In today's world, high standards are set, so sometimes people feel like failures if they fail to earn a significant amount of capital or achieve significant success in their careers.

That's why our acquaintances and friends can try their best to pretend that their life is much better and more interesting.

What are 3 signs that you can use to identify a person who is only pretending to be successful?

Showcasing personal success on social media

If a person is really busy with a career or earning money, then he does not have the opportunity to inform his friends through social networks about every step.

When a person constantly shares his leisure time in expensive establishments, visiting various seminars and courses, then this speaks of a desire to pass off wishful thinking as reality.

The most recognizable branded items

There is a certain attitude that a successful person must wear branded clothes that cost quite a lot.

However, sometimes truly expensive things do not look as flashy and bright as the most popular models of branded items.

If a person is just trying to appear successful, then he chooses only the most recognizable things, because he needs to impress his friends.

Lack of respect for people

Experts note that truly successful people maintain respect for others and behave politely. If a person is just pretending, then he tries to dominate those who, in his opinion, are lower on the social level.
