My biggest struggle with people is that I'm always running into people who I can never trust.  Their emotions aren't genuine. They aren't sincere. They don't mean what they say. They say one thing but they don't really feel that way in their heart.  It causes me immense frustration because whatever I say to someone comes directly from my heart. So when I'm trying to help someone, I really mean it. I don't say it to impress.  How Will I know that someone is being genuine with me? That they really mean what they say and they are being authentic with their intent.  I'm tired and fed up constantly dealing with inauthentic people who present themselves as well meaning or well intentioned but later turn out to be phony.  This is the usual pattern with the men I date.  I'm bad at screening sincerity in people because I often take people at face value  What should I look for while screening people for authentic intent? What tools or strategies.  What are the green flags for detecting authenticity?  Please. I really really need help with this.
