How can you tell when someone isn't being genuine?

How can you tell when someone isn't being genuine? I've had this struggle my whole life and am really proud of my self when I notice someone acting nice and being fake. Can you relate? Do you have a method of distinguishing the difference?

Parents
  • I feel this was difficult for me when I was younger.  I got let down  lied to often. Stolen from e.t.c

    We can't be 100% sure about anyone.  There are some people who can keep up a fake persona for a length of time.

     Plus we are different with different people.  The way you talk to your parent is not the way you are with your siblings or at work.

    You don't really know someone until your sick or in trouble.  Their response tells you if they are friend material.

    Other then that context.  I have got use to not trusting people.  It's easier this way.

    Would have liked to find straight talking people who have respect for themselves & others.

    I can't stand people who manipulate Others.  When I was making an effort to be social.  I would observe others & talk to those who treated others with respect.  

    I feel how people treat Children elderly the vulnerable is an indicator of if they have some humanity about them.

     Those who can show respect for those who's views/morals lifestyle-differ to theirs.

    How they relate to their family ?  Feel a bit odd writing that as not that close to mine.

    I have been told I'm very simplistic in my views.  Because I see no need to mislead or deliberately hurt someone.  

    Don't be to open as some will see this as vulnerability.
