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?

    Then why don't they just ask what they want? It is such a waste of time to hem haw around asking about things you don't care about. I have a coworker who does this all the time, it's annoying because I KNOW she doesn't really want to know anything. What a stupid unwritten social rule. lol Small talk is the biggest waste of time.

    I totally agree. It means nothing most the time. A complete waste of talking really.
