Insincerely, Humanity.

"Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins."

Whar is sincerity, ideally? Being 100% yourself. All the time. Something that...well, some of us aim for. But can any of us really say that we are sincere all of the time? Or that we don't ever lapse into insincerity? Doubtful. Insincerity, unfortunately, is the state that we slip into when we aren't comfortable. A teacher asks if you read the required material. Ever heard anyone say "Actually no, I was really tired and the material is long, tedious, and boring, so I facebook stalked my boyfriends ex-girlfriends mom instead". No. That being said...it's just human nature...right?
Sincerity is so rare these days. In relationships, in getting to know people, applying for jobs and colleges. My question is...why is it so hard to be sincere? What is it about ourselves that we see a problem with, that causes us to have to fabricate information about ourselves, about other people, about our interests and family life and feelings. About our styles. Our taste in music. Psychology proves that a person who knows the right answer to a survey question will be less likely to admit that answer if everyone else in the room gives a different answer. Why?
Insecurity, probably. Why can't you just come out and say "I really like you. And kind of want to date you." if its true? Or "You piss me off and your offending me" rather than sitting silently, pretending to be fine. The world would be a lot less complicated right?
I prefer to think of myself of an extraordinarily sincere person. Part of it comes from my stubborn  and my constant need to let my opinion be heard. Nevertheless, I do upon occasion, hear myself say something and then think "did I REALLY just say that? thats not me."
SO I challenge you, my four followers, and whoever else might stumble upon this... think about the answer to the next question somebody asks you.
