Welcome to the club. I also hate this.
Human interactions are very complex and there is always a double participation, the others' and yours.
I don't think people, as a rule, are false or have bad intentions. There are two factors to consider. Our own role, the other person circumstances.
In my opinión, we are a bit manipulative in relation to other people. We need their approval so we show them our best face. This is not falseness. It's social baseline and our own pride. But out of this, there are only few people who really aren't worthy. The ones who have to take advantage of us.
See my signature.
Perhaps, these few people even don't do it conciously, they need boost their self-steem. But, be on guard with them.
