erratiowhat is fakeness?
In my books, fakeness is pretending to enjoy the company of people you would otherwise rather not talk to, and making conversation. And now I'm being told, no that isn't really fake, that's just being polite. Fakeness is when you go out of your way to talk to someone to tell them lies about how good they are.
So from this I conclude that my standards of fakeness include most ppl's definition of polite. No wonder I have trouble with this whole socialising thing so often :\
