It's nothing new to see people pretending and faking something that they aren't... It was happening in the past, it's happening in the present, and will in the future... Not sure if it's more "visible" nowadays than in the past, but it becomes too widespread all around the world with social media... We had so many gurus, influencers, and smartasses that it looks like we are doing better than ever... While the reality is completely the opposite, similar to your example with your classmate... 99% is all fake...
The biggest problem is that those fake people are role models for young generations, which is very bad for them... 😟
A small gift on the topic... :)
