Hypocrisy, a false assumption of an appearance.
Truthfullness , being genuine inside or out, honest.

We have a lot of people who are like these.

What makes a person be hypocrite? or truthfull?
Is that person afraid of something or someone?
Is there something to hide for?

I want to know what you can say about this.

People have a tendancy to project more of what they want to be, rather than what they actually are, while their actions contradict what they put out. I don't know many people who are genuine inside and out. It is just how much we are willing to tolerate. A person can determine another persons level of hypocrisy, usually by taking note of how many times they tell you that "I'm the type of person..."
I can't count the amount of times my criticism of another person has been pointed out as a hypocrisy, simply because I didn't realize how closely my actions resemble the person I am criticizing. As I get older, I have learned to control my criticism. As I stated before, the more opinionated a person is, the less they likely they are to actually have any experience with the subject.
I think most hypocrisy is completely unintentional but the ones that are, I think it is more likely because they are hiding something.

We live in this life, facing , dealing with different people with different personalities. Some are hypocrites , some are dont.

When we apply for a job, we give out our Best Foot Forward to impress the recruiter; when we met someone the first time and seem to like them , we do things that is nice to them , doing what they like and would pleased them; Politician, elections is coming, they do their best to do good , to win votes, etc. BUt what happens after ?

Usually people changed. When we got hired for the job, do we still give that Best Foot Forward to ur Boss ?, when we got the attention of the person we like , do we still remain the person we portrayed before? politicians, are they still the same after they have been elected?

It makes me wonder, why just be true in the first place? I dont see any wrong in being honest . Of course we dont really give out 100% of ourselves to others, but why have a facade.

I have experience some people like these. They are nice to you , give all the kindness, but deep within them, they do something that we dont know, intentionally and in turn when caught , it deeply hurts, and feel betrayed.

In life, it's generally good advice to be as hypocritical as you possibly can. Be sure that everyone else is doing it, too.

Hypocrisy is a social need. Try to be truthful and see what happens.
