SIGNS OF A BULLSHITTER

The 4 Signs You Might Be the Bullshit Person

Happy Friday! Let’s get straight to it. Do you know a bullshit person, or are you the bullshitter? Nobody thinks they're the problem. That's exactly the problem. Years ago, I was at dinner with a work friend. Good food, good laughs. Then I put my fork down and said quietly, "Do you actually know who you are anymore?" She laughed. I didn't.

I said she’d become someone I couldn't reach. Always performing. Always "fine." Always the version of herself that looked good in the room, knowing she is going through Hell at home. I drove home in silence. Because the scariest part wasn't what I said. It was that she didn't have an answer.

THERE WERE SIGNS

Bullshit people don't know they're bullshit people. It creeps in through small surrenders, the promise you meant to keep, the truth you swallowed, the slow drift away from yourself. Read these four signs honestly. If they hit close to home, that's not an accident.

SIGN #1

Sign 1: You Say Yes When You Mean No

If you commit to things you won't follow through on, you're being a bullshit person. People don't stop trusting you dramatically. They stop quietly, one broken promise at a time. If people have stopped being surprised when you cancel, they already know.

SIGN #2

Sign 2: Your Apologies Come With a "But"

If "I'm sorry" is always followed by a reason it wasn't really your fault, you're being a bullshit person. Real accountability is two words. My bad. Fix it. Move forward. Nothing after it. An apology with a "but" is just an argument in disguise. 

SIGN #3

Sign 3: You're Different Depending on the Room

If the version of you at work, at the party, and alone at midnight are three different people, you're being a bullshit person. That gap is exactly where your anxiety lives. You can't be truly known if you're always performing.

SIGN #4 

Sign 4: You Tell People What They Want to Hear

False hype isn't kindness. It's cowardice with a smile. The people worth keeping need your honesty, not your validation. Telling someone what they want to hear is just a quieter kind of betrayal.

THE RESULTS
