I think that when Daisy says this to Nick (in Chapter 1),
she is trying to convince Nick that she is happy and in a good place in her life. She
wants him to think that her life has turned out well.
Nick
does not tell us what it is that makes him think that she is not telling the truth. He
says he just can tell from the point that "her voice broke off" that she is not being
sincere.
To me, it would be pretty weird to say to someone
that you are really sophisticated. It seems like one of those things that you let
people notice for themselves. So I think maybe he realizes she's insincere because she
feels the need to say that. It's like someone telling you how smart they are or how
good at sports -- it seems like a cover up for their real
feelings.
