I find it funny how people will lie on your name, have the nerve to smile in your face, and still be confused when you walk by them and are completely content with ignoring their entire existence.
In every chapter in your life, you will always encounter people who I like to call the âFake and the Fraudulentâ, sounds like a soap opera doesnât it? Well, these types of people tend to have all the characteristics of Scary Barry, Flakey Fiona, Lying Lucy, and Follow the Leader Frank. We have all met people like these infamous characters listed above, some of you may even be these said people, and if so, it is the good people of Real Recognize Real to stop these fraudulent fools.
Suspect One: Scary Barry is only one of my favorites of the bunch.
Scary Barry loves to talk about you behind your back, but when you confront and it is time to jump back, they are somehow donât have anything to say or âcanât recallâ.These types of people are never a threat because like Follow the Leader Frank, they typically only try to âruin youâ when everyone else in on the same bandwagon. The only issue is when people you thought you knew had your best intentions really donât have your back. When lies are spread and youâre especially on a smaller campus, things can get out of hand pretty quickly.
And thatâs where Lying Lucy comes into play.
Â
Lucy is probably your âbest friendâ, not on purpose, but by default. He or she is probably a friend of your closest friend that yâall are around often enough, so he or she knows your business too. Reasons why you have certain friends for certain thingsâŠLying Lucy will hear a lie about you, tell it to someone who only knows of you and next thing you know, you so-called did x, y, and z, and the campus hates you. But what makes it even more hilarious is that everyone runs with the lie and the people who called themselves your âfriendâ donât even come and see whatâs true or not.
This is the ideal moment when you really find out who your real friends are.
Now Flakey Fiona will definitely out his or herself, because all of a sudden, theyâre too busy for you hanging out with people who yâall have agreed on together, not to fool with. They donât get any type of energy from me…
So, beware good people and brethren to the high-class community of âReal recognize Real, the fake and fraudulent are on the prowl.Â
