My Shortest Post Ever, Probably
I’m a member of the “believe in yourself” generation, but I don’t.
I mostly talk a good game, though.

I have come to the conclusion that “believing in yourself” sometimes requires one lying to himself on his weaker days that he does indeed still believe.
I also think that part of believing is pretending, though at least for the proper reasons or cause.
You’re absolutely right.
So much of my life right now feels like “fake it til you make it,” and every now and then I start listening to the voice in my head that says, “Give up, you’ll never make it.” (Sometimes it also says, “Everyone knows you’re a giant fake and is just humoring you.” By the light of day, that looks a lot like good ol’ Imposter Syndrome.)
I forget that everything I *have* managed to do in my life has been done through a combination of stubborn persistence and self-delusion, and start to fall into despair. That’s where I was, last night, and I’m really grateful for your words here.
it’s impossible to be On all the time. so indeed, “fake it till you make it”. and keep going.
best of luck, and stay stubborn. 😉
