Pretentiousness, one of the human behaviors. It refers to the act of presenting oneself as possessing qualities, even if they are not true, in order to fulfill one's vanity or deceive others. It carries a negative connotation. However, there is also an element of affirmation - for example, as Tang Yin said, "fake it till you make it." Pretend to have something until you actually possess it. If you lack sophistication, pretend to be sophisticated until you truly become sophisticated. If you lack confidence, strive to forcefully be confident until you genuinely feel confident. Aspire for style, pretend to have it until you truly develop a sense of style. If you don't have it, pretend to have it until one day you do. Pretend, repeat, persist, and keep persisting. Embrace consumerism, pursue aesthetics, be driven by desires, and use disguise sincerely, and eventually you will bid farewell to pretense..." He couldn't help but laugh, looking at her with a serious expression, he lightly tapped her forehead and said, "Isn't it just about loving to pretend? Why all the unnecessary talk?"
