5 Things I Love About Hypocrites

1. 1. Hypocrites have “taught” me to be more careful about trusting so easily.

   2. They have shown me that the world can be beautiful without them in my life.

   3. I am stronger because of their hypocritical self-righteous judgment.

   4. I love it that these people get offended by the truth.

   5. I have learned to appreciate and love the people around me who are truthful, straightforward honest, and never deceive me.

The cause of hypocrisy originally stems from insecurity.

Selfishness is a form of insecurity because an overly selfish person needs to take advantage of or withhold resources from others since they don’t believe they can live their best life being generous and honest.

That implies that they have less trust in their ability to live a comfortable life, meaning they are insecure about their skills.

According to this logic presented, hypocrisy really only originates from insecurity if the two main causes are insecurity and selfishness.

“People dislike hypocrites because they unfairly use condemnation to gain reputational benefits and appear virtuous at the expense of those who they are condemning –when these reputational benefits are in fact undeserved,”

Explains psychological scientist Jillian Jordan of Yale University, first author on the research.
