Hi Siva, welcome to “the club.” 

A renowned hypnotist once said: ‘I don’t like “Fake it till you make it” because you’re always faking it.’
There’s a lot more to to it than the oversimplified law of attraction gurus want us to believe. 

It isn't that they want you to believe something that doesn't work; it's that they don't understand what they're trying to teach.  

One of the keys to using the Law of Attraction successfully is to become what you seek to attract.  If that is something you do not or cannot yet have physically, etc. then you must make that change within yourself internally.  "Fake it till you make it" is going about this the wrong way; the key is to use your imagination, coupled with intense emotional involvement, and create an experience of what you desire in your mind and emotions that is so vivid and passionate that it becomes impossible for you to not "experience" it when you imagine it.

If you want confidence, this would not be trying to fake confidence; it would be spending time each day vividly and passionately imagining what you would be like, how you would feel, how others would respond to you and how you would act and respond to others, if you already had the confidence you desire to achieve.

Doing this for five to ten minutes each day, just after awakening, and just before going to sleep, will create the same thing outwardly.  How and why gets complex, but the point is, you're not "faking it until you make it".  You are creating it and making it grow and flourish within you, first mentally and emotionally, and then it will "become" outwardly as well.

"Fake it till you make it" tells you that the person doesn't understand how things really work.
