    I've known people that fake it their entire lives! I don't see why though.

    Yes, these things catch up with you. But it doesn't mean they learn.

    I don't think there's such thing as "Fake it until you make it". You have a subconscious. Soon you'll realize you've fooled yourself.

  • There's a saying: Fake it 'till you make it.

    I think if a person is faking a characteristic, they will eventually adopt it as part of their own personality.

    I remember when the movie Gangs of New York was being made and one of the actors is well-known for his Method Acting (pretending to be the character 24/7 until the roll is complete). Daniel Day-Lewis was so good at it and so into the roll that he creeped out his cast-mates.

    I've always wondered how those actors come out of those rolls without any psychological damage. Even the act of portraying sadness or terror for the day while they get a scene just right, would be putting their bodies through a lot of unnecessary stress.

      I can't help but think of Robert Downey Jr's character in Tropic Thunder.
      'I'm a dude playin' a dude pretending to be another dude!"

      • I'd forgotten about that!
        That was a funny show. Mr. Downey was sublime.

        A perfect parody of method acting though, for sure.
