Does being polite get in the way of authenticity?

I feel I can never really know really polite people.

do you mean that you think politeness is fake?

@Whispersindreams What has made you so mistrustful?
@Fernie I'm not mistrustful I just have life experience with it.

@Whispersindreams there are always disingenuous people out there but your post implies that you don't trust politeness...I guess politeness to me is just good manners and not that big a deal.

Sometimes it feels disingenuous from certain people but some people just naturally are very polite humans.

@sogdianrock Are you polite when you're mad?

It can if someone is putting up a fake front.
@Spoiledbrat It feels fake to me. I think people can be polite to a certain degree but too much polite is fake.

You can still be polite while being able to express your adverse opinions.

And polite people still experience a range of emotions and lose their ''cool'' at times.
@caccoon I lived in a culture where politeness was the norm...it was really hard to get to know people.
