Which kind of persona are you, really?

Issue date: 2/21/08 Section: Opinion
In my attempt to better understand people and why they do what they do, I try and get to know as many people as I possibly can. This does not mean that I am best friends with them and would give them the shirt off my back, but I just get to know people and lend an ear or a shoulder or a dollar if need be. Just being friendly, I guess.
In this little endeavor, I have found that there are at least three different kinds of people, fake people, real people, and sheeple.
Fake people are just that, fake. These people will tell you one thing and either do, believe or say the exact opposite. These people will be your friend to your face and then once you leave they will forget your friendship and go for the next best thing. They may seem like the best friends in the world, but behind closed doors and after the masks have come off, they are completely different people.
This is the group of people that have gotten so good at lying that it comes second nature. These people must have the best memories, having to remember which lies they've told to which people.
These are the people that I have tried my best to associate with the least. These people run the largest risk of never having a group of three or four best friends and only having lots of acquaintances that cant count on them.
Real people are absolutely my favorite. This group of people has come to the realization that there isn't enough time I their schedules to have to keep up with remembering strings of lies.
These people make the best friends. These are the people who would stop what they are doing to come and help you or try and find you help or tell you that they cannot help instead of saying they're on their way and not showing.
This group of people will tell you how it is and not what you want to hear. These are those people who will shoot you straight no matter what. Their motto being, "This is me, this is what you get, no more no less." The risk run in being a part of this collection of people is that not everyone will like you.
