Have you ever heard of fakers? (or maybe pretender or imposter)
Definition
Just in case if we are not having the same idea on the word ‘faker’. Faker here means ‘having a false or misleading appearance, fraudulent.’
Oh yeah~ misleading!
Who is a faker?
Basically it can be anyone. A teacher, your BFFs, anyone walking on the street, basically anyone.
Let’s take one simple example: There is a (job title) who doesn’t like me and keep on poking on my mistakes, even minor ones. Better still, she dare to say, “you will fail your (subject name) paper in exam.” She is rude, especially to me and some other not so shining students. However when it comes to meeting parents, she is pathetically “angelic”. Yes, I am using pathetic because her acting skills sucks. Even my mum could detect that she is pretending.
Note: This is just a real life example. If you feel that I am talking about
you, then most probably that person is you.
If you have better examples, I would suggest you to write one at the comments section.
Dealing with fakers
One simple advice when dealing with fakers are by not feeding them. Yes, it’s the same thing as “Don’t feed the troll”.
By doing that, you’re not only saving yourself a breath, it might help to prolong your life as well as promote healthy living. This is not exaggerated but a true fact.
I admit I am a faker. What should I do?
Just be yourself. Hiding your true self is not going to help. If you are hiding your imperfection, weakness… Perhaps you might wanna read my article: Imperfection.
This is a real lovely MV that I dedicate to readers. Enjoy!
