So often we find human beings with such bizarre behavior it is amazing they can actually function. They go around pretending to be something they are not, then backing out of their talk unable to walk that talk. We see them blame others for their self-induced problems and continue to spout the rhetoric and yet will show you by their actions that they live in complete hypocrisy. Surely you have met such a man or woman in you life experience. But how can you tell when they suffer from an Imposter Complex?

It is as if they half believe their own stories and BS and yet they know the truth and hide from their reality so afraid someone will find out they are full of it. They talk a good game, but fail miserably in performance. They want to be one with the team, but are afraid someone will discover they are weak minded and lack personal character. We all know these types and the facades they create for themselves and those around them.

But how can you tell when someone suffers from this Imposter Complex, suffer from schizophrenia or are in fact the 100% real deal? Generally it is not too hard really. How so you ask? Well a schizophrenic actually lives in his own fantasy and never realizes when he switches. A person with an imposter complex will know they are weak and worry about others finding out. They will often be depressed at times.

The person who is the real deal performs at a drop of a hat, never reneges on responsibility and does not waiver on their convicts. They always walk the walk. My question to you my friend is which are you? If you are the real deal, show me. If you are faking it, stop pretending and if you are a schizophrenic, please get some help will you?
