>even when it is obvious that the person is faking it (eg. social etiquette), people seem to be accepting of it in general. I have found in my career to hold off judgment of "fake sincerity" for two reasons: A. If the person cares enough to fake it, that's at least a step in the right direction. B. Over the course of time if the other person continues to radiate "fake sincerity" and no other negative traits, I just assume that I'm too cynical and my judgement of real vs fake sincerity is flawed. apply feedback and adjust as necessary.
