Pukalisil once said: “A friend in disguise is worse than a vicious enemy.”

People are born pretenders and will not easily show their truest side. Instead, they will put on a hypocritical mask to show others.

Sometimes, behind the truth are lies, and behind the lies are still lies, which can never be understood or guessed.

The more you experience the world, the more you understand that people’s hearts are unpredictable. The more you treat people sincerely, the easier it is to be deceived and hurt by hypocrisy.

As the saying goes: “It is easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to defend against a concealed one.

The social world of adults is full of intrigues and intrigues. You must be vigilant to guard against them.

The more hypocritical a person is, the more likely they are to say these three sentences. You must keep your distance after encountering them.

01. “I told you a long time ago”

In real life, there must be people like this around you:

Before something happens, they always hide behind others and look absent-minded when asked for their opinions.

When things don’t go well, they take the opportunity to show off their intelligence and say that they “knew this would happen.”

It was clear that he had kept silent before and did nothing, but after his wrong answer was verified, he did some despicable acts that added insult to injury.

This typical hindsight behavior of “being like a pig beforehand and being wise after the fact” perfectly explains what “seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages” means.

When there is a need to take risks, they are afraid to avoid it, but when it is profitable, they will reveal their true colors.

As Tagore said: “Hypocritical people are more terrifying than the devil.”

Working with this kind of person, once you have a conflict with his interests, he will sell you out without hesitation to save himself.

No one in this world ever makes mistakes, but hypocritical people will always shirk responsibility and blame others for all their mistakes.

Not only will they not reflect on their problems, but they will become jealous because of the excellence of others, deliberately exalting themselves and belittling others.

When you interact with such people, you can’t count on their help at all when you are in crisis. At most, you can only add “I told you so” afterward.

Such innocuous remarks remind them that their so-called concern is just disguised kindness.

Only those friends who do not shy away from danger are worthy of giving up their true feelings and spending a lifetime to make deep friendships.

02. “You are absolutely right.”

“Really bad people are not scary, but fake good people are scary.”

Some bad people are so “honest” and never hide their cruelty, so we will naturally avoid them.

The bad thing about some people is that they hide their secrets in their smiles and say sweet words in front of others, but behind the scenes, they always mean what they say.

At first glance, they look harmless, and they are approachable to everyone they get along with. No matter what you say, they are full of praise.

As everyone knows, all recognition is just lip service, and all praise is just hypocrisy, just a delaying tactic for profit.

After all, “Thousands of people wear a lot of clothes, but flattery never wears off.” After all, everyone has soft ears, and no one doesn’t like to hear good words.

After all, everyone has soft ears, and no one doesn’t like to hear good words.

When you let down your guard and are willing to trust the other party, they will take advantage of it.

“Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease; honest advice is bad for the ears and good for the deeds.”

Sometimes, people who are always flattering often have evil intentions, but people who are willing to point out their problems are the ones who treat them sincerely.

03. “money is not a problem”

No matter what kind of relationship it is, the thing you are most afraid of encountering is money. Once the two meet, it will inevitably cause a series of problems.

But what is frustrating is that it is difficult to draw a clear line between love and profit. Even if you try your best to avoid this contradiction, you will always be entangled by it.

Some people are always able to switch between the two when getting along with others skillfully, and they fall in love when they are seeking profit, showing a deep and meaningful appearance.

They say “money is not a problem”, as if they have a deep friendship with each other, but they don’t care about other people’s gains and losses at all, and they are using their reputation to deceive others.

When they ask for something from others, they always say “Nothing short of money”. Their righteousness is present and they are full of pride, and they swear to make promises.

But when it came time to fulfill their promise, they began to evade their words again, talking about his left and right, and were no longer as unruly and unruly as before.

“Money is a good thing. It can see through people’s hearts and bring them closer to each other. Everyone is real in front of money.”

On the internet, someone once complained about his classmates:

Every time he borrowed money, his classmate always set a date and promised to return it as scheduled.

But when the time came, he began to disappear and deliberately cut off contact with other people to avoid paying back the money.

After others went through all the trouble to find him, he still looked plausibly, complaining that they were “too stingy” and “not friends enough.”

“Sincerity is the face of the soul, hypocrisy is a mask.”

The more you deliberately avoid talking to people about money, the more it shows your inner hypocrisy.

A person who only talks about friendship and does not talk about interests when interacting with others does not deserve to be treated sincerely by others.

Polish writer Sienkiewicz once said: “Better an open enemy than a false ally.”

In our lives, we will meet all kinds of people, and we will inevitably meet a few such hypocrites.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others. No matter who you get along with, you must listen to their words and observe their actions.

Once the other person always says these three sentences, be sure to see their true colors and stay away as soon as possible.

To make friends, you don’t necessarily have to be in harmony with each other, but you must at least be able to get along honestly and talk to each other.

For the rest of my life, I hope you and I will keep our eyes open, choose good friends, keep company with good friends, and meet better selves.
