Hypocrisy is usually defined as holding others to standards you don't meet yourself, or giving advice you can't follow. But I think the first is sadly almost universal and people don't realize it, while the second falsely condemns good advice just because the person giving it has fallen short. A better definition of hypocrisy is a cultural atmosphere in which lying is expected or even required and people ignore this fact. In other words, it is culture that is hypocritical more than it is individuals. When you feel you can't tell the truth about how you feel, what you believe is true, etc, and especially when these are genuine and accurate, the reason tends to be standardized hypocrisy.
