Does "fake it 'till you make it" realy work?(confidence)?

Question

If so how does it work again?

Any tips on how to do it?

Thanks =)

Answer 1

I think being fake is  unfulfilling. But at the same time, a smile is contagious ya know.

Answer 2

Yes, it works. It's based on the power of suggestion. You suggest to yourself confidence by behaving that way. Your unconscious believes it and your self image starts to change.

Answer 3

It's suppose to make people think you have the confidence in yourself.

Yes it does work.

In job interviews, are you completely honest about your strengths and weaknesses?  No.

You probably fake confidence in how well you can do the job.

That is how you "fake it till you make it"

and it can apply to many things in life.  Jobs, friends, business, journalism...

and it takes practice to learn it.

You have to train yourself to behave that way.

Answer 4

This is a phrase I've heard as it relates to sales. The more you "get out there" and tackle whatever it is that you are not confident in, eventually, you will succeed. In sales, this is usually public speaking.  

Answer 5

Honey , what are you talking about ? fake what ? s*x ?

if so, or you are not been honest with your partner or you just need another one . Life is too short , be honest tell him what you like . he is not a wizard .  

Answer 6

yes and no.... it will work if you believe in yourself...ie (confidence) It doesn't work if you don't believe in yourself...ie (low self-esteem).

Answer 7

All the world's a stage. It can feel real if you play the part...or realize it's not you,

Answer 8

No, and its the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  Faking it just makes everyone think you are ok.  You cant get help if you are fooling everyone.
