How do I gain higher status in class?
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

I was just wondering about this because I am in top set in all my subjects and I ace all the maths, ICT and science tests(unfortunately I can't say the same for the other subjects although I am working hard on that). I usually have the answer to all science, maths and ICT questions as, risking sounding like a nerd or geek, I genuinely enjoy these subjects and research them far beyond the required level. Is putting your hand up all the time boasting? Although I take great pride in my abilities in these subjects I do not want to come across as boasting.Originally posted by S0LID
try hard to get the grades but dont boast (when i was working in a primary school, there was one kid who loved throwing his hand up to answer questions, he was annoying).
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
