katt_goddess Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Always drink things with a single pinkie finger extended and a total poker face going. Nothing is more boldly arrogant than being seen sipping a fountain pop through a straw with a pinkie extended. 1

Fake it till you make it. I've never considered myself attractive but I get compliments every rare once in a while. I just say thanks and move on. In business confidence is key. Know your product and know your strengths and play into them. 1

Know your product and know your strengths and play into them. this is for real the biggest problem because that is so very true. i have a sincerely hard time figuring out my own strengths... or admitting to those others see. i suppose tho, thats where the fake it part can start from.
MEXobiologist Posted March 16, 2018 Author Posted March 16, 2018 anyways, some of my girlfriends were giving me a hard time last night. they were saying i need to learn how to have a bad bitch boss attitude where it should apply, IF i want to see some success with any of my ambitions. they weren't wrong but i kinda don't even know how to break the mental habits.

Accept your awesomeness. You get out and do stuff and create pretty art. You deserve to celebrate that. 2. Some insecurities can be legitimate like for example how you feel about selling in a shop. That is a real concern, but manage those insecurities by doing as much research as you can to make a decision either way. 3. DO...NOT...CALL...YOUR...WORK...SHIT. NO! That's tearing down your own hard work, and you'd be surprised how many potential customers are annoyed by that kind of thing. This is part of the "fake it 'til you make it" advice. Unless you think there is something actually wrong with a piece, swallow down your doubts and lie like a dog about how confident you are in it. 1

I guess, I mean, I don't actually think it's shit, it's just a bad choice of words. Though maybe subconsciously related to lack of confidence? Idk. Anyways, that's not something I've ever considered before and makes sense. Very reasonable thing to start practicing as well. Thank you. You've made some good points for me to keep reminding myself and practice.

pneumantion Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 You should practice throwing baking soda on the roadways to help make it snow. You will be bold as you drive down the roadway with a baking soda box sticking out of the window and a cloud of baking soda in your trail.

It isn't what you are drinking that brings the arrogance, it's the damn extended pinkie finger. McD's fountain pop? Just a pop. Pinkie extended? Arrogant bastard drink. Bottled water? Regular hydration. Pinkie extended? Arrogant bastard drink. Gas station burnt coffee? Sorry for your stomach linings you cheap bastard. Pinkie extended? Arf you arrogant bastard. Pick your poison and drink it with a pinkie extended. Maybe add a pair of sunglasses to the mix to help with the poker face. 1
nameraka Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 1. start paying attention to how stupid most people actually are. 2. dwell on this. the rest comes naturally but not without a healthy side dose of misanthropy.
TrigunBebop Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I dunno anything about bold arrogance. I just know how to be full of hot air and have an overinflated sense of self worth.

Well, think of it this way. I have never made and sold a piece of jewelry. You can now lay claim to that rarest of all things, having accomplished something I cannot. While I could assuredly become a lapidary if I truly applied myself, I simply don't have the time, so you can rest secure in the knowledge that you are among those few who can do something that even I, The El Ginguy, loaned disproportionate talent by Almighty God, cannot. Thus ends lesson one in arrogance.
new_disease Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Step one practice doing the people's eyebrow. You won't get to use it yet tho, thats for when you fully master being boldly arrogant 1 2
GunStarHero Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Go to a store or restaurant and purchase the chepeast thing available. Proclaim that your money is the backbone of the establishment and that they'd go out of business without you.
discolé monade Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 head up, shoulders back. always walk into a room like you own that bitch. be kind but not a push over. when you get a compliment. say thank you, but be thinking 'oh...i know' 1
Distortedreasoning Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 bold arrogance isnt even that great of a thing to have.
