People are certainly capable of hypocritical behavior without realizing it.
I personally wouldn't consider someone a hypocrit or characterize them as such unless I was sure they knew they were behaving in a hypocritical way and were too arrogant to change.
I don't know anyone who hasn't ever lived contrary to what they believed at least to a limited extent. I think the important thing is how you deal with the contradiction - by moving closer to your ideal or further into denial.

People are called or thought of as hypocrites all of the time without knowing it. It is a wise person who realizes their words don't match their actions on their own. Once in a while I get lucky and realize these things for myself.

Heh hee..I am so big hypocrite..all things I do wrong :they are not actually that bad because I do them..heh hee... does that sound familiar..anyhow..I love my Lord, and I know that He had to be beaten pretty bad for my sins..so that I can be assured that all my sins are also covered.

No, they are the worse kind of person, because they condemn something they do themselves. So, obviously they don't "know" anything of what they are condemning, because not only are they doing it themselves, but they are too stupid to realize it!

Ignorance is the main ingredient.

No...you could unknowingly be a hypocrite.
That is why you must be aware of what you do - are you walking your talk.
