"Fake it til you make it"

How long does it take before it actually works? Been doing this forever it seems with little to no results.

In my opinion, if you have to fake it then it's not even worth trying

Hi, same question has come to my mind. I’m a pro at “masking” which I feel is the same as “faking”, been doing that for 30 years, so then I ask myself the same thing. Maybe it works short term to help you cope in the moment while also taking the time to let go of the faking and work in what is underneath the need to “fake it til you make it”. Just my own thoughts, but I haven’t figured that out yet either

I spent a long time faking it. Now this summer I lost my business of 10 years and now my husband of 13 years is leaving me.
