17Insincere Traits From People Who

Claim To Be Sincere

1

1People who are there for all the FREE stuff,

yet never return the favor - they want to, they're going to… someday

2

2Someone who keeps canceling last minute with the wildest excuses i.e. the car blew

up, the dog has a fever, an aunt from India just arrived

3

3The guy who says he is going to do you a big favor

and then proceeds to remind you on occasion that he doesn't have to do it but he wants to

4

4The person who needs you to do something for them for FREE

and they'll pay you when their

ship comes in or they win the

lottery

5

5The guy who has a product the world can't live without

and you'll get paid back when the big money

comes in

6

6They seem sincere, you go out on a limb

and do the favor understanding that

they have investors who are dropping a wad of cash - you wait for what seems forever - it never comes

7

7People who say 'To tell you the truth' repeatedly as if they're lying the rest of the time and now they

need to point out that this time it’s

the real truth

8

“Sincerity is the fulfillment of our own nature, and to arrive at it we

need only follow our own true Self.Sincerity is the beginning and

end of existence; without it, nothing can endure.

Therefore the mature person values sincerity above all things.”

― Tzu-ssu

9

8Those who have an excuse for everything.

It's never their fault - the rest of the world keeps getting in their way

10

9The guy who wants to do great

things with you when

you call him,

but don't count on him calling you

11

10People who always let your calls go

to voicemail,

they're always too busy but they expect you to answer their calls

12

11The guy or gal who delivers their bad news in a text.

They don't want to call you because they can't live up to the truth

13

12Those people who rely strictly on email to

communicate with you.

They don't want eye to eye contact, they prefer

not to be exposed

14

13People who seem uncomfortable with

looking into your eyes,

they fidget with anything in sight to avoid a direct and truthful conversation

15

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

― John F. Kennedy

16

14People who screw up and don't apologize.

They know you know, but they

don't want to fess up!

They see it as a weakness, not a strength

17

15Someone that is too

busy is someone

who is not interested. We all make time for

the things that are important to us

18

16The lady who cancels a

meeting, and another, and

another, always with good excuses -

is probably not worth your time

anyway

19

17The person who calls you only when they need something.

They start by catching up as if they really care and then…. boom

20

“Sincerity - if you can fake that, you've got it made.”

― George Burns

“Don't claim you're sincere, just be it.”

― Eva Heller

“Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.”

― Charles Spurgeon

Brink Thinking is centered around making the irrational rational. Many of the best inventions and ideas that have impacted society today seemed irrational until a Brink Thinker thought beyond the absurd. Imagination

helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world.

Society benefits when imagination and absurdity collide.
