Fake people should get real

by Kasey Putman, staff writer

I have come to realize that confiding in a person is something that many people take for granted.

With that comes a problem,  a sickness obtained that a doctor can’t fix, called being two-faced.

I’m not talking about a Siamese twin, but a person who acts differently depending on who they are with. Never knowing which person you are going to encounter on a day-to-day basis makes trusting this person very difficult.

You see, when a person is two-faced, it is as if he or she  has multiple personalities. The only difference is that when a person has multiple personalities, it is a mental disorder that can be helped by a prescribed drug. It also is sometimes curable.  

But being two-faced is much worse. This is a way for a person to be “liked” by several different cliques at once.

This poses, yet again, another problem. Sooner or later that person forgets who they were with. This is not a good combination, because the talk among different cliques is now intertwined.

Unfortunately, things become much worse, because now everyone knows this person can’t be trusted, and now he or she has to find new friends.

This is a never-ending cycle between many social groups.

So I wonder how someone would want to accumulate a reputation such as this. I think that it’s because he or she is a drama queen.

A person who possesses these qualities thinks he or she is putting up a front. But in all actuality, everyone sees through him or her.

To this person’s dismay, it takes a while to straighten out this mess he or she created.

But wait- he or she is a drama queen, so what better thing is there to do than create more drama?

He or she will continue to point the blame because he or she got caught.

So I advise you to run away from this type of person if you ever find yourself in this situation.

The truth is that a drama queen will try to make you feel guilty for what he or she did, because he or she is two-faced and has a guilty conscience.

The whole time you thought this person was your “friend,” he or she only appeared to be that that way.

I think the only logical solution to this problem is to stop being fake. If someone doesn’t like you for who you are, then he or she doesn’t deserve to be your friend.

But at least you are being real, and no one will get his or her feelings hurt.
