Hypocrites are defined as people who believe they have supreme and exclusive rights to disrespect, take advantage of, and wrong others without having to face any consequences. They are the biggest enemies of peace, respect, love, and prosperity. They place themselves on a pedestal as if they are the center of the universe.

Hypocrites spend their lives cheating, betraying, conning, and deceiving. But despite this disgusting pattern of behavior, they still feel entitled to point out (or invent) the most minor mistakes in others—and they’ll point them out repeatedly, to negate & excuse all of their horrible actions.

As a result, you spend more and more time trying to prove your ethics to the most unethical person on the planet. You end up feeling guilty for being five minutes late to a date (months ago), while they gleefully cheat on you with another man or woman.

If the moral scales in your life seem to be skewed beyond all recognition, you likely encountered a pathological hypocrite—or a psychopath.

Your partner insists on honesty between the two of you when it comes to finances, but then you hear from a third party about an expensive night on the town in which your partner picked up the entire tab.

If You are in a relation, think twice.

Hypocrites are just dominating and they want everything is to be done according to them, and they have a habit of criticizing others fie their faults and never saw themselves.

They will tell you this is not right. In starting you will try to mend the thing in a good way but again that hypocrite will find more and more faults in them, at the end your all the efforts will go in vain.

Slow and steady your confidence level will decrease, and that other person will make you feel worst. So if you are in a relationship and the person is a big hypocrite, then you have to think twice about your future with him.

How to Spot a Hypocrite

There are many ways that hypocrisy rears its ugly head. Here are 7 ways to spot a hypocrite. Hypocrites:

1.Say one thing but do another.

2.attempting to punish someone for “pointing out” any wrongdoing.

3.Give advice but fail to follow their own guidance.

4.Penalize some folks for wrongdoings but look the other way for others.

5.Lecture people about morality but cover up for their friends.

6.Judge others but call people intolerant when they’re personally judged.

7.Act one way when folks are looking; the opposite when they’re not.

Hypocrisy is an addiction

Hypocrisy is an addiction. You dupe people once and think you can get away with it again. But although you may think that you’re fooling the world, you’re only kidding yourself.

Be true to yourself

Be the real you. Listen to your conscience. Form your own opinions. And live your life with honor. One of the best rewards for achieving success is knowing that you earned your achievements through hard work, commitment, and integrity.

If you want your relationship to work on, learn to tolerate your significant other’s shortcomings; that includes hypocrisy.

I especially notice that many people don’t see their own shortcomings. So, you can’t judge them — for something they don’t know or quite understand about themselves. Right?

And what you are doing isn’t working well so far, so you come to read this article

Each relationship is unique, but what I would think is to wait till she or he is in a really good mood. Then when they least expect it. You start. Offer a fair and balanced question.

“Honey, I notice you ask me to use less electricity (my nite light for journaling) but then we (meaning her) have the fans and the air conditioners going all day.”

Now, take a breath. You just laid a ball in the court. No fighting, no judging, and no bickering. Just be silent and see what she or he has to say.

“What?? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know. I just thought it was weird.”

It’s a non-confrontational question. And you come back with non-confrontational answers if asked.

“Dear, you told me not to spend money on shopping for food, and so then we ran out of stuff. We are out of eggs, cream, etc. I have money to buy them.”

Silence… Wait…

Non-accusing, non-judgment, just fair questions. What you are doing is giving them a chance to see if they might see the other point of view — your point of view.

If that doesn’t work, consider counseling or help from a neutral mediator. But it may work out for you.
