After reading lots of phenomenology and existentialism I can't get over the fact that everyone is just playing a role in life. I can't help but feel that everyone is acting like they're playing a role in their own personal sitcom. Between the pseudointellectuals, the faux-artistes, and the politicians and lawyers claiming to be "authorities", it's almost unbearable for me to entertain their delusions in day-to-day life.

Are there any books about how this "acting" and dishonesty for the sake of appearances is actually a fundamental necessity for human existence and should be embraced rather than reviled?

The books you supposedly "read" should have an answer for that but you wouldn't know because you know next to nothing about existentialism or phenomenology.

It's all cope, no answer.
Without religion it's all cope.

Closest thing I found to an answer was Part 4 of Mere Christianity.
