yeh those are kinda my thoughts but i think basing your mannerisms on somebody who's 'cool' is a good thing.

e.g. in 'The Game' before style is mysterys wing he decided to learn the mannerisms of 'cool' actors.

im not saying im trying to become an actor but learning and behaving in certain situation like them is a good idea imo. im looking at it as projecting a positive state i guess.

i remember reading an interveiw with dexter's sister, from the tv show Dexter, where she said she had low confidence when she was younger so she started faking it - 'fake it till u make it'
