Christian retreats are fake?

If your a Christian, I'm sure you've attended plenty of retreats in your life. I am a Christian, and I must admit I'm not a very good one when it comes to being "Christ like". I've noticed throughout the years that Christian retreats bring out fake qualities out of people. I don't even view retreats as an "emotional rollercoaster", I view it as people just acting different for a couple of days. Everyone is nice to each other, and supposebly blessed, but that all fades away right after the retreat is over. Also, why do we need to be blessed at retreats, and coincidentally, why does everyone seemed to get amazingly blessed at retreats? Can't people be blessed by God anytime, anywhere? Lastly, I've witnessed people recieving gifts at retreats, like manifesting (dancing through the holy spirit), and speaking in tounge. The strange thing is when one person recieves a gift, it seems like the whole congregation recieves a gift. God gives people different gifts, he doesn't give a whole darn church the exact same gift. I think Christians need to start being more real when it comes to retreats, instead of putting on an act.
