How can they pretend?

I know what you're saying. In fact, I even have friends who fit this description. I myself am puzzled why they can live a life of lies. Well, on possible reason I could think of is that these 'posers' pretend to have a certain kind of lifestyle in order to fit in. This probably is their concept of happiness, if they really are happy. Oh, well, they just haven't realized yet that they're only fooling themselves.

hello bembzee. nice observation. unfortunately, some people are never content with what they have. or maybe thy are seeking acceptance from other people that they have to pretend who they are not. or maybe they just feel too inadequate that they need to make up stories about how great they are.

How can they pretend? They have it mastered. Look at those politicians having smiles on their faces as if it was plastered forever. but mind you, once they're on the position or win after the election- you seldom see them smiling at you- or even look at you. So, these kind of people who are good when pretending already mastered this character. I just wonder if they their own selves.

Hi, You are right. Some people pretend that they are on the top of the world. They are the best. But in fact they are not because no one is perfect. there is no need to deceive people by behaving people like this. They don't get respect from others. People laugh on them but they don't know about this. They feel that they are successful in deceiving people.

Like you said, it is human nature to want the best things in life and I don;t think there's something wrong with that;especially if we are going to work hard for it without hurting other people in the process. But sometimes, some people want instant results, that is why they blindly let themselves be up to their eyeballs with debts, lie, and to even hurt other people just so the rest of us can see them as successful and living the good life. But I believe that if you get something the easy way like money, it will also be easy to lose them, unlike something that you worked really hard for because you would think twice before spending it.

We can not avoid to pretend to something, just to refrain from hurting other people. We can see the wrong intentions, sometimes we hold back not to interfere. In some point, we need to confront the person, aiming to realize their unintentional bad behaviours.

I know of one person who is like this in my life. It always seems as though he has a lot of money to his name because he is always buying new things, but it turns out that he has been getting his things by putting them on cards that are now maxed out, and I know that he is struggling with the amount of debt that he has. It is a shame that he has allowed himself to get into this mess because he is such a lovely person, and the only thing that is wrong is the fact that he is so stressed because of his situation.

Well, Some people do this to get other's attention. They don't bother or think about how long it'll be a true. It'll be good at the beginning, afterwards everyone will laugh if they came to know the true background/attitude/character of the person(as you said). Being genuine is always safer, if possible in all situations.

Some people don't care what other people think about them, so long as people are, in fact, thinking (and therefore talking) about them. Ever heard of the saying there is no such thing as bad publicity, that it is when people stop talking about you that one has to worry?? People have the right to pretend. Perhaps that is their way of coping/dealing with their bad situation. They don't want to walk around looking and acting all pitiful, so they put on a show and try to pretend like everything is okay. I would feel sorry for a person like this, but I would not waste too much of my precious time laughing behind their backs. I have other more important things to do than to spend too much time caring about what someone else does with their life.

I think such scenarios occur because of the things you had mentioned which reiterates the nature of men to be ambitious. And inline with that, most of us tend to pretend that we are other people which may sometimes be far from the reality. As to your question, I guess most of them are not aware of such impression considering that their attention are focused on pretending.

I know a lot of people who loves to spend and pretend they have lots of money but eventually they end in debts. Some of them goes into hiding to evade paying their obligations.

Sometimes, living a lie which is a fabrication of the truth is better than telling the truth of a fabricated lie. People just want to be rich and famous and all of that. But not many people make it, in fact most people are poor and not famous. People are born to be ambitious, but one can only be ambitious within a system which honours ambition. Countries and systems are different, ambition without guidance is just illusory.
