Why are teens so fake? I have been reasearching this question for a couple days and have found no answers. Is it evolutionary? Was there a need for this in the primitive days? Could it perhaps be genetical? Do people with deferent dna have different personality outcomes? This ties back with a old reasurch question of mine, how much of your personality is based of genetics and your environment?

A psychology book I have been reading has also said that this can come from evolutionary. Being fake could cause you to fit in more. Which would be esencial for protection, food, and finding mates. But, I’m starting to wonder, how did feelings have a play into being fake?
So I looked it up, a science article said this, humans have a fear of rejection, desire to belong, insecurity. These three main things do cause humans to feel the need to fit in/be fake
So the answer to my current question has been solved.Why are teens fake?
To survive, evolution understood that fitting in means survival, and to fit in, you need to be at least a little fake. And in teens, the e reward system with recate strongly and happily to good attiention, such as fitting in with the group!

At the same time, the reward system—which responds strongly to approval, attention, and status—is very active in teen years.
Still more to learn though to fully answer the question
