I've noticed a lot of people, mostly young folk like you, have trouble fitting in. I've decided to take it upon myself to write this blog in the hope that you can all learn and benefit from reading it. This will mainly focus on embarrassing things to avoid doing in public.
There are countless things which will draw attention to you in a negative way and cause you to become embarrassed. Mainly because the vast majority of you have absolutely terrible timing, execution, you don't know what to do afterward, and you don't share my flare for the dramatic and esoteric.
Some of the following has been edited from its original form and phrasing to better fit the readers on this site. For all instances you should imagine the scene in public where EVERYONE there will see you.
Suppose someone physically contacts you. A hand on the shoulder or arm, a hug, a kiss on the cheek, or even just someone brushing you slightly for a moment.
It is imperative to not do the following step by step intruct- I mean warning. You also shouldn't rehearse doing it beforehand either.
1.) Scream in a manner expressing pain.
2.) Immediately throw yourself against a wall or to the floor in a seemingly violent way.
3.) Pretend to writhe in pain with tears in your eyes.
4.) Point at whoever touched you while shouting, "Oh my god! Help! Get them away from me!". Don't crack your voice either.
If a teacher is taking a long time to start class and you want to speed things up, do NOT;
1.) See above first step.
2.) Quickly cover your eyes.
3.) Fall over and scramble on the floor.
4.) Continue screaming.
5.) Shout, "My eyes! My eyes!".
6.) When asked what's wrong, shout "I can see! Why isn't my teacher blinding me with knowledge?!"
Most students wouldn't react like that. More often than not, it's better to review your notes or homework instead.
This is only two examples, but generally you shouldn't act like someone who you think would do those things.
B.A.: (Stare at your wrist for a minute. Look at the person. Stare back at your wrist for another two minutes. Look at the person and say, "I don't have a watch."
That last one is a bit dated because I started doing it in grade in school, but now everyone has a phone.
Feel free to post your own examples.
