People's true colors

Post Reply New Topic

Some people are able to put on act to hide their true colors. Some people can maintain their acts for awhile and some people can't pull it off for long because other people end up seeing through them pretty quickly.

I have encountered these types of people in my life. There was one family that volunteered at my church's thrift shop and they would steal stuff from the thrift shop to sell on the internet. This family also took money from my sister's church. The Mom was the treasurer for that church and she stole money while the pastor was out of town.This family had people fooled for awhile. Some people still refuse to see them for the nasty scam artists that they are. I had a coworker that was very full of herself. She basically had the principal fooled into thinking she was a wonderful employee even though she sucked. Eventually the principal got a taste of her true colors and opened her eyes. Coworkers from other parts of the school saw through this girl pretty fast. This girl apparently failed to realize that everybody is watching your performance whether it is the boss or other coworkers.

Have you all experienced these types of people?

Have I experienced two-faced people? All of the freaking time!

They usually trip themselves up. Unfortunately, they also seem to have the habit of "plea-bargaining" their sentences into the minimum possible, so that they can move on to the next set of victims (usually in another location) and repeat the process.

Two faced people do move on and find new people to scam. That was the case with that family. They ran out of people to scam in my town so they are moving somewhere else. I'm glad because I'm over their crap.

True colors....various shades of brown. Yup

Welcome to NT's!

Am quite good at seeing through the masks but some are almost Hollywood-class actors.

Online it's even worse, you can't see their face, you can be talking to a 12 year old boy acting like a 25 year old female.

I have my suspicions about you now topic-starter *squints eyes*

When a person can't keep their stories straight.....

When a person pays no attention to the story...

I have a hard time with people's true colors because I often see the nice side of them and think they are people who I can trust and maybe even be friends with.

I had a roommate like this who was nice when she was first showing my mom and I the living arrangements so I thought she would be a nice roommate and she was nice for the first few days. One week after moving in, I began to notice that she was emotionally abusive and had a low tolerance for things I did. She got mad at every little thing too. She has also lied to my mom and me about several things as well.

1. She lied when we first met her by saying that she had lived in the rental house for four years and then later said she had only moved in two months before me
2. She lied about her cell phone number is the house number and then got mad at me later for giving that number out while also yelling at my mom over the phone for calling her cell looking for me.
3.She was frustrated because I was not the right fit for her or the other roommate because:
A. She was a neat freak
B. They were older than I was
C. She knew I was different
D. She could not bring alcohol into the house because I was still under 21

So she lied to me about having a birthday party that was going to be going on all weekend and that she was going to have friends sleeping on all the couches and that I was not invited because I was under 21. "Just make sure you stay out."

She woman picked on me about everything and always yelled at me to the point that I cried

Can't say I have. At least I don't recall any people I've dealt with in the past that were two-faced.

Guess I've been lucky.

Yes, I've had alot of experiences with people like this. Alot of them were/are narcissists, and narcissism has been a special interest of mine, for a couple of years, now, and I hope I've learned enough to spot 'em, sooner, because they can be very dangerous (ie, cause alot of trouble, for ya).

I'm currently dealing with a couple of them at work, and they can really getcha into trouble (I've been lucky, so far), unless you can, sorta, outsmart them----I say "sorta" cuz you can never win when dealing with a narcissist (at least, not head-on), but, maybe, you can sorta sidestep 'em, and/or cut 'em off at the pass, so-to-speak.
