fake it till you make it

faking confidence or happiness until you've reached or attained it; displaying what you want to be until you become it

I'm very uncomfortable in my skin, but act confident around everyone. Gotta fake it till you make it!

Fakebook

Posting only good things (upgraded photos and cheery texts) that make your life look better than it really is. Half-truths...the good stuff happened, but all negatives are nowhere to be seen.

My husband and I had a huge fight, and are on the verge of splitting up, but you will see cutesy the posed pictures from the party we went to on Saturday. I posted them on Fakebook..

Fake Deep

It is the act of trying to appear "woke" or "depressed" on a social media site to gain followers. It is usually built around a fake persona, built with the need to 'fit in' when in reality, it undermines real mental disorders, and could sometimes lead to legitimate depression. If you're suffering from depression, call your local hotline.

Please, don't try to be fake deep and build your persona around something you aren't.
