Disingenuous artifice

 

Sometimes I am shocked by how someone really annoys me.

I want to be kind, understanding and loving, but there are actions that simply go against the grain of who I am.

Being obsequious is one of those things. I find people who bend over backwards are often thinking more of how they look and feel than what they are actually doing. It is pride not love that pushes them to go overboard helping people.

People who act kind and caring but are really passive-aggressive and afraid to be honest are some of the most vicious people I've ever known. They set people up for failure again and again.

And last but not least are people pleasers, because they will do absolutely anything to make the person they are with happy in a moment even if it violates all the other people they know.

I try to ignore these things, but they are like big bonging bells announcing trouble is on the way.
