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.

The smartest move is to act as stupid as possible. Learned that in my late 30s, and quit corporate life shortly after to do my own thing.

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 😅

This made me laugh 😁😁😁 I don't think I have had this experience. I mean I'm still trying to accept myself as I am but it's hard 😅

good book tho! anyway I never managed to finish it even though it was part of our university program as for the question itself, I bet there were plenty of moments like that but I just don't remember them right now Or maybe my memory is blocking them not to make the trauma worse

Strong anecdote, worth sharing, made better by the lessons you thought to learn. 🙌
