This phenomenon, often referred to as irony or sarcasm, occurs when individuals express a sentiment that contrasts with their true feelings or intentions. It can be a form of humor, a coping mechanism, or a way to navigate social dynamics. People might say one thing to avoid confrontation or to adhere to social norms, while their true thoughts are left unspoken. Understanding this discrepancy often requires reading between the lines or considering contextual cues.
When someone calls you a 'hypocrite' it means you say one thing and mean another or, you tell someone what your feelings are and do the opposite. You may also give other people what you feel is good advice yet you may do the opposite of that advice.

The opposite of apex is antapex.(Nadir is the opposite of one use of apex, to mean zenith.)
False. Apart from the fact that there is no such thing as an opposite. If, by opposite, you mean negative (additive inverse), then start with a negative number. The negative of this will be positive, and so greater. If by opposite you mean the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse), start with a positive number less than one or a negative number less than -1.
Hypocrisy is doing one thing while saying that another should be done, or to do something while denouncing it and/or promoting the opposite action.
No. Suspense is feeling excited, anxious, or uncertain about something that may happen. Iron is a type of metal. Irony is when someone says one thing, while meaning the opposite.
I cannot think of a one word antonym (word with the opposite meaning) to "disperse". However, to disperse some "thing" means to distribute that thing widely. Thus, a group of people can "disperse" after meeting together. Obviously, a "single" thing cannot be dispersed - one cannot speak of an elephant being dispersed. So one can only disperse collectives (groups or sets).If asked for an antonym to "disperse", I would say "aggregate", or "bring together" or "concentrate" (as in "many people are concentrated in this part of the city").
