Amy Cuddy TED Talk - Fake it Till You Make it

[@darby3385]

"Don't fake it until you make it. Fake it until you become it."

WOW. I watched this years ago when I had very low self confidence. Immediately after watching this I began walking with purpose and without closing myself up (faking it). I soon forgot about this video. But in the last week, one person has asked me, "How are you so confident and how can I exude that same level of confidence?" and today another person asked me, "How do you walk the way you do? I want to walk like that." I was genuinely so confused by these two questions. My face when they asked me probably showed how speechless I was. But then I remembered this video and realized how over time I stopped faking it and eventually at some point unbeknownst to me I became it. How simple. Believe in yourself. Wow.

My teacher showed this to my class during my freshman year of high school. Now in my second year of college, I can truly say this video has changed my life for the better so much. I myself have "faked" so much my first year of college, faked being the person I want to be. Let me tell you...there will come a point when you suddenly realize you are not faking it anymore. One of the best feelings I have ever experienced.

[@arnurson]

The theory she postulates has been debunked several times in more rigorous studies. Even the co-author of the original study admits that there is no real effect. Yet she still claims it’s true. Not admitting to serious mistakes is not a quality I would wish for in a teacher, tbh.

[@arnurson]

She used a technique commonly referred to as p-hacking/data dredging to make spurious correlations seem meaningful. You could basically call it fraud. That’s not an overstatement. In social psychology text books this is now described as one of the primary examples of faux studies that forced social psychology into a so-called replication crisis.

[@rinakil4888]

This woman is a true hero. She says the right things. people often pretend, even though they don't know what they're pretending to be. someday there will come a moment, they will suddenly realize that they are no longer pretending. one of the best feelings in the world.

[@tylisirn]

My form of faking it is not posing, but rather dressing up. I'm a programmer and my work dress code is basically "don't show up naked and you're good". I still choose to put on a dress shirt and a suit. I want to feel like a professional, so I dress like a professional.

[@bumblebeesting4189]

I remember watching this video a year ago, when I was studying at college and struggling with the same thing as Amy Cuddy back at that times. This video really helped me to overcome all the difficulties that i had and boosted my confidence a lot. I started doing things, that i never thought i could do. That’s how I became a better version of myself :) It was also interesting to learn how our body language affects on our self-awareness. By saying it, I mean the fact that it comes naturally and even blind people act in the same way during the victorious moments, as sighted people do. I just want to say a huge thank you to Amy Cuddy for giving this speech. I think, that this video should be shown at schools and colleges, so that students, could draw on her experience and gain motivation from Amy’s personal story

[@aviwemahanjana2809]

Amy Cuddy, you are one remarkable human being. This is so insanely accurate. I work in a male-dominated field (agriculture) and I see these power stances ALL THE TIME and boy are these guys confident. The rare farmers who don't have that stance are usually the ones who aren't achieving the yields that others in the same region are achieving and man, you can just see the lack of confidence exuding from them. I myself feel like all the time and I have been stressing about how limiting my lack of confidence is. I can't wait to start implementing this and teaching to people.

[@CosmopolitanFools]

Ms. Cuddy is more than a voice that can coach nor even instruct upon methods. She supplies a wide range of attainable means that transforms based on individual mind-sets. Imitative behavior is often banal but essential on levels of awareness & non-awareness - with Ms. Cuddy being able to supply target examples, which affect thoughts / feelings which can be grasped & embedded within us, as social animals + as self-aware beings. Her talk supplied examples, snippets of facts, & a LOT of groundwork that adds weight to her arguments, adding effective measures likely to get results. She is a woman who is a force of Nature, believing in her words, a product of a life that made such concepts as valid resources to build within ourselves a better "us". Thank you, thank you for such an informative, potentially life-changing, talk.

[@lunaivanaa]

I watched this for the first time today and realized that I did this without even knowing.. I started performing on stages and when I first began, I had so much anxiety I couldn't even believe I was doing something so outside my comfort zone. But the more I did it, the more I came to realize how much I loved it. I've come so far and people don't understand when I say that I have really bad anxiety yet I'm a performer. It's so hard to explain but sometimes you just have to push through!

[@_annoyed4692]

Yes, we _could_ all make ourselfs look big and try to send out nonverbal signals of 'confidence'. Or, we as a society could finally understand and normalize not to confuse confidence with competence, and agressiveness with management potential.

[@НикитаПетров-ь2з]

this video was shown to me by my teacher in the 1st year of the institute. This is really an amazing topic to discuss. The speech of the host of this show inspired me to be more confident in myself, or rather, for now, pretend to be so. It was very interesting to hear about body language, very informative. If a person is confident in himself, or will portray confidence, other people will notice it, which will help him in life.

"Fake it till you make it" is a modernised interpretation of what Aristotle already suggested: one must act as a virtuous person to become virtuous, which sounds obvious but it is actually not an easy task. The "fake" part just does not resonate with me.

[@Dmitriy_Petrunin]

In ordinary life, you don’t think about the fact that body language can say a lot about a person. You don't notice the person's body language. Perhaps only on a subconscious level. Even when you try to understand a person by paying attention to his movements, you don't think about it. Indeed, body language can say a lot about a person. Someone behaves like an alpha, someone behaves like an omega. You can pretend, you can decide for yourself who you are or what kind of person you seem to be. Most of the time, people do just that. Some seem strong, but are actually timid. Others seem timid, but a dragon lives inside these people. We can influence our mind with our body. We can force ourselves to be strong. And soon the brain will begin to think that this is actually so. We have the power to completely change our lives. Everything is within our power.
