Fake

To pretend to be something that one is not

Let's say you have a favorite color, like blue, but your friend really likes red. If you tell your friend that you like red too, even though you don't really, that's being fake. It's like pretending to be something you're not.

Being fake means not being honest about what you really think or feel. It's important to be honest with yourself and others, but sometimes we might say things we don't really mean to be polite or avoid hurting someone's feelings, to be kind to others.

Example: Introvert problem

Fake or rude in people's eyes. It's a choice to appear fake, or else you appear rude and unfriendly to people, so choose it!

• Doing what you don't like or don't want to do = fake
• Doing what you like or want to do = rude, unfriendly

Either way, people have a negative view of us. No matter what we do, anyway!

But sometimes you have to fake it! or else you aren't stepping out of your comfort zone.
