How to Deal With Fake People
First of all, you need to understand that whenever you meet someone you do not like, you can avoid them. Or, if you already have someone who you consider as fake, you can limit your time with them.
Then, you should control yourself when you are faced with fake behavior. When the person has an annoying behavior, you should be careful not to “explode” every time you are with them. Except, when they insult, you can show them their place.
Moreover, you may try finding out what is the reason behind someone’s bad behavior. When you reveal what makes them act that way, it may be easier for you to deal with them.
Remember that you need to stop sharing your secrets with them. Since they are impatient to learn something about you in order to expose you, you need to be cautious. So, when you do not expose your deepest secrets, they may try to find other ways to get them.
Also, you can show them that you prefer and you are grateful to have genuine people in your life. You can tell them that having really good people in your life is what makes you happy. Maybe they will change their behavior.
In the end, if you have had a fake friend, and you feel bad when you revealed they are not what you thought, you can make some new friends. Keep in mind that having a fake friend does not mean that you will never find a real one. The world is big!
