Lie Low

Imagine you pretended to be everything someone else wanted in a relationship. From that point on you would have to do many things you don’t like, acting like someone you are not. All in the pursuit of avoiding the inevitable outcome of being found out as the liar that you are.

In contrast, if you do the things you value, despite the fact that someone else thinks they are flaws. Then the people that fall in love with you actually love you, and love your quirks and peculiarities. If you display everything you have done wrong and let them judge away, the ones that stick around will appreciate you that much more.

In addition, If you refrain from telling others how good you are at something, you can’t help but meet and beat expectations when they discover your skills and passions.

manage expectation by omitting all the best parts of you… lie low.

Being the expert is cool, but have you tried just being yourself?
