Everyone knows the person who is nice to your face but as soon as you’re not looking they are talking behind your back. Don’t be that person. No one likes that person. Be real.
Talking Points:
- Everyone knows the person who is nice to your face but as soon as you’re not looking they are talking behind your back. Don’t be that person. No one likes that person. Be real.
- It’s a lot easier to simply say what people want to hear, or do whatever pleases the crowd, but doing those things does nothing for you except temporarily impress those around you. You should value your personal character more than you value others’ opinions of you.
- It’s pretty easy to spot someone who is being real. They are comfortable with who they are. Their self-confidence doesn’t waiver or depend on the validation of others around them. They genuinely care about others; they don’t simply put on an act.

- Would you consider yourself someone who is “real” all the time? Would others consider you as a “real” person? Why or why not?
- Think of one person in your life that you would consider “real.” Now think of one person in your life you would consider “fake.” Which of these people are you more likely to hang around? Why?
- Think about your friend group. Do your friends know the real you? Do you know the real them? Why would it be important to surround yourself with genuine and authentic people?
