Genuine People....

So that is why I believe that being genuine is about coping skills and emotional control.

A geniune person is a "real" person. Someone who doesn't pretend to be something else.

So unfortunately even a jackass can be a genuine person because they are acting as themselves and not pretending to be someone else.

And you may think that, but you would be wrong because being genuine has nothing to do with ones coping skills or emotional control. It has to do whether or not they are being their true self or just pretending to be something they are not.

You obviously have your terms mixed up with something else. I can see your trying to prove something but it's not going to be whether a person is genuine because of their emotional controle.

By being mean and or manipulative they are hurting those around them to prevent us from knowing who they are.. because they are secretly ashamed or scared.

I think cowardice is not even trying.. so I respectfully disagree with you Anita

But your right. They are being them self.. but as I specified I believe that all people are genuine and its SHOWING your genuine that makes you really genuine.

So were both right in our own ways. You offer a good argument

Well not being yourself is an emotional thing

Its why we do anything

If we didn't have emotions we would sit on the couch all day
