[quote=Anonymous]I think often that level of enthusiasm is often faked cheeriness, but I don't think that means she "manipulated" you into hiring her. It might just mean that this is the work persona she's adopted because it helps her get through the day, or she's found people respond better to it, or she's masking other things. She might be "faking it til she makes it" or using cheerfulness to deal with burnout. You don't know.

Some people may genuinely be like this, though I also think if it feels fake, it probably is. I think you can intuit when someone isn't being genuine.

I only mind fake friendliness when there's a dark side to it. Like I've met people who are very fake friendly and cheerful and then it turns out they are major gossips. This actually is manipulative because they sometimes get you to open up more due to their cheerfulness, and then will share everything you say with other people. But then the issue is not that they are fake cheerful, it's that they are gossips. On it's own, fake cheerfulness is pretty harmless and could actually be nice.[/quote]
