Fake it 'til you make it

"Fake it 'til you make it" (also called "act as if") is a common catchphrase. The purpose is to avoid getting caught in a self-fulfilling prophecy related to one's fear of not being confident, e.g. "I can't ask that person out because they will sense my lack of confidence." The article ''How You Too Can Be an Optimist'' in ''Prevention'' points out, "In research at Wake Forest University, for example, scientists asked a group of 50 students to act like extroverts for 15 minutes in a group discussion, even if they didn’t feel like it. The more assertive and energetic the students acted, the happier they were."〔(The Pessimist's Guide To Being Optimistic ), Prevention, December 2011.〕
It is often recommended as a therapy technique for combating depression. In this case, the idea is to go through the routines of life as if one were enjoying them, despite the fact that initially it feels forced, and continue doing this until the happiness becomes real. This is an example of a positive feedback loop.
The phrase is often associated with Alcoholics Anonymous even though it does not appear in either of the books that form the foundation of the AA program, ''Alcoholics Anonymous'' or ''The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions''.〔Alcoholics Anonymous: the story of how many thousands of men and women have recovered from alcoholism (4th ed.). New York, New York: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services. ISBN 1-893007-16-2. OCLC 408888189. http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/〕 ''AA to Z; An Addictionary of the 12-Step Culture'' describes it as a "suggestion often made to newcomers who feel they can't get the program and will go back to old behavior. The suggestion implies that if the newcomer acts according to the steps and teachings of the program, then the program will begin to work and the anxiety will fall away".〔(http://www.enotalone.com/article/10419.html AA to Z; An Addictionary of the 12-Step Culture ), Christopher Cavanaugh.〕
