Social media debate

Social media users appeared to be in support of the philosophy, saying it had more to do with tricking yourself than tricking others.

Christina Marie:

If you wait, you’ll never get any. Fake it till you make it.

Little Rosette:

Did you know smiling can trigger your brain to believe it’s happy even if you didn’t feel happy before smiling? Smiling causes the brain to release the hormones dopamine and serotonin, which help to reduce stress and increase feelings of contentment. In turn, this can boost your immune system, help you sleep and make you live longer. When someone smiles at you, an equally unconscious reaction happens and you will often find yourself smiling back before you have even consciously clocked what’s happened. So, even when you’re feeling a little blue, as odd as it may feel, go and smile at yourself in the bathroom mirror and see

how you feel and make a point of smiling at a stranger this weekend. See how they react. Smiling just may change the world.

@RaqGraft:

If I had insecurities, you lot wouldn’t even know. Confidence is key and if you don’t have it, fake it till you make it.

@futureinmindd:

Iseea lot of the advice of “fake it till you make it”, but what if you just owned where you currently are and build from there? Too many faking it walking around in my experience.
