It might interest you to know that most NTs are fake as well. There is a narrative/script about how one is supposed to be behave in a social setting and also a work setting.
Most NTs have to put on an act in order to please others. We all carry dissonance about having to keep up appearances but its a necessary evil.
Very few people are authentic to themselves, although Aspies like Elon Musk have done it but then he still follows social rules but then can afford to reveal some of his "true self" now that he's a billionaire.
True, there's probably more faking in the NT world than in ours, but they don't feel as bad about it as we do. And a lot of the time they don't intend to be taken at their word. I've felt for decades that the best definition of lying is deliberately giving a false impression. Though I'm not saying they never do that.
I think the NT mind is often inherently more sublimated to the hive mind, so maybe they don't feel the pain of losing their identities to society as much as we do, on average.
