"genuine" Something that is genuine is real and authentic, not fake or a copy. It can also describe someone who is sincere and honest and not pretending to be something they're not.

The idea of being forced to be nice can be expressed in a few different ways:

• Insincere kindness: This describes friendliness that feels fake or inauthentic.
• Enforced politeness: This refers to situations where social norms or rules require politeness, even if it's not genuine.
• Ingratiation: This is behavior aimed at pleasing someone in order to gain something from them.
