The fraudulence paradox was that the more time and effort you put into trying to appear impressive or attractive to other people, the less impressive or attractive you felt inside — you were a fraud. And the more of a fraud you felt like, the harder you tried to convey an impressive or likable image of yourself so that other people wouldn’t find out what a hollow, fraudulent person you really were.
Logically, you would think that the moment you became aware of this paradox, you’d stop being a fraud and just settle for being yourself (whatever that was) because you’d figure out that being a fraud was a vicious infinite regress that ultimately resulted in being frightened, lonely, alienated.
