Yea same here but in a different way than what people usually mean.
Don’t fake being rich until you are.
I was and to a certain extent still am socially anxious and bad at talking to people and holding conversations. I started faking being more socially adept than I actually was by copying people I knew who were extroverts and by observing peoples interactions in the wild. Eventually I did get better with both and have no issue with either, although I do need some time to recharge later on after social interactions.
Aka fake it til you make it

Putting in my unasked for opinion that we should popularize ‘flail it til you nail it’
