Fighting like you've never been knocked down or lost isn't the same as never having been knocked down, lost, or fallen to the ground. Somebody somewhere knows who you are, and who you were, no matter who you tell people you are.
Fight like you never lost long enough, and though people aren't going to underestimate you, they are going to research you more than they would if you had been straightforward, direct, or honest.

The one-day's, the maybe's, the I-hope's, the imaginary-future-game's, the can't-wait's, and the we-should's.
The Ghost of life itself wondering up and down your hallway humming a sweet sad song, reminding you of the opaque alternative you refused to nurture and cherish.
It's the words of comfort from others that unknowingly stab at your sense of solitude. It's the progression of comfort you provide yourself to reject pity. It's convincing yourself you're better off to avoid the pain of accepting your misdemeanors.
P1: there's plenty of fish in the sea, you've just gotta get back out there
P2: I'm better off alone, I have freedom, I can do whatever I want, and I have so much more time and money now.
P1: you'll change your mind, someone else will come when you least expect it and sweep you off your feet.

Someone who moves to a new place but goes on and on constantly about how great the place was they just moved from. This is typical of northerners who relocate to the south.
He always roots against the home team because he is a lost local and still thinks he lives in Chicago.
