I’ve said this before, but being a genuinely kind and authentic person who expresses your vulnerabilities and/or doesn’t follow certain unspoken “social hierarchy” rules will put a major target on your back by those who see those traits as “performative” or even manipulative/deceitful.
People who consistently view others that way are telling on themselves. How we perceive the world (including other people) mirrors the conditions of our own inner world.
A healthy person does not interpret basic consideration as some kind of control tactic. A grounded person does not consistently assume the worst of others.
Doing so will either 1. eventually create a self-fulfilling prophecy, or, 2. result in the cognitive distortion of “confirmation bias,” where the other person cannot “win” no matter what they do because you have already decided their intentions or motivations for them.

Dakota Johnson failed an audition because she was deemed "cocky" and full of herself for shaking hands with everyone in the room. “I had an audition once, and it was a callback, and I went into the room, and I shook everyone’s hand and introduced myself. Then I did the scene, and I left. The feedback I got was that because I had gone and introduced myself and shook everyone’s hand is that I was pompous. That I was schmoozing, and I was full of myself, and I was like: ‘What?’ I didn’t get the job because they said that I was being cocky, but I just had manners… It was pretty crazy.” (via Hits Radio) variety.com/2026/film/news…
