I think what's actually disturbing about it (or it would be if Phil deserved sympathy) is that he can't even sustain the "fake it 'til you make it" act for long. He does say incredibly fake and annoying shit about how happy, healthy, and great life is now...for about 10 minutes. Then he'll crash out at detractors or trolls or LTG or Doody or politics or crime or game developers or Druckman or Nintendo or debt or delivery people or Street Fighter or.... Then he'll go BACK to saying how happy he is. That's what's fucked about his current mental state. He can't even pretend to be happy for very long despite it seemingly being the one thing he wants everyone to believe about him.,Fake it 'til you make it "positive" Phil era sucks. It's why I believe he's being dragged to marriage therapy or he's forced to go to general therapy for some reason. It's a common method in CBT (and partly why I hate it, but I digress). Or Kat is and he's mimicking her, as we know he's prone to doing.
The thing with fake it 'til you make it is it's only a temporary measure to ensure you'll do things, take educated risks, etc... and allow yourself to shine when you eventually find your opportunity to improve in life. Phil is among the worst examples for this as he's perfectly content begging on stream until he dies, is so broken mentally and paranoid that he's afraid to go outside, and I doubt there is a way he can shine. He's genuinely stupid, talentless and a loathesome narcissist. Thus, it turns into him telling himself all day that he's great, changed for the better... and the narcissistic shut-in cycle just continues...
