There's a popular saying that goes, " fake it until you make it. " And while this phrase is often used in a positive light, there's actually a lot of harm that can come from faking it until you make it. The purpose of this phrase is to encourage people to act confident even if they don't feel confident. The thinking is that by pretending to be confident, you'll eventually become confident.
