What defines a "true" person?

~~TheUsedToolguy~~ · 03-15-2007, 01:17 PM

I believe a true person is someone who is honest, and is themselves. I.E. they don't have to put on a facade to get people to like them, because they don't care if people like them or not. People who desperately want the approval of others are people who don't like themselves. Otherwise, why would they need other's approval so much? So, a true person, is someone who is honest with others, and most importantly honest with themselves. To get back to the point of this thread, it doesn't matter if you are true or not. I would hope everyone would be, but you have plenty of time.

Really? What the hell did it mean then?

I've never seen the word 'fake' justified as a way to describe anybody. In my opinion, the only way somebody could say with confidence that there are fake people in the world would be if that person themselves fitted their own definition of fake.

In my opinion, anybody who calls other people 'fake' regularly should be punched in the face, firmly but fairly, each time they do so. It would be an educational measure.

Someone who is true to themselves at the expensive of image.
At least that's my take on it.

But thats YOUR definition..mine may be different..and the next guys may be different from mine..so in all reality there is no defining fake...unless your talking about tits.

I know, it stinks of somebody thinking that they are the moral guardian of the world and that people who express themselves in different ways must not be experiencing 'real emotions' because those emotions come out in a slightly different way.
