The psychology of hypocrisy -Why people become hypocrite -Who are hypocrite -How to stop being hypocrite -How to deal with hypocrisy

In its simplest form hypocrisy can be defined as the phenomena - when I do it - it is the greatest smartest feat ever accomplished by anyone but when you do it - it is cunning, shameful, abhorring and disgusting.

Each one of us become hypocrite in certain situations and with some people.

Some of the natural hypocrites are - social-preacher, religious-preacher, moral-preacher etc. - who have solutions and suggestions for everyone - but never follows what they preach themselves.

India has the largest population of hypocrites in the world.

You will invariably come across hypocrites [without even trying to find one] - a critics, a Baba/Guru, Indian TV News Anchors, Politicians, Bureaucrats, Moral-police person, vigilante and social-judge etc. - who yap continuously in high decibels -to make you feel guilty, wrong, worthless.

You will also find people who suggest what you should eat, dress, live, talk, marry etc. - I have a person who is hardcore RWinger - who tells me what to read and why what I am reading is wrong.

Why we become hypocrite is because most of us expect a lot on the moral-compass from others - but find it difficult to live upto our own standards/ expectations from others.

You may sincerely believe in certain values yourself - and when find it impossible to live them - then you blame others or make excuses when questioned - to deflect negative-attention.

Hypocrisy is the state where you have inconsistent thoughts and contradictory beliefs along with having double or triple standards.

Many of us might display the double standards - when it comes to - how we perceive ourselves as well as judge our loved ones - in a specific situation - vs. others.

Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person's behavior and beliefs do not complement each other - when this happens people may choose to operate from their unhealthy defense mechanism like - avoidance, projection, blaming-others, making-excuses and or resorting to hypocrisy.

Hypocrites claims having high moral standards - which does not get reflected in their behaviors - it is a pretense of morality and then trying to prove that others don't have them.

When we are being a hypocrite - we accuse others of doing something immoral although the same immoral behaviors we are displaying ourselves.

Hypocrites typically have an inflated sense of ego and complete lack of empathy as well as inability to be humble.

Hypocrisy is a form of projection people use to avoid taking personal responsibility and to gain control over a situation without admitting any of their lacuna and blunders

Genesis or root-cause of hypocrisy -what causes hypocrisy - your deep rooted emotional-insecurities, shame, guilt, regret etc. - which triggers - fear, low self-(worth/pride/esteem/ confidence/acceptance etc.).

Hypocrisy makes the hypocrite feel morally superior to others - say by gossiping or by attacking others - because they might be deeply concerned about their own performance, own capabilities as well as their inadequacies.

Hypocrites put a mask to be a person who they are not and use all the tools like - avoidance, projection, blaming-others, making-excuses, creating lies, abusing, violence, using force to suppress others - especially when they sense that they might be attacked on their major blunders - or are going to be judged.

Hypocrites never forget and forgive anyone - even if it is a perceived hurt.

But when it comes to them - they can never be wrong - and hence never admit being one.

Hypocritical behavior creates issues of untrustworthiness, entitlement, lack of empathy, deep-rooted insecurity and lack of self-awareness in your all-important relationships - in the unhealthiest cases these people become Narcissistic GasLghting Toxic Partner.
