Being cool at all time is a very important trait. Being able to appear under control at all times is a characteristic that will draw others to you. Tightly wound or stressed out people who are always on the verge of a breakdown or flip out whenever the slightest thing goes wrong are no fun to be around. Many people may not believe they have what it takes, but by following these steps anyone can be cool as a cucumber.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Remain stoic at all times. In order to be cool as a cucumber, you must not show any fear or signs of being rattled. When someone is cool as a cucumber other people expect them to never overact or get stressed out.
Step2
Develop your inner sense of disinterest. People usually get excited when they care about something. To remain cool as a cucumber you must remain detached and keep from getting excited over anything. People lose their cool when something good or bad happens to something or someone they care about. In order to prevent excitement, it is vital to make sure nothing is important to you.
Step3
Never raise your voice or move too quickly. People who can remain cool as a cucumber always look and sound cool. They never are heard yelling in despair or shock. They never run or act rashly. No one chasing a bus or running after an ex has ever looked cool as a cucumber.
Step4
Utilize humor to calm others down. When other people are freaked out they need someone who is cool as a cucumber to return things to normalcy. It is not enough to simply remain calm, but you must show others that not only are you not freaked out, but that you still have your wits about you to the point that you can make jokes.
Step5
Stay calm on the outside even when you are freaking out on the inside. If these steps do not seem to help being cool as a cucumber is still within reach. No matter how freaked out someone is on the inside, they can at least remain calm on the outside. Unless you are hooked up to a heart monitor, no one will even know what is going on inside.

Tips & Warnings

  • Realize that sacrifices must be made in order to be considered cool as a cucumber. It is not easy to be cool as a cucumber. You must leave things that are not cool behind. You must always be on your guard to make sure no one ever sees you not being cool as a cucumber.
