When was the moment you realized you’d never try to seem smarter or more impressive than you really are? I’ll go first! I was 16, talking to the school’s certified heartbreaker, and we were chatting about books. He asked if I’d read The Prince by Machiavelli. I had never even heard of it. Then he said he didn’t know anyone who’d actually read it and that I talk about books in such an interesting way, he’d love to discuss it. Guess who spent the next week reading a 16th-century political theory classic. When I showed up ready to discuss, he looked surprised and said: “Whoa, you really read it? That was 2Pac’s favorite book. I wanted to read it too, but it’s kinda heavy… did you like it?“ Yeah. Never again.

Lol what a poser that guy was 😆 Honestly I find it safer to seem dumber than I really am... The only drawback is that you can fall victim to mansplaining and it's hard not to cringe 😅

Hahaha, I’ve had moments where it was easier to just listen to a long explanation of simple things because there was no way to squeeze in a clarification about what I actually asked or meant. Honestly, that guy taught me a big lesson in empathy 😁 He never once mentioned if he had even read the book himself, just gave me a compliment and I totally took the bait. Later, I kept thinking how I didn’t even ask him why he was interested in the book in the first place 😅
