The two words are similar and can be used interchangeable but has a slight difference in meaning and understanding. Fake life: this entails carrying on your daily life activities solely on the platform of not being real. It depicts one living a life of doubts trying to claim or rather claiming what you are not. Fake life lies more on one not being himself and living his life knowing fully well that the live behavioural pattern is so fake. E.g, most of Nigerian actors are so fake and living fake lives too because they claim to be in possession of what they could not even afford, always showing off. On the other hand......... Packaging: it is a more humorous word but it seems more complex and encompassing. Packaging is all about trying to position yourself in a certain way in order to fufill a certain set-out task or objective. Packaging depicts one trying to appear in a certain way or mood just to suit the time or condition he is in. Packaging is just for the main time game, one can switch back to his normal self when the actual goal is being achieved. For e.g, in Igbariam campus, u can impress a girl just by spending your weekly allowance on her at lachez claiming u've got the currency just to taste whats in-between her legs. When your mission is accomplished, u can hide back inside your shell of being broke and subject yourself to the normal okpa you are used to. Whereby fake life talks about d fake identity on which you are living your life on, packaging is just the extra measure u applied just to meet up to an expectation.

Livin a fake life is simply livin opopsite of who u ar really while packagin is d outer decoratin of one's self in order to look atractive

Both ar not d same...
A person living a real life can equaly pakage him/her self we'll
Pakagin comes in form of dresin we'll, talkin we'll etc
Everyone supose to pakage his or her self we'll bt its very bad to b livin a fake life

Packaging is when one does what he/she wunt normally do just to impress others and to be recognised...Eg: A guy dressing fine and telling a lady who his father isn't just to get under her pant and when you ask him how the hell did he get that chick he simply replies it's packaging...Conclusion: the only difference between packaging and fake-life is just difference in name.packaging simply means living a fake-life (K-SLIM)

2 me living a fake life intails dat one try no 2 be himself, he tend 2 be wat other pple wat or see hm 2 be and according 2 a german philosopher by name soren keikegard such individual is nt in existance cos he is living and inauthentic life
While packaging is when a person trys 2r et a standard fr himself, by standard I mean wat he want 2 be knw as, nt every packaging is a fake life, cos some pple have wat it take 2 package demelf 2 meet societial damand while some might jst put in all dere resources in other 2 meet end meet,
Fake life is goals is 2 make pple accept or luv u and ignoring d person whc u ought 2 be
While packaging is main goal Is 2 look gud and wanted and also as a means 2 an end of acheiving some set target

Packaging is acting in a way just so people can respect you and acknowledge you while fake life is knowing you are not something but acting it.

Fake life involves deciet,lies etc and it involves actions etc while packaging mostly involves your appearance,intonation etc.

Packaging is the defining, organizing, arranging and branding of ones self in other to differential or set ones self apart from the crowd or other. While, Fake life is living, assuming, acting and pretending to be what you are not and might never be.

Fake life is the complete opposite of your real life(self) while packaging is simply adjusting to keep up with the level expected of you.

Well the two has no Much differnce but i Will say That a fake life simply means showing what Is unreal and concealing what Is real,a fake life Is a pretentious life,when a person live in pretence he/she tend to leave the original life God has created in the person,a fake life reflects a persons value Equally attitude....for instance,one working as a cleaner in a hospital@abuja,Will décide to claim That he Is a médical pratitioner nd people Will believe him because That Is what he said,therefore living a fake life(pride)a pretentious life,one who goes to the market,get a fake Necklace,fake versace wristwatch,fake designer shoe which May look exactly as good as the real thing but very very cheap,claiming it to be original,he Is therefore living a fakelife.........while PACKAGING simply means to présent,show,make believe,disguise etc,we could say That packaging Is the act of giving a false apperance,pretending with an intention to decieve a person,manipulating fraudulently so as to make yourself better than u were before,making a deceitful pretence....for instance one Can décide to présent himself/herself for an occasion in an attractive way to look good owing to intentions,finally we Can say That a fake life and packaging have some similarities on PRETENCE,but a fake life could last for a long period of time while packaging Is Just for a while.......thank you

