Phoney people (come to play)

simu

Do you know any phoney people? How are they phoney and how do you know? How do you react to them?

Yes. They act phoney. It is obvious. I don't react.

But how can you know that? You do not have access to any inner essence they might have (unless your powers are greater by a great magnitude than most AH users).

yes....

usually full of praise for you but you can see it in their eyes that it is insincere

I usually just pretend to believe them but refuse to take it on board

Yes.

well is it a crime to ask :rolleyes:

i know a few girls that totally lick up to you, and then you hear the very same person was talkin to so-and-so about you, really bugs me, but unless it's really phoney i tend ignore it, they're not worth it

dundalk cailin

imo its pretty easy to see when someone is sincere or phoney, their body language, and its in their eyes as ruggie said. also they can over emphasise the praise which emphasises the insincerity

lollers!

OT: So, it's all about false praise then, is it?

dundalk cailin

no but thats a major factor in twofacedness, phoneyness (?) they could also say one thing to you and say somthing completly different to someone else

Phoney people.. usually found in pubs or places where different people are more or less forced together. Usually come accross as just wanting attention without actually having anything decent to say / contribute for themselves. Will agree and seem interested in whatever the current topic of conversation is.. without having anything interesting to add.

That's your general 'phoney person' in my opinion. You also get the variety that has chosen a persona for themselves based on an outward apearence they wish to project. These people won't necessarily agree with you but probably won't be able to back up their own arguments either.

Basicly, just uninteresting and / or annoying people. I don't think I react any differently to 'phoney people' than I do to any other annoying person. Either try and get past the annoying elements and chat to them anyway, or ignore the hell out of them.

Yes I know a girl that has to be seen to be believed. Know her from college and due to that I have worked with her on a few things and the phoniness(?) of her. :eek:

Basically get information out of you, be all nice etc etc then use it to her advantage against you.. or find out how important a person is on a project..if important chat away to them and lick their arse or if its just another minon make excuses and never talk to that person again (i.e pretty much ignore the person)

Ah can't even explain it anymore... I will be pleasant to her when I meet her and chit chat to her but try not to be around her at all. It just gets annoying seeing how fake she is... and that a lot of the times, people fall for it big time. :rolleyes:
