STUPID THINGS WE DO TO LOOK COOL:

☞ Talking on speakerphone in public:  Why have a private conversation that invades everyone else’s space? (Do it over text, like the rest of us…or at least turn it up so we can hear the other person better!)

☞ Taking pics of cash:  Rather than looking cool, this gives the impression of trying too hard. It’s just as bad as bragging about how rich your parents are!)

☞ Boasting about not being on social media:  Just like despising popular trends, there’s not much point in bragging about not being on social media. It doesn’t make you “better” than anyone else. (Same thing about eating vegan?)

☞ Insisting on having the last word:  Sure, it gives you a momentarily exhilarating feeling, but it never, but it doesn’t mean you’ve satisfactorily resolved the conflict.

☞ Using abusive swear words and insults:  Insults directed at a person’s gender, orientation, physical or mental ability, or skin color not only decreases your cool factor, it actually makes you appear intolerant. (But…isn’t that what Twitter was invented for?)

☞ Making fun of others’ hobbies or interests: Laughing at someone else about what they enjoy because it’s perceived as cheesy says more about the person poking fun than it does about the person showing an interest in something. (Yeah, [***co-host***]!)

☞ Using your zodiac sign as an excuse:  We’ve all heard someone do it: “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I’m a stubborn Taurus”. Don’t use your zodiac sign as an excuse to continue bad behavior. (So, what excuse should I use?)

DID YOU KNOW?

Super skinny people are more likely to be couch potatoes than those with a normal or high body mass index (BMI), a new study says. Researchers in China have found that it’s not more activity and less food which keeps many people fitting into a size small. The author of the study says the researchers “expected to find that these (very thin) people are really active”, but the study found “They had lower food intakes and lower activity, as well as surprisingly higher-than-expected resting metabolic rates”.
