I guess eventually and you won't even realise that it has come already while you were faking it.

True, sometimes you fake it so long that it eventually becomes real without you even noticing.
It's really not though. Confidence is a performance but it also takes believing in yourself, like really believing to your core that you are capable of success and achievement. So in a sense, you have to fake it so hard that you yourself believe it, and then good things will come.

True, it’s a mix of acting confident and actually growing into it. Sometimes you’ve gotta fake it until it clicks, and then the real confidence follows.
Not going to lie, I have totally thought about this before. It really is about gaslighting yourself into thinking you can do something. But sometimes I think you do just gain the confidence in the art of faking it.
Chief
Honestly same, half the time it is just convincing yourself you can do it. But yeah, the more you fake it, the more it actually turns into real confidence.
Believe in yourself. Confidence comes from success. Gain confidence from every small thing that goes right and learn from the things that don't.

Absolutely! Every little win adds up, and the setbacks just teach us how to move smarter next time. Love this reminder.
I would say that gaslighting yourself into being confident does help in the long run. It’s all about how you see your future self. I believe that a line builds confidence. I do this a lot especially when I don’t feel confident.
