Number 16: They are people pleasers.
They will agree with you on a subject and then a little while later, when someone else expresses an opposing view, they will agree with that person as well. They think that agreeing with everyone will make them more likable. They can’t stand the idea of being rejected, so they will do anything they can to get approval from the people around them.
Number 15: They need attention.
They will do anything to be noticed. They don’t care how other people feel – it’s all about them. They are completely focused on themselves and like to be the center of attention. If they feel that they’re not getting enough attention, they will figure out a way to stand out and be seen. They like to show off. If there’s a conversation going on, they have to take over and be at the center of it.
Number 14: They’re only around when they feel like it.
There’s that one guy who never, ever calls you – except when he needs something from you. A year might go by without any communication. He never just checks in or says hello. If you send him a message, he will probably ignore it. But once he needs something from you again, you’ll get another call. When you need help, don’t even bother calling him. He’s not going to show up.
Number 13: They need to be liked.
They want everybody to like them. They’re always telling jokes, teasing others, trying to make everyone laugh all the time. Sometimes, they might express opinions or views that aren’t theirs, if they believe that that will make them more likable. They might behave in a number of ways that are totally against their character, just to be liked.
A genuine person doesn’t care so much about whether other people like them or not – they know that you can’t be friends with the whole world. There will always be people who don’t like you, and that’s okay. But the fake nice person doesn’t accept that and will keep trying to win everybody over.
