends. i just started to realize that some i work with is a master in pretending to be equal and on the same level with everyone just because she loves attention and compliments. so instead of risking to have one person dislike her, she tries to fake talks with them and act cool with them even though she talks behind their back a lot. she is with everyone. and trust me she is not mother theresia. she ain't doing it for god. it's really a sneaky type of thing she does. she makes each person that talks to her think she is totally on their side and with them on the same page. i know so cus when they walk out she says something crazy about them. she does not mind being liked for fake reasons. she does ppl favors through her job authority just so they can praise her. she wont help a random person just those that look cool enough for her to impress. how crazy is that? well i start to wonder if im crazy or she...she got a lot of friends that talk shit behind her back but hey she got them tho. lol

When I am around people that seem pretty chill, then I will be myself. But if they are loud, annoying, and immature then I will either be quiet or tell them how annoying they are.

I'm great at pretending I'm interested in something I' m not. But this is only thanks to my job. I cashier at a grocery store so I constantly have a big fat smile on my face and pretend that whatever the customer says is funny or whatever. Yeah, kids. Next time your at the grocery store, thank the cashier for doing what they do because they sure as hell don't want to be there.

when I was an adolescent, I used to not have any self confidence so I used to try to fake being cool, but it didnt work.. now im never fake (unless I have no choice like in a work setting) but im happiest now, and going thru hard times made me 'cooler' in the long run bcuz now I appreciate things more than I would have. id never go back to that time!! i got picked on and bullied on a daily basis pretty much, and now im prettier than most my own age bcuz I worked at it. im 36 now and get hit on by 18 yr olds and I remember and im lik, HELL NOOOO.. lol

Nowadays everybody is just faking it, they'll stab you in the back anytime.
