Don’t we all put on different masks wherever we go? Job, Army reserve weekend, family, spouse, etc.

Which one is even “real”?

I wish you were better at faking being literate, Jesus.

Bad advice.

Faking it is my key to success. I pretty much outkicked my coverage in every aspect of my life and continue to do so every day.

Faking it = trying

You can’t hit home runs if you don’t swing for the fences.

Those folks are disingenuous and you're stating the truth. But it's an All-American way! It's a major reason so many people suffer setbacks and headaches in life. Same reason I'm slow as shyt going into different types of relationships also and commitments.

fake it every day of my life. If people really knew how dark my mood usually is and how bad I feel they'd run away. I know this because I've tried telling people about it and it doesn't work. So yeah I fake it and I'll continue to fake it.


If I made public the shite that runs through my head I’d be put in an institution or arrested
