This post follows my earlier one on Fake News - Click to read: Part-1 and Part-2. But here, I go one step further. Because fake news doesn’t spread on its own. It takes fake people to create it, amplify it, and make it believable.
Fake news spreads fear and confusion. Fake people fuel conspiracy and chaos. Together, they wreck our sense of reality. Watch for these 12 signs to spot them early:
▶️Hypocrisy: Preaching truth, practising lies.
▶️Selfishness: It’s always about them.
▶️Pretense: Faking expertise to mask agendas.
▶️Inconsistency: Tailoring stories for every room.
▶️Love-bombing: Over-the-top affection to gain control.
▶️False roles: Playing victim or hero to shift blame.
▶️No accountability: Always someone else’s fault.
▶️Manipulative charm: Using charisma as camouflage.
▶️Lack of empathy: Profiting from others' pain.
▶️Digital deception: Fake profiles, real damage.
▶️Plausible deniability: Staying vague to avoid guilt.
▶️Eroding trust: Undermining faith in people / institutions.
From morphed photos to feel-good stories, deception wears a friendly face. Repeated enough, even fiction begins to feel like fact. Fake people thrive in such blurred spaces. Spotting a lie is easy, but spotting the liar is trickier. The fix? Stay curious. Verify before you share. And trust your gut.
