This is a matter of personality Vs pretense. Many people do this to gain attraction or make them gain influence. Unfortunately, this does not make them any better because they are unreal and living a fake life. These people are likely going to lose value in the long run. when they eventually trap some people especially of the opposite gender, those people come into their lives with high expectations only for them to meet disappointed.

They want to be someone else, to present themselves in a better way then they are... those people lack a confidence...

"Without Pretend No Glamour'

Individuals attitude is always acknowledged by 'Society'

We all use some mask in the family and society. It is very difficult to live in the present society by always telling the truth and not using any mask.

We all have many unfulfilled desires in life.

So, when we get chance to show others our face covered with a mask of our desired or admired face, we want to use it.

As nobody in the social media know our actual face, we can show the mask as the original face easily.

I think as a result of the deterioration of social conditions

I think as a result of high prices

to enhance their importance and status in front of society

Some pretend to make people around them thought that they are better than their reality, and some pretend in order to deception people around them.

Most of us ignore many things and I think the first objective in this life is to learn from others. People pretend because they are afraid to be judged. However (1) they will never learn the right lessons to solve their problems and worries. (2) they will never discover themselves and (3) they will never grow.

Pretention is a sort of adaptation technique from the external or internal compelling pressure to express oneself in a way which he or she is actually not. This may well be understood by the person(s) to whom it is expressed. There are every chances of unmasking or to be opened up/exposed in public or be ridiculed silently.

I can't resist citing two great quotes on pretention:

"I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to"................Sylvia Plath

"I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out".......Criss Jami

However, it's rapidly becoming a universal chronic disease because we are, nowadays, not only pretending to others......we are pretending within ourselves too. And......it is disastrous and painful.

This is a matter of personality Vs pretense. Many people do this to gain attraction or make them gain influence. Unfortunately, this does not make them any better because they are unreal and living a fake life. These people are likely going to lose value in the long run. when they eventually trap some people especially of the opposite gender, those people come into their lives with high expectations only for them to meet disappointed.

Pretend is a Hippo-cray which person are pretend to be what they are not sometimes in such cases it create misunderstanding between the person concern who are showing under pretension with he is not in his life .Such person are disturbing the good relative environment of the family which may not regain in their earlier shape .

This is my personal opinion

Dr Valentine Joseph Owan , you are right....Indeed

Some people pretend to gain the community around it and get close to them as a result of social deterioration or as a result of personal lack or concealment of advantages that the individual does not like to declare .....

Greetings

People pretend for many reasons. Some do that to camouflage their actual situation, some to highlight an issue, some to fill a gab that they have encountered. Mostly, people try to pretend to avoid being questioned and get peace of mind.

Thanks Dr Luaay Abdulwahid Shihab for your contribution.

I think to complete the lack of personality

Because they are not happy with showing their selves

It maybe a confident issue, Or insecure about their self,

Or maybe that don't like or feel good enough to be their self with these people so they pretend.

Or maybe they have not found their self, in transition like teenager or something that has made a massive impact of their life

They may also pretend due to self protection, to keep a distant, to protect their self or to come over, show they're more outgoing, confident than they actually are, putting on a front

But mostly I would guess people pretend when they are not comfortable being them

People pretend to avoid being questioned and get mentle satisfication.

If people pretend something which is not real then it is a kind of hypocricy.

People pretends because they don't want others to know their true identity in life. They decide to live a dual identity.

Such persons live fake lives.

They are somehow afraid of revealing their true identity. May because it negates the kind of live they are projecting to the world at present especially on social media.

Most of people pretends in society because they hide their true quality and take sympathy in life, but it is not true life.

Yes,pretension is a tendency to place them right to other people.This is an outcome of double standard character.

Thanks Dr Noor Sabah, Dr Mohammed H. Musleh, Dr Nazim Hassan, Dr Mohanad Hazim, Dr Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin, Dr J. M. Koli and Respected Dr Ajit kumar Roy for your contributions.

People who lack self confidence and esteem pretend to be someone else.

Pretending someone whom you look up to or whom you cherish to be like is not good because that won't bring out your own unique qualities but you tend to look FAKE.

People pretend because they want to hide their real personally.

Pretenders are always claiming to be what they have not attained in life.

From a personal point of view, I believe that demonstrating and demanding demonstrations is a healthy phenomenon, uniting people towards common goals and also pressure factors against governments that deny the rights of the masses to their rights ... if the demands are legitimate

DR . Segun Michael Abegunde

Thank you for question was distinctive and important

A democratic and civilized tradition that people pretend against their governments, a tradition that forms part of the culture of European peoples with their democratic governments by high standards ... for example, demonstrating for the provision of electricity and solving the problem of unemployment ...

The truth always triumph. We can not be better on the basis of lies.

All the people in the world are pretending to demand higher salaries and less hours of work than the Japanese people, that is the strange people, who pretend that the departments of companies and factories increase the working hours !! Because the increase in working hours earn higher salaries, this is the equation of the Japanese people, increasing salaries associated with increasing working hours, and then increase production. In fact, the story of the Japanese people is a wonderful story. It is the story of the man who does not despair, no matter what the obstacles are. He is the story of the man who learns from the setbacks he goes through. Instead of pushing him back, he is pushing him forward. Japan after the Second World War was completely destroyed by it. Which was issued by former US President Harry Truman to launch a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, after Japan refused to comply with the will of the victorious states to declare Japan's surrender. Three days later, the United States launched the second bomb on Nagasaki, killing nearly a quarter of a million people Days ago E, which is the only nuclear bomb used in the wars in the world, which is launched by an advocate of human rights at the UN level, the United States of America! Although Japan signed the surrender document to the victorious forces after the nuclear bombs on August 15, 1945, the Japanese people decided not to give up. In a strange will and challenge, the Japanese decided to achieve another concept of victory. The guns, bombs and missiles were never instruments of victory. In a half century, the Japanese have built a second-ranking economic power in the world, and many of its giants have a global reputation, such as Toyota, Panasonic, Sony, and other companies that have reached every spot in the world.