Packaging is when you are so cordinated with the little you have that people thinks you have enough, it can also mean managing what you have without complaining while Fake life is going extra miles to be who you are not even to the extend of lieing and doing all sorts of bad things.

hi, let me define this in a good way; "PACKAGING" is a situation when someone tries to add unimaginable things and other things that may not be in his life, or things he doesnt have to his life. by the way, its is the ladies that package most. you can package so
many things, ladies can even package their body wella. "FAKE LIFE" is like living a life that is not yours or not supposed to be how your life is; for example maybe you are poor but you try to live big and live a show-off life, that's it. well, if i have to get something, my number is 08138157919.

The difference is quite clear, 'living fake life' means you are forcing your self to belong where surpasses you just to convince people while 'packaging' means you are trying not to let people know your are not capable (by most of the time being yourself) and consuming your resources in a manner that makes it look like you are worth more than your real worth.
'Fake life' involves big lies and forcing yourself to belong but 'packaging' is more of proper management of the ones you have just not to let yourself down.

Often times people mistake this two to mean the same thing........, buh they re two dfrnt things.
To a lay man, packaging or to package means to cover up......, to cover up wot u dnt av........., in other words packing means working hard or trying so hard to look good or to impress. for instance a student from a very poor background can engage himself in other legit finz aside studies after dat he uses the proceeds to look gud. Packaging is not bad......., Infact packaging is advisable else some pple will remain stagnant or @ 1 spot for a very long time in their life. and one very gud advantage of packaging is that it brings like minds together, u dnt need 2 lie 2 d whole world nd be a dffrnt person.
Fake life............, Hmmmmmmm, fake life simply means lieing abt every fin abt you........, fake life is synonymous wif lies........, wen u leave a fake life, u lie abt everyfin about you, ure identity, ure roots, even your looks becomes a lie....., sooo fake....., u make pple see u as who u re not, u try 2 raise urslf above what you really are. Fake life jst works with lies......, cuz re soooo fake,,,,, u'll always lie abt where you travelled 2, what u re wearing nd who u re......., of course doze stuffs ain't really necessary
In summary wen u package u re still the real you pple used 2 knw...., jst dat some finz av changed or improved buh wen u leave a fake life u become a dffrnt person entirely cuz pple will only get d fake impression u gave them about you....., u jst become 2 beings....., the real you(that pple dnt really know) nd den d fake you. The big difference here is that you dnt need lies 2 package...., Jst hard work nd den fake life requires no hard work jst multiple series of lies. *smiles*

I bet if u can differentiate hunger from longer throat then u'll know how to go about differentiating packaging 4rm fake life.

I wish my Dad knows what #packaging is, anyway packaging is trying to liv up to a normal or higher level without bein left out, fake life is trying to show off what u don't have claiming to be on a good level which is not up to the level of packaging, in conclusion packaging and fake life are on a different level

Packaging is higher level of Fake life, u cannot call packaging fake life

Difference: FAKE LIFE puts someone in a position where he/she has an image to maintain at all time while PACKAGING on the other hand don't require much rather than co-ordination and being yourself. (Nwawube chinedu) 08067926180

What if I told you that 'Packaging' as used in this context and 'Fake-life' has no difference?
What if I told you that 'packaging' in this context is a 'cover up slang' for fake life?
If we are all against somebody or people living fake lives, then we should be against packaging. This is because the both entails being whom you are not.
A friend of mine Miss Jules is of the opinion that living a fake life entails telling of lies while the other doesn't. But I disagree.
Dictionary dot com defined lies to be:
1. A false statement made with deliberate intent to
deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2. Something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture:
I will not bother you with the dictionary definition of 'packaging'. It is simply a verb for the word package which no dictionary links it with the context of which it is used today by this entertainment generation.
Using the definitions I garnered from my friends as a case study, I noticed this special kind of stress on the idea of fake life. Which shows that everybody hates people living fake lives but gives a thumb on packaging.
It is almost a wise saying for us to hate packaging just as much as we hate fake lives.
Because its either you are REAL or you are FAKE
