Genuine People
Genuine people do not brag about themselves. They are usually humble and do not always talk about themselves or feel like they need to show off to the world.
Fake People
Fake people can be the peacocks of the group, usually showing off almost all the time, by either bragging about something they are or did to try, even for the smallest most insignificant things.
Humility and grace vs shameless boasting
5th Difference
Genuine People
Genuine people are usually straight-forward and express their honest opinions openly without any hidden agenda or incentive. Why they say is all there is to it.
Fake People
Fake people are two-faced and will show you one side, but the true one is shown to those they gossip with. They say a lot truths behind your back instead of saying it to your face.
To the face vs behind back
6th Difference
Genuine People
Genuine people are the types that always strive for the best and do whatever they can to live up to them and show for their promises.
Fake People
Fake people are all talk and usually make promises they can’t keep, constantly giving excuses for them and not living up to them unless it serves a personal motive or meets a hidden agenda.
Actions speak louder than words or words don’t need follow up
7th Difference
Genuine People
Genuine people admire, praise and get inspired by others and mean it when they do so because they know they are not perfect and have a lot they can learn from others.
Fake People
Fake people will always try to find something wrong with someone’s happiness, even to the extent of criticizing others, making them feel bad, so that it makes them feel better or even look great, very subtly.
Truth vs false praise
8th Difference
Genuine People
Genuine people are usually nice and helpful most of the time. They want to make sure everyone around them is alright and happy, with a genuine attention, without a silent motive.
Fake People
Fake people are only nice to someone if they are getting something out of it, or if it makes them look like a better person in everyone’s eyes. Any good they do, won’t be a secret but will be used to brag about.
Unconditional helper or hidden selfishness
