I think if you find a human that says they were never a hypocrite, I would think they are probably lying.
They'd probably claim they don't like liars either. The bastard.

And yes I have been, in fact I received a rather nasty physical scar for my troubles the last time I decided to be a hypocrite. Karma's a ***** and all that.

In high school I liked to be angry and demand a lot from other members of the high school band, even though I never even made it to all-state. I felt like I didn't deserve to be in a position of such power.

All the time. I don't intend to do it as much as I happen to do it...

It usually happens when my girl mates start going on dates, or they have guy problems. That's when I then always seem to provide advice which in many circumstances I recommend but never actually take into any form of consideration because my situation is 'different'. Of which it isn't, but for the sake of me avoiding taking my own advice, it definitely is!

Or when I said "I'd never watch that film" then put it as high priority on my Lovefilm list. And never tell anyone.

Frequently. Constantly.

I am practically an amorphous mass of hypocrisies- or, rather, I let my head talk to myself, but my heart talk to others. Does that make sense? No, I guess not.

I can, right now, for example, reason with myself and deduce that, logically, no meaning can plausibly exist within our universe- the four basic scientific forces are literally all there is to consider.

But come five minutes? I'll be arguing with my sister about something, and realise too late that I am alluding to Karma, Morality or some other arbitrary human derived (as defined by my previous statement) concept within my statement.

I don't know. It's uplifting, being able to see two sides. Maybe everyone should give hypocrisy a try?

I always feel like a hypocrite if I correct someone's grammar and then mess up myself.

I think you comma spliced the last sentence in the second paragraph.

All the time. For most things. It's just something I can't get away from.

Yes, but then opinions and whatnot do tend to shift quite regularly on most things (even if it's only in a small way) so how could you not be one?

I frequently call people out for doing things I do all the time. Usually with harsh words and insults.
My brother gets it the most, seeing as he has decided it would be a good idea to mimic me.

Hypocrisy does not make what a person says invalid, though. A lot of the time, you recognise it because you have done it yourself so often.

I manage to mostly avoid it. Of course I have been hypocritical, massively so, but if I become conscious of it, I make a mental note of what I did and resolve not to do it in future. It helps to keep occurrences down to a minimum.

Like everyone, I've said some ridiculous bullshit by accident, believing it to be true and feeling like an idiot when I found out what's what.

But, not often.

I'm sure we all have at one time or another.

That said, I've also noticed that it's distressingly common to use "hypocrite" as a generic snarl word in order to try to discredit someone for disagreeing with you.

In a pro-life debate I remember writing "If you don't want children, then don't have sex. If we stopped irresponsible teens from sleeping with everyone they meet, we wouldn't have them using abortion as an alternative to contraception."

And this is after I got pregnant at 17 and I think I was probably pregnant with my second child at that point too. Except, my husband and I discussed pregnancy and what we would do before we ever started doing that stuff, but still. I felt like a complete hypocrite.
