MANY people are highly skilled when it comes to deceipt and manipulation that even the discerning ones become their victims. They pretend to be kind, sweet, and thoughtful, until the mask falls off.

What are the characteristics of fake people?

They do things only if it will benefit them. Even relationships must be of some use to them. They are mostly on the receiving end. They give just a little, but their demands are borderless.

They are very organized. They remember the smallest detail about their targets and use it against them when the opportunity comes.

They are skilled at feigning affection and concern. They may even volunteer to do you a favor or save you in a moment of “distress” (orchestrated) just to win your trust.

They namedrop rich, famous and powerful persons. They label them as friends, relatives, investors, and associates for the same purpose.

They are not consistent – and they have a ready excuse for that. They say a lot of things, but their actions prove the opposite.

They don’t care about your feelings. In fact, they will take advantage of your feelings and good intentions just to get what they want. They will even hurt you and call you names when you say no. Never expect loyalty from them.

They always have a back up. Months or years before they abandon their partners, they already have secret relationships. They are not capable of loving people genuinely. They are only after what they can get from a relationship.

They make their victims believe that they need them, when in fact they are the ones who need the latter. They get angry when people demand honesty and fairness. They are highly skilled at making the abused believe that they are the ones at fault, that they are just jealous, envious, and demanding.

Who will not feel drained, angry, and unhappy with this kind of people? Take care of yourself. Learn how to spot and distance yourself from users and master manipulators!
