So many people call each other fake or a poser and I don't really understand it all. It seems like there is a thin line between nice and fake and each person has their own definition of it. For me, I don't think you're being fake if you are polite or kind or nice to a person you don't like. I think that they deserve common courtesy even though they may annoy you. It's not their fault that their personality isn't something you appreciate. Yes, people can piss you off. Yes, you may want to explode on them. But wouldn't it avoid a ton of drama if you were just polite instead?

I'm not saying that you should be best friends with your enemies. I think you are being fake when you become best friends or important to a person you don't like. I think it is being fake when you say you hate someone and then invite them over to your house. I think it's crazy to be really tight with someone and trade secrets and then turn around and stab them in the back by gossiping about them. There are some people that are so two faced that it makes me want to scream at them. I've been called fake for being decent to a person that people know I dislike. They were totally wrong though; it's not like I was spending crazy amounts of time with her and being all friendly. The line between nice and fake is very simple for me. If you don't like someone, you can still be nice and polite but choose not to spend anymore time than neccessary with them or you can be fake and kiss up to them or pretend to love them. It's easier to remember your manners than to remember that you are pretending to like someone.
