Me: -offers protips-
- When waiting in public, read something with a serene look on your face.
- If possible, make the book something esoteric or philosophical.
- Always have ready a sly smile and a raised eyebrow.
- Practice giving people a knowing look when they give you odd ones.
- Failing that, a smile and a dead-eyed stare work pretty well too.
- Grin conspiratorially at small children who peek at you.
- Wear black if you like, but whatever you wear, make it a statement.
- Maintain confident posture, even when relaxed.
- Walk in like you own the place but aren’t making a big deal of it
- Walk out like you’re coming off a stage.
- Whistle nonsense tunes at birds.
- Pat trees affectionately and smile at them.
- Go to movies and cafes by yourself. Make no excuse.
- Be polite to people but offer no personal details in conversation.
- Always Keep People Guessing.
Have fun! 🙂
Also
– Go barefoot, after a while it centres you and you learn more about the terrain
– Have pockets like Mary Poppin’s bag, keep an umbrella, book and other bulky stuff that shouldn’t have any right to be in a pocket
– Have something to feed to cats/birds and gain their trust
– Equally have something to delight any small children that talk to you (I used to have these little wooden stars and it without fail cheered up crying toddlers)
– Never talk down to children, they’ll be delighted.
