Maladaptive schemas:
I must be perfect to be accepted.
I'm stupid.
No matter what I do, I won't succeed.
I'm a fake.
Is there a slight chance it might mean "I'm no good, I have no 'brand quality', people don't know yet, but they will find out soon..." Or does it mean "I keep pretending"?

I'm not authentic. I am not real.
I do not believe it means I am pretending - that would have to be I am faking it or something similar.
