Pretending to be something or someone you are not often stems from a desire for acceptance or fear of rejection. This behavior can lead to feelings of disconnect and anxiety, as the facade can be difficult to maintain. While it might provide temporary relief or social advantages, it ultimately undermines authenticity and genuine relationships. Embracing one's true self fosters deeper connections and personal fulfillment.
The term for when someone is pretending not to listen is "feigning ignorance." This refers to the act of pretending to be unaware or uninformed about something, even though the person may actually be paying attention. It is a form of deception or manipulation used in various contexts, such as avoiding a conversation or responsibility.
Feigning means pretending. So, if someone is feigning anger, that means he is pretending to be angry... trying to fool you into believing he isn't thinking straight, or something like that.
No, it means just what it says. Someone or something is pretending that they are dead so that they can be safe from a predator.
It means someone who is pretending to be someone they are not.
Generally (because the question is somewhat vague), it means pretending to be someone else during the commission of or with the intent to commit a crime. For example, pretending to be a police officer and stopping someone (unlawful restraint); however, pretending to be a police officer while delivering a stripper-gram would not be criminal as there is no crime committed or intended. It doesn't have to be a police officer, though, it could be a normal person. For example, pretending to be someone else so you can take money out of their bank account, even something as simple as using someone else's ID to buy alcohol.
