21 People Call Out Performative Fake Behaviors
We could all use more genuine moments in this world. But as humans, we can't help but perform in a way for whatever reason — for show, an ego boost, pride, etc. Plus, social media doesn't make it easier. A Redditor asked, calling this out: "Be honest. What's one thing people do that's purely performative, but they act like it isn't?" Responses rolled in, and it was a flood of things we've probably seen across social media and in real life. Here's what people had to say: "Anything on LinkedIn." "Posting on social media on Mother's Day/Father's Day/any other holiday about how much they appreciate a certain person, when that person is not even on that social media platofrm." —EssentiaLillie"It means so much more to me when people send me a text on my birthday. And it's almost hurtful when my close friends and family post on social media, but DON'T call or text me directly. It's like, who is this really for?"—MisfitAsAFiddle"Happy 127th Birthday, Grandpa!"—Prudent-Aide5263 "Humblebragging. Even when it seems natural, people still try to look as intelligent and competent as possible." "Posting about how selfless and charitable they are on social media." "Performative social media posts about how wonderful their marriage is. I believe they've actually done studies on this — the more someone posts about their perfect marriage or family, it actually means the relationship is unstable." —AdultingUser47 "Pretending they were close to someone once they die. That performative, 'She lit up the room and I miss her every day,' when they hadn't spoken in 30 years, and only then in passing, is 100% BS." "Posting a picture of themselves in the ER or hospital, but with no other information whatsoever." "Literally everything related to being an 'alpha.' —HawkBoth8539 "People who post themselves giving stuff to people experiencing homelessness on social media. It's so exploitative." "'Thoughts and prayers' posts. Just stop it. DO something, or just be quiet." "Recording any 'acts of kindness.'" "People who pretend to wash their hands. It's really disgusting. Running them under water for five seconds is not washing your hands." —deedee20000 "Instagrammable protest. I get the desire to be around like-minded folk when you feel powerless — and I've attended my share of marches and actions over the years — but the whole let's-make-a-clever-sign-and-hope-it-goes-viral thing is more about self-promotion than being down with the cause. The most vital work is being done far away from social media." "Revving motorcycles at any point when they're not in motion. It's fun and sounds cool, but it does nothing for the intended purpose of the bike. I say this as someone who revs it a couple of times anytime I start my bike, just for fun." "Every meeting in corporate America." —noodesandcoludes "Flexing green flag attitudes on social media but never applying them in real life." "A lot — not all — church-going folk are in it for the appearance." —Educational-Creme391 "I hate to say it, but sometimes DEI efforts feel performative. When companies focus more on showcasing diversity stats, like how many languages are spoken, instead of valuing people for their actual strengths, it misses the point. It ends up feeling like they're using employees as tokens, and that does everyone a disservice." "Telling you how early they wake up to 'beat the day.'" —dcidino "Saying 'Hello, how are you?' and 'Good, thanks. How are you?' feels performative to me. I don't think most people care how you're actually doing." And finally, "Performative activism. Like, changing a profile picture 'for awareness,' and then never mentioning the issue again." What are your thoughts on performative habits? Let us know in the comments!

Asking Eric: I feel free from family drama
Dear Eric: My wife and son got into a heated argument after he told her that he had dated a woman three times, and on the third date, he asked her if she wanted to split the bill. The woman later texted him that she didn't want to go out with him anymore. My wife told our son that it should be up to the man to pay when dating. My son strongly disagreed, telling her that she was old-fashioned and that the current practice is for those who are dating to split the expenses. Who is right? – Confused Dad Dear Dad: Dating is about finding a person who shares one's values and vision for life. One of your son's values is, apparently, sharing expenses at a certain point. This is totally fine. Dates can be expensive. My mother used to say, 'Romance without finance is a nuisance,' and I always remembered that when I wanted to go on a date, but my pockets were a little light. Your son and the woman weren't compatible in their views about paying for the date. That doesn't make him or your wife right. He was doing what works for him and openly communicating with his date about it. One hopes that he'll find someone who shares that value and has no problem splitting the check. Dear Eric: My sister stopped speaking to me because I didn't attend the wedding of her daughter, my niece. Every year I purchase very expensive seats for my husband and I to attend a two-day concert, for Father's Day. The wedding was planned on one of these days. We chose to continue our tradition. When my sister found out, she called me screaming and brought up things she'd been holding on to for years. As always, most of this was fabricated and not true. There are many issues in my family. I have been on a healing journey from cancer, other health and ancestral trauma and so on. She is 70 and I'm 75 years old. I want to live in peace and love for the rest of the life I have left. I feel free from family drama. My small immediate family is a blessing. My health, family and loving friends come first. My niece and I have a good relationship. We had dinner before the wedding, and I met her husband. I am not worried about that. Although I think of my sister often, I reflect on the family drama, and feel relieved that I am not in it anymore. We are senior citizens and should be enjoying our life. What do you think? – Want Peace and Love Dear Peace and Love: Honestly, your letter had me in the first half. I thought, 'You can't skip the concert for one year?' But this isn't really about the wedding. Your niece seems to be fine with it, from your telling. So, even if your sister had bruised feelings about your choice, it isn't really her fight. What appears to be happening here is that this event is just another inflection point in an on-going conflict. Sometimes we're in conflict with people, but sometimes they just have conflicts with us. That's the issue here. If she's bringing up issues she's had with you for years, then the wedding was just an excuse. If part of your healing journey has been setting a healthy boundary, then you should keep that boundary and not engage in further back and forth with your sister. You wrote that you want peace. Peace can always be a shared goal, but if she's not willing or interested in working toward it with you, you can step back with love. Dear Eric: I use the exercise room in my apartment. So does a neighbor who has a body odor so strong that when he is there – or has been there in the previous few hours – I open the window, turn on the fan, prop the door open and wear a mask. There is no staff to complain to. I feel that saying something to him would be crossing a line. Help! – Workout Woes Dear Workout: Although a conversation is the most direct route, it might be uncomfortable and could create a tense situation for you in the building. Because the space has no oversight, take the reins by posting a community note on the door or in the room that acknowledges the gym is a stuffy space and requests that everyone air the gym out during workouts and practices community-minded hygiene. (Think of the signs at pools that instruct swimmers to shower beforehand). Now, this depends on a level of self-awareness that your neighbor may not possess. But, short of talking to him, your next best bet is reminding him – and everyone else – that this is a shared space.
