If I don’t feel valued or loved by a person, I walk away for good. No one can love you the way you can love yourself.

Met too many narcissistic and fake people who love drama & gossiping and gaslighting .

[cloudygrosso]

What bothers me most is how others can't see through the facade, and people with fake traits are viewed as "strong characters", oozing charisma.

[Bebornagain]

This is why I don’t have a lot of friends. It’s not that I don’t want any, I can’t FIND any lol

Many of the signs he listed parallel with narcissistic behavior.

Some people have deep resentment not because they are fake but because they were hurt so many times but have hard time forgiving.

not everyone who's honest is a fake person that's quite disingenuous, i always say what i feel and i don't try to shield other peoples emotions from the truth.. i was always told a friend will tell you what you want to hear but a real friend will tell you what you need to hear.. its more fake not to be honest and gaslight people into false thinking, i don't want anyone to have the wrong impression of me when it comes to being open and honest

Sunglasses, flash cars, fancy homes, possessions, instagram lifestyle posts, jump from partner-to-partner... seen a lot of them, stay clear. Sales people, entrepreneurs, money obsessed, hubs like LA and NYC are full of them.

I have a young relative who visits sometimes and it dawned on me after a while that they only talk about themselves and their problems during their visits; usually a lot of drama goes along with it. When they are teenagers that kind of self absorption is more normal and acceptable, but once they are adults and still act this way, it’s quite off-putting. I find myself so drained after a weekend visit it takes me days to recover from the drama. Energy vampire.

In order to avoid manipulative people (an alternative to the term "fake") it is best to analyse people from a distance, listen to the way they talk, watch the way they act and then you know exactly who and what you are dealing with. I see too many procrastinators in everyday life and too many people who don't use their initiative and I've been obliged to protect myself from these people in order to protect my health and well being. It's so sad 😞😥😢💔

[crystalwatson]

This me doing all the work whether it's a relationship or friendship like I'm the only one who reaches out them and always get no for an answer. So I think I have fake friends.

Describing a covert narcissist without using the word.

[babbyfacerevocation]

That describes my brother perfectly the way he was. All way tell the TRUTH and stay out of trouble I'm done with fake phony persona people.

Thank you so much for this video. Wow! It has confirmed so much in my beliefs concerning some people in my life. This should be required viewing for every child before entering high school. God bless you and your work.

[daviderickennedy]

I love this. Thinking of them as a Fake Person is so much more useful and even identifying than calling them people with NPD, ASPD, etc. Telling your friends you don't want to be around a person because they are a Fake Person (as you described it is) so much more relatable than a calling them a Narcissist. Even if they are a Narcissist, many people will say you are not qualified, Fake Person. YES, this is just what I needed!

[brianramodise]

I just learned today that I'm a fake person.

[vanessita]

I really wish I was an animal at this point. Or a tree. A tree is good.

[naajiyahjess]

Fake people are not necessarily narcissists and this video described both.

[michaeljoyce]

So I have fake person tendencies. Good to know because I didn't know let alone know to fix it. Thank you who ever made this video. I will say some of the things said is simply non void everyone should be like it. For example you meet someone and they're all nice so on and so forth but I'm sorry if they're not a good hearted person and just trashy I'll be nice while you talk to me but I'm out for ever after that. It's to much drama with nasty hearted people to say " I can't mess with you, you're not a good person. They'll get mad and try and ruin your life and play victim.
