It is crucial to know how to spot a dishonest person, to avoid being hurt and deceived by someone who is pretending to be trustworthy but is using you to further their own selfish goals.

Even though there are some fakers who may not cause serious harm, there are others who could demolish your good name, family, business, and even your entire life.

Easy to please versus hard to impress

Genuine people are normally not desperate to impress others. They are usually comfortable with how they are and aren’t looking for approval from others. Fake people, on the other hand, always do things which make them seem more favourable and are often also hard to impress.

Genuine people want to make you happy; fake people think of how they can be happy by using you

Genuine folks will text, call or strike a random conversation with you to check if you are doing okay.

Genuine people are honest; fake people only tell you what you want to hear

Genuine people will be honest about matters that are important to you even if there is a risk you might get offended. Fake people will either choose to tell you something you want to hear or make you feel bad with an ugly lie.

Genuine people celebrate your success, while fake people resent you for it

Genuine people rejoice when you accomplish something because they support you on your journey to success. Fake people, on the other hand, feel crushed when you achieve your goals. They envy you, they feel bitter about it, and they want to pull you back down to discredit your accomplishments.

Genuine people say it to your face; fakers talk behind your back

Genuine people will tell you what they think to your face, while fake people will wait until you walk away to say it. They will be your bestie when you are next to them and your enemy when you are not.
