Social Pitfall Guide: Manage Your Words, Don't Undermine Yourself
Remember! Important things need to be said three times—never actively highlight your shortcomings in front of anyone, not even your closest friends! Human nature is so subtle; there are some things you don’t mention, and others won’t care at all. After all, who has the time to focus on your flaws every day?
However, once you keep bringing up your shortcomings, the situation changes dramatically.
It's like handing someone a magnifying glass; they can't help but wonder: will this flaw affect me? Over time, your image in their mind will suffer greatly.
Those who love to self-deprecate not only expose their inner lack of confidence but also, invisibly, undermine others' trust in them.
You should know that confidence is contagious, and self-denial is just the same.
Want to have good fortune by your side? The first step is to maintain your bottom line and don’t easily reveal your weaknesses in public.
Learning to highlight strengths while minimizing weaknesses is the way of socializing for smart people!
