Fake it til you make it? Isn't faking the same as lying? What makes you think you'll accomplish something by lying to yourself and others?

I use 'Fake it til you make it' for things like confidence. I have a horrible time getting the confidence I need to talk to people well or go to new places, etc. But I can fake it, and if I can fake confidence long enough? It's not so fake anymore.

Fake-it-til-you-make-it is a sure-fire way to avoid terrible endings to terrible conversations.
Do you want to hear, or even care about hearing, how your co-worker's cat totally acts like a dog even though it isn't and has pictures to prove it and you have to see how funny it is? Of course not, but you smile and nod as opposed to having to explain why your coworker's smartphone is in their left lung to the superior court (it's on appeal)

Does faking it create an 'authentic' experience?
Does pretending to be kind lead to kindness?
Does pretending to be happy lead to happiness?
Does pretending to care lead to love?
