This is a pretty true thing, and something to keep in mind when looking at current, well, very current developments.

Not true at all. You don’t just show respect for everyone. Respect is earned

    Admiration is a very strong feeling that should be reserved for few. Criticism for good intentions is much better than unsubstantial appraisal!

    critisism and insult are different things criticism are meant to build insult are just to make someone feel bad

    I know a fake person who has never missed an opportunity to criticize others with fake reasons. And now I know why 😉

    Well...there is a world between saying everything openly and potentially hurting people a lot, and talking behind their back. While talking openly is usually adviseable, being respectful sometimes permits it. Of course, this does not mean to gossip instead...

    I have a family member that is very good about helping people and almost anyway , but, he always keeps score . To me, that takes away from the blessing of helping someone . You never help someone and then think quotation mark they owe me quotation mark.

    I think this is the most applicable of all of them...while most other pictures here allow for a "but...", this one hardly does.

    Genuine people don't swear or profane (if they do it occasionally, & sorry they did it, & ask forgiveness, you're okay) & fake people are so vain, that they don't care if they offended anyone. 🤨😠

    It is fake trying to make friends with people you perceive as having high status. You need to be comfortable in your own skin.

    I wish it was that simple, unfortunately each of those professions can be subdivided.

    I wouldn't immediately labwl these as fake. Some people just can't say "no", even when they don't want to do what they promised. Then it gets too hard o keep all those commitments you accepted. Also, even when you do your best to keep the promises, the endeavour might last not long enough until completition, which can also be part of a mental disorder....

    Commenting on this one can only go wrong because it is searching for attention. Well, actually posting this picture as Lifehack is a search for attention. ;)

    Genuine people can be desperate for attention also, when they have something important to share, like an astronomer spotting a comet with a trajectory towards earth or scientist educating polluting companies about the impact of global-warming.

    I disagree with this one. It depends on situations, what kind of attention you seek and what for. Attention seeking isn't neccessarily bad.

    There is one very important point who missed Genuine people Ask other people of they are right and pay attention if they feel bad Fake people Only talk to you if they need something but they are not interested in you
