    There’s also a broader definition of “fake it til you make it” that somewhat impacts the thought: I don’t really use it in the context of work or my career, but instead when I’m having an emotionally turbulent time and I need to push through feeling bad by faking feeling good to finally start feeling better.

      Please, please, don’t do that. I understand that life can be rough sometimes, and there are moments in it when you don’t have the time to “feel it out” and you need to just survive, now.

      But… Just pushing your negative feelings deeper down and “faking a smile” is a really bad way to cope and can lead to serious issues with mental wellbeing. So please, remember that all feelings are valid, and are there for a reason. Let yourself have a mental space to feel the emotions fully, even if they are not positive. Coprehend and analyze them, find the situation that is causing them and go from there, doing things that can make it better.

      And remember, nothing is in vain, and everything going to be fine. Have a good day :)
