Acting Relaxed

It has come to my attention that recently I've been acting too relaxed. You might thing; "Well, what is the problem with this? Surely it means you must be socially confident."

That's what I thought too.

But no it isn't. You see, I experienced a lot of benefits when acting relaxed in everything I do. Generally, you aren't scared of people no more, because you're relaxed and not worried even if someone is carrying a weapon. Other people get the same vibe about you, so they are attracted to you, knowing you seem like a 'cool' person to hang out with.

So you may be wondering 'where is this article going?', that I shall address immediately, well, sort of.

The benefits of acting cool may be good at first, but in the long term you suffer. Why? Because people can't take you seriously. Think about it, first impressions are important right? So if someone knew you as a cool and relaxed person the moment they saw you that image of you will be implanted in their minds from then on. And people generally don't like this, because they see you are not serious at anything and it blows them away from you.

You may be wondering at this point; 'Well, it isn't happening to me' but how do you really know that? I certainly thought I was doing well, until that was I started getting all this feedback from teachers, friends and even my mum, it was because of this which prompted me to change.

So if anything, don't try and act to 'relaxed' and cool in public. As painful as it is just to be a stereotypical socially conditioned person it is something you just have to live by. Maybe wear nice clothes and find other means to look good but certainly don't misuse this attitude of coolness to cover the true you underneath.

That last one sounded cheesy.
