Someone who expects everyone to be friendly. Nobody owes it to anybody to be friendly or welcoming all the time, or to like/pretend to like every stranger they ever met. In life, if you make a few true friends, you have what some people pretend to have, and what many never get. Why would you need more than that? Why would you already like/love/trust somebody you never met, a stranger. Anybody who says they like/love/trust a stranger is pretending to like/love/trust a stranger.
Only a pretentious person would say they liked/loved/trusted someone they never met before/didn't know well. Someone who wanted everyone to assume they owed it to other people to like/love/trust everyone, including them.

Get the Pretentiousmug. Pretentious isnt much different than superficial, though it's more of a mindset than a personality. It's a mindset that isnt based in authenticity or reality.

Get the Pretentiousmug. Somebody that wishes they lived back in the old days when legs got amputated by saws that had no power and people had to knock sense into the one kind of person who never got it without getting hit in the head with a 2×4.
The pretentious girl wanted to perpetuate an inauthentic tough image of someone that every now and then needed someone to hit them in the head with a 2×4 to knock sense in them, but also wanted an inauthentic image of someone that liked expensive clothes cars, and drinks. There was no good reason she was always acting tough, just like there was no good reason she was always going back and doing the opposite by trying to get people to indulge, spoil, and pamper her like a Disney princess, a cartoonish and unrealistic expectation of what people should do for her.

Get the pretentious freakmug. Someone that lives in a bubble of (false) boundless optimism and hope or a Disneyfied fantasy world all year except Christmas for some reason. Their instinct to defend themself and look grown up kicks in at Christmas (even if it seems negative to others), and all of a sudden they're not a kid anymore, they're a big boy/girl. Yet somehow, they're still trying to call someone else the scrooge even if they are the ones putting the most effort into sucking the life out of people and the holiday season around the holiday season.
The pretentious piece of shit sent kids to Christmas carol at the front doors of strangers not because she actually enjoyed Christmas carols herself, but just to fuck with people's heads. She was the kind of person that would use other people's kids to walk all over people for her, even during Christmas, then wondered why everybody seemed like Scrooge.
