A little bit of mystery can help build your reputation.By changing how you act and talk in public, you can make yourself seem more attractive to the people around you.
Step 1: Speak softly about yourself.
If you are friendly and outgoing, you might want to tell your life story.People are not open books.When you are asked personal questions, answer them with a few vague words, and try to minimize the amount of things you disclose about yourself.If someone asks you about a recent break up, you can say something like, "It just didn't work out."
Step 2: Think before you speak.
This is coupled with speaking minimally.Think about why you want to say something and only say it when you need to.You will be given an air of mystery.
Step 3: Listen to others.
People who are mysterious watch others more than they watch themselves.Take in your surroundings, listen to what others say, and fade into the background a bit.It will also make you a better conversationist.
Step 4: You can self-manage your social media posts.
Don't post anything on social media when you're excited or upset.You have to limit how much you talk about yourself in person and online.Don't forget to keep your activity on social media sites.If you like others' posts on Facebook from time to time, you can post an occasional photo with a brief caption.
Step 5: Show your confidence.
It's important to be cool and comfortable in giving off a mysterious vibe.An air of quiet confidence is intriguing to others, and can contribute to your mysterious image because it proves that you know who you are.If you maintain good posture and keep your head high, others will pick you up on your confidence.Don't be rude and brag about how great you are to everyone, confidence and arrogance are different.
Step 6: Don't let your uniqueness get in the way of embracing it.
They don't just follow the crowd, they march to the beat of their own drum.Don't wear trendy clothes or participate in popular activities and embrace your own style.It may make you appear difficult to understand to others.
Step 7: Do unpredictable things.
Do things that other people wouldn't expect you to do.People will doubt their perception of you.Actions that are seemingly out of character may spark curiosity in others and make them wonder what you are really like.If you don't speak up in class, answer a question the teacher asks one day with a thoughtful, intelligent answer.
Step 8: Conceal your feelings.
People are hard to read.People will know what you are feeling without you having to say a word.If you want people to not know what you are thinking and feeling, try to keep your facial expressions neutral.If you got into a fight with your sibling or friend earlier in the day, act as if it was just a normal day.If you are interacting with people throughout the day, don't wear a frown or cry in front of them.Stay calm, cool, and collected at all times.
Step 9: You should be less present and available.
To be mysterious, you have to be private and unknown.Spending less time with them and talking to them less is the easiest way to keep them from learning too much.If you want to appear distant to others, spend most of your free time alone and with people that know the real you.
Step 10: Only let people you trust know the real you.
Carefully choose a few trustworthy people.People need to be close to each other.To these people, only express your fears, desires, and regrets.When outsiders realize that you only open up to a few, they may wonder about the real you, and wish they could be one of the special people you confide in.If you have been with your best friend for 5 years, consider only confiding in your mom.
Step 11: You should focus on your hobbies.
It's possible that having multiple hobbies makes you seem more versatile to others.If it takes up a lot of free time, it may add to your mystery.Working on your hobbies can help you develop a sense of purpose and pride.
