English term or phrase: false by some people

Context:

They are easy to approach and talk to. They "connect" to new people easily, making them feel comfortable and relaxed. In extreme cases, may be seen as a little overbearing or false by some people.

What's the correct structure of the last sentence ?

1.may be seen as a little overbearing + or (may be) false by some people

2.may be seen as + a little overbearing or false + by some people

Consequently, there are two translation possibilities for "false by some people"
1. 被某些人欺骗
2. 被某些人认为是虚伪的。

Any comments will be appreciated !
