5 Signs You’re Being Played (Future Faking)

Are you being played through future faking? Future faking is a manipulative tactic that is often used to string you along with false promises and empty lies.

We explore how future faking manifests in toxic relationships, toxic love, and even with a toxic crush. Whether it's grand promises about the future that never materialize or constant lying to keep you hooked, future faking can be incredibly damaging.

Understanding these signs can help you identify and protect yourself from manipulation in your dating life and relationships. We delve into the behaviors of manipulators, future fakers, and the impact of these toxic dynamics on your mental and emotional well-being.

Whenever I hear someone who future fakes, say the word “someday, ” I always know it’s code for “never.”

[nicolaridolfi]

So procrastinating is like future faking yourself... like you promise to yourself that you will do that thing... just not right now...




I think I am a future-faker toward myself

Just broke it off with someone like that. My biggest tip is to remember to listen and watch their actions and not just their words. Don’t doubt what you know is to be true and what was told to you. Stay strong let them go if need be, if you allow it better will come to you. 🙏🏾✨

My mom says that "I will... and someday are relatives of never"

[V_haunting_in_the_comments]

This hits hard when your just generally like this and not in a relationship 😭

[presntnow]

Empty promises, usually means it's time to move on from that person or put them at a distance and focus on yourself.

Be strong! ❤

This JUST was my relationship! Man, I've been future fake all my life and by a lot of people 😢
This video was just what I wanted to see.

Thank you for this!
The signs were something I didn't know about.
I relate to the date ones.

Because I was told: i would never leave you and then, wanting me to end the relationship.
And even said if I didn't do the changes, they've want me to do for their own benefits, which was do as they instructed me to put my item on a table when speaking to them, when before, i would just have my device on my lap and talk, not play video games, or talk about my fears or not wanting a lazy person and one who needs to have work experience in order to have their future ahead, instead of living off government checks.
When they never Nit-picked at it before. They would always play video games or watch stuff in the background while it was our time together and then never made eye contact with me and just hated to be in thinking on the future or our goals.
I'm glad I'm not going in the future with them or anyone who happens to be a bad person and blame and play victim and love bomb me.

I thought that said "5 Signs You’re Being Played With" 😭😭

[VPI_desu]

I realised that people wanting to play me always promise doing something for me if I do something for them and then don't do anything.

[grantnovjoseagowzhan]

As a future faker, i can confirm the 5th one; I don't intentionally do it, i'm just too nervous to say no to that person because she's nice. I know i'm doing the wrong thing but i can't bring myself up to say no

[niobedragones]

My mom does this to me constantly, I don't trust a single thing she says anymore when she says she's going to do something.
And when I do I feel like a fool.

14 years of sign #2.
"We can start spending more time together when I'm done with college / when I get a better job / when I don't work so far away..."
"I know I said we had the money for Disney World before getting you to agree, but we didn't actually so my mom and dad paid for half the trip. Don't worry, we're paying them back!"
"Happy Birthday! I bought you a trip to New Orleans because I've always wanted to go there, you can plan stuff too!"
"Next year you can plan a vacation! Wait no my family wants to go on a cruise."
"I know you made plans with friends and that I agreed, but can't we just spend a few more days at my parents' place? You can reschedule, right?"
"I know you said you didn't want to move across the country, but I took a new job 2000 miles away. I know I said I would look one state over, but... I. DON'T. LOVE. YOU. ANYMORE."

[songbirdrebel]

That is exactly why I don't make promises unless I have to intention to keep it through to the end. Hearing one too many empty promises can make you learn to take everything with a pinch of salt.

Now I learned Seek behaviours from doors because of this
