Yes at 22, I figured out feeling or claiming to be smart can really put you into serious problems among people. People dislike other people who try to act or feel smart, they purposely try to test their level of smartness by causing lots of unnecessary dramas and barriers. How true over there? These days i rather pretend to be a dummy while i outsmart people. 1 Like |

22yrs:Depends on the context. Always play the card that best represents your person. In some cases it is good to play smart and look smart, in some cases it is not. The crux of it is that you ensure you achieve your aim in the social setting in the easiest way. And sometimes easiest way means you might step on toes! But who cares 1 Like |

22yrs:outsmarting people in social settings is not an easy skill, so don’t stick with any rule. I encourage people to learn solid social skill to improve social health. Although the reverse seem to be the case, the moment a person notice he is more socially aware and intelligent than his/her neighbor, the next thing is to play social games since he/she knows he will emerge winner. A coworker intimidating another timid worker, the confident boys intimidate the low self esteem student, 419 outsmart JJC, The quick finger snatch the phone of the slow passerby. Internet fraudster outsmart his client, A pretty girl manipulate men to pay her bills, A handsome guy manipulate naive ladies with vein promises Power play everywhere. But sometimes it is avoidable but the gains would never allow people to take their eyes off power play and social manipulations 2 Likes |
