The Sugar Coaters
Have you ever met people who talk very sweet, but you can feel they don’t mean it? They usually speak in a very low pitch and soft tone while avoiding all arguments. These people are just like a typical Netflix series. You love the first one or two episodes, then you realize it is bullshit. On the first meeting, you might think that the other person is a soft-spoken and well-mannered human being, but after meeting them a few times, you begin to get exhausted by their artificial sweetness.
But isn’t being sweet a good thing? With so much hate and toxicity around, the world desperately needs more sweetness; so am I being cynical to dislike these human mines of sugar? The natural sweetness can never be a problem, and we all love it. Only when I feel that person is faking it do I get irritated. There’s already so much fakeness and pretense on social media; I don’t want to talk to fake f*cks in real life.
The problem with such people is that you cannot trust them with anything since they are faking their own personalities. They are like donuts: sweet on the outside, empty on the inside. However, you have to give it to them in the area of persistence and consistency. Perpetual pretense must be difficult. Imagine marrying such a person; your whole life will be an act, but you might unleash your inner Shakespeare.
How do you figure out whether the person is genuinely sweet or just a Sugaroo? Perhaps You can judge by observing the person’s actions over time, and you can look for their bitching quotient. While talking, start bitching about a familiar acquaintance and listen to what the other guy says. Check whether their words align with the soft tone of his voice.
Sugar brings sweetness and has a good taste, but too much of it causes diabetes, which doesn’t leave much to taste, so it’s best to handle such Sugar Shooters with a pinch of salt.
