How to Be the Coolest Guy

The coolest guy in the room is confident and social.

Though the term "cool" means different things to different people, one thing everyone would probably agree on is that being cool means being confident in yourself. Whether you're entertaining friends, interviewing for a job or starting at a new school, it helps to have confidence. Without trying too hard, there are a few steps you can take to increase your confidence.

Instructions

1. Practice positive affirmations before starting each day, such as "I will succeed today." Forming this habit will increase your belief in yourself and raise your confidence level.

2. Be sociable and open to meeting new people. Popularity, visibility and approachability are all part of being cool.

3. Take steps to separate yourself from the crowd. For example, try out a new haircut or style of dress.

4. Avoid situations that make you anxious or uncomfortable. It's important to test your own boundaries when it comes to meeting people and trying new things. But if you find yourself pretending, acting out, or trying too, re-evaluate who you are and what makes you special. You can't fake cool.
