I can not stand fake people and/or attention seeking fake types of people.

I can tell when I first meet someone if they're like that and I just distance myself from them

I understand. It's hard being surrounded by them, everyone so desperatly wants their voices to be heard that you get a broadcast of noise thrown at you, its not pleasent, and your meant to eat that up and be like 'yeah mmmhmmm' Yours right, its best to avoid and leave them to their own devices.

Yes, I can. It's just a gut feeling. I can see it in someone's face if they plan to be fake with me or if they already are or if they have been. We don't have to exchange a word.

yeah totally... i'm not sure how i can tell either, hmm. it is definitely off putting though. i mostly don't bother with fake people unless i'm stuck with them in a one-on-one situation.

Its really obvious if someone is being fake. What is harder to discern is whether or not they know they are being fake. If they know it, I don't usually enjoy talking to them. But if they don't, I am inclined to try to get them to realize they aren't being true to themselves

Yes I do have force sensing ability! You may call it spidy sense too!

^^

o.o it's strange like a gut feeling......i just know. :p mostly everyone here seems to be the same when it comes to sensing this. It's cool like a superpower! :)

Yes, I can't stand it, and it's why I value sincerity, honesty, and people who are real with me so much.

I would not claim to know people that well so quickly. I definitely have my suspicions now and then, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, anyway, until they've proven themselves one way or the other. (And sometimes after...)

Yeah, I get screwed over a lot.

I don't know how frequently my suspicions turn out to be true, overall. I guess I don't pay enough attention.

[Roze]

Usually I can tell. Usually...fake people all act the same to me. Pisses me off. Anyway, I remember someone else on these forums (I think it was Acey) who referred to it as a 'BS radar' or something like that. Either way, fakers really aren't going to get much out of me. I'll be just as fake as they are if I can't leave, and they can think that I'm being fooled...hah, they couldn't be any further from the truth. I really don't like wasting my time with them.

Can someone give an example of a person being fake?

I can't really say I have a strong reaction. Do you guys mean if someone is complimenting you? Or if you're just meeting them and they're acting overly suave or cheerful? I approach people fairly similarly and have a hard time considering people my friends unless they are in my inner circle (this can take years). So if someone is being pleasant in a fake way I don't really notice it. Statistically, I am probably not going to end up being friends with them so I don't really care.
