No one has ever told me to literally fake it--but at my old job as a hairstylist I pretty much had to fake it in order to make it. My bosses called me out for being quiet and not bubbly. Honestly I think I only "made it" there was because I cut hair good, not because clients had any personal connection to me. I am super conscious about making sure I don't appear depressed at work or school. But when I get home I am super exhausted and need to go to bed. I find it's hard work to fake it, and eventually one thing leads me to crack...then it all comes pouring out and people find out who I really am.
