What Makes You a Hypocrite?

It would probably be telling others not to worry about the haters. I give out.. what I believe is very good advice because I know what to do and I know how to handle them but feeling their wrath is a completely different thing. There are times where it will sting so bad that you'll wanna cry but you've just gotta brush it off your shoulders as if it never really happened. It's all you can do, right?

The worst hypocrite in my life would be my mother. She'd tell me to do certain things and then do the exact opposite, which gets a bit annoying.

 

My life is hypocritical. Engaged so passionately in taking a stance against my own sexuality and those of others not heteronormative.
I guess for the bonus question: my previous self.

 

I'm very concerned about environmental damage and take a lot of steps to minimise my individual impact. But I love driving and I love my little car so so much. Trying to balance out a compromise between the two - I take the bus/walk inside the city, only drive if I can't get public transport outside the city or if I have to carry a whole lot of stuff.

 

I might smirk at someone who orders a supersize meal at a fast-food place and gets a diet coke, while eating a burger and large (regular) coke.

 

Me refusing to eat meat because I love animals while eating a salmon salad.

And me moaning about kids making a nuisance of themselves in the street remembering that I was just like them once.

 

Truth.

I'm too am an animal lover. I'm a card carrying member of the Audubon Society. I care about wet lands, invasive species, etc. Yet I'm perfectly fine with mute swans populating or area in the wild. They're an invasive species, not native to our area, and the state wants to "cull" the flock. Yes, they're aggressive and use space previously used by smaller waterfowl like teals. If we were destroying Asian carp or zebra mussels I'd have no problem. I'd lead the charge, but killing swans; never! Why? They're pretty, good parents, a joy to see on the inlets. A real environmentalist would have no problem with this.

I also eat lamb chops and quail. I wear a muskrat hat, because it's so damn cold here and it's so soft, which goes against my former principle only to wear fur that been raised, not trapped. I'm also a rat catcher and occasionally ride with a local hunt club, but in America we usually just drive the fox to ground rather than having it killed, but then they're not the varmint they are in the UK.

Then there's the whole issue of being a gentleman and being polite to people you can't tolerate instead of ripping them a new one. Or "never" having change to give to those who beg on the street. The list gets longer.

I think it's in man's nature to be hypocritical to some degree. I try not to be, but brutal honesty is not always the best way to handle thing. Sometimes the small deceit save feelings and friendships. Besides who am I to judge?

 

A lot of things.I probably couldn't name them all.
In general some things annoy me to no end if others do them but i fail to see how it annoys others when i do them.

 

I'm a very sensitive person and very attuned to other people's feelings as well as my own BUT I can be callous as fuck...so then I give off the vibe of being an arsehole.

 

Being a vegetarian but loving cheese and yogurt too much to give up dairy, which comes from the same farms as the meat.

 

have to agree with one of the other posters, mine is telling people not to worry what others think. sometimes it ends up being ALL I think about, and in the next breath im telling people not to worry, suppose its distracting from your own probs if your helping someone out. Dunno, always feels good to try & help people I guess, doesn't make sense though ahaha.

 

People are bringing up vegetarian issues and I'm the same way.

I'm really into pro-environment causes and environmentalism in general. I care a lot about plants, animals, and preserving the environment and resources.

And yet I love meat and don't have any intention to stop eating it. Meat not only often comes from badly treated animals, meat production is a huge drain on resources, more than most agriculture. I do try and buy organic and cruelty-free when possible, otherwise I don't put much thought into it. I can accept an animal being killed for me to eat, but could I ever kill one myself and eat it? Nope. If I had to kill it myself, I'd be a vegetarian.

So in that regard, I am definitely hypocritical.

I don't know about a hypocrite in my life; if there is one, I must be pretty oblivious to it.

 

I tell others to be themselves and I'm always hiding my true self

 

I Am a Book Thief:

It is true. EC's aspiring author and resident Shakespeare has pirated novels.

Wait a minute!! Listen! Hear me out!!!

When you dedicate half of your life to studies and another quarter to volunteer work, there is little time left to make more money than necessary. Any reader knows that books are extremely expense. An avid reader could easily spend in the thousands each year. I always buy physical copies of books that I love; however, constantly taking $20 risks every time I wanted to try something knew just wasn't practical for an ebook that I could find with the click of a button

Despite this, none of you will ever be allowed to pirate my books. I will hunt every one of you bastards down!

 

I love ketchup...but I hate tomatoes.

Okay, okay. In all seriousness, probably my worst is failing to apply myself. I used to be a health nut that was all about fitness and improving my physical self (losing maybe 40 pounds in under a year). I spiraled out one point to being what I hated about gym teachers. I try to promote "healthy living" while eating cheese fries, and got on the back of others about how "fat free is better" while I'm on the couch watching cartoons all day with a bag of chips by me.

It's so hard to shake, since I've been wanting to get back into fitness, but I'm still the same old lazy ass I've always been.

 

I never ever follow my own advice. People always come to me for advice but when the time comes, I never do what I tell others to do. Idk. :/ It's one of the things I dislike about me.

The biggest hypocrite I know? My mom. I learned from the best...

 

Im Bi but get really pissed off when I see things like gays specifically picking a bakery, or fertility clinic or any other establishment that is Christian run just to create an issue. Or when they want to boycott something like Chick-fil-lay because the corporation donated money to a political group that defended "family" rights.

Even though I don't agree with the practices of these places, its their right and I don't think its beneficial or brings a good view of the gay community to do this. and yes, I do think it is done on purpose.
