How To Identify Disingenuous People
Have you ever pretended to know less about something than you actually did
? If you are like most people, at some point in your life, you have hidden certain knowledge you had because to reveal what you knew would make someone else upset. A certain amount of discretion in this area is acceptable, even expected. However, there are people in the world who adopt a personal motto of avoiding full disclosure. These are disingenuous people.
No one likes disingenuous people. These are the people who are obviously insincere, who lack the ability to speak candidly. When you are in the company of disingenuous people you often feel uncomfortable about speaking your mind because one of the most common reasons people are disingenuous is gossip.
A gossip likes to collect interesting, possibly scandalous information about others. He or she then likes to leak this information, all the while, acting as if he or she has no idea why it could be bad to slander that person. In modern and popular culture, this behavior is common. Rap, hip hop, and R&B artists even make a living arguing about who is the most disingenuous artist in the industry. For years, rappers have collected material by calling other rappers fake. A famous feud between Jay-Z and Nas ushered in the new century when, the two artists recorded dis-tracks calling each other fakers and liars.
Time would exhaust itself citing the most prevalent fuel for discussions of disingenuous people: politicians. Politics is saturated with double-speak. During the 2012 presidential election, the democratic and republican parties spent billions of dollars posting adds about who was lying about what and how it would destroy the American peoples lives to listen to the lies.
In most cases, you can tell when youre in the company of disingenuous people, but if youre ever unsure, watch for these signs and youll have a better idea:
- Does the person seem to be trying too hard? Trying to please you, make you happy or get your attention? These people have ulterior motives and are probably hiding what they know about you in order to get what they want from you. Think, salespeople.
- Have you caught the person in a lie? Liars are notoriously disingenuous people. They hide the truth because they perceive gain in its absence.
- Do they make good eye contact? Its strange how telling simple eye contact is. If a person wont look you in the eye, theyre hiding something: an emotion, an action, or a piece of information. Be wary of those who dont make eye contact.
- Trust your intuition. If you feel a person is swindling you or withholding important information, protect yourself.
Disingenuous people, if allowed to thrive in your environment will quickly bog you down. Be careful to know your friends and peers, and stay away from liars. Always give a person one, or if youre inclined, two tries to be decent, but if they lie habitually, let them go, for your own good.
