It depends on what you are faking and what the barriers are.
I gave a long example post, but wouldn’t assume that the same thing would work for everyone. Some people have anxiety and no amount of faking it will overcome that level of anxiety for some things.
There are also things that people have other barriers to succes. I don’t believe I will ever learn to be fashionable because it changes constantly and never makes sense to me, and faking it was a spectacular failure. Taking basic fashion here, like I even fail at things like brown belt with brown shoes because they are the wrong browns or materials or something.
So there won’t always be success and it will vary widely based on the person. I know of people who figured out riding a bike on the first try, some in a week, some took a year, and a few that never succeeded despite their best efforts over several years.
I’ve been faking being nice to people over the phone for like 10 years now. I hate it but it’s the only jobs I can seem to get that will pay above minimum wage . All my bosses say that I sound so pleasent on the phone but I’m always doing my best to get off the call as soon as possible and hate every call . With my current job it’s so boring I can’t even think of something notable that happened in months .
My opinion is that if you can comfortably pay your bills and have a steady job, you’ve “made it” as far as the saying goes. But there’s always more “up,” so the faking it never really stops.
Anyone know when the “making it” step starts happening?

When people stop questioning you and start accepting what you are saying within reason.
