Specialness 01

I have a destiny. I know it. I've always known I was special.

Should I tell people? Or is it more seemly to wait until my destiny manifests itself?

A little reticence is generally considered seemly. You could also try pretending to be surprised.

Fake some prophecy or somesuch to help the people who're too dense to recognise your specialness.

Another one... How do I casually let it slip that I'm unique, unparalleled and an all-round smooth operator and famous beauty, without looking like I'm full of myself?

Go for posthumous recognition. *evil grin*

I don't think the person I'm trying to impress is a necrophile... besides, ewwww!

You walk up to the person you're trying to impress and say, "Hey' I'd like to impress you. What's the best way to go abou tthat?"

I want it to look like I'm not trying.

The safest method to achieve that is to not try. :D

The other party might be impressed if you showed interest in him/her/other, rather than purely in what you want.

So the advice so far is

Don't pursue what I want
Don't do anything
DIE!?!

God you people are weird.

Why do anything, when whatever destiny you have will manifest itself in any case and make your case for you?

Of course, you could simply silently work to build a basis for that destiny and see if anyone notices. Take it from me -- people tend to look at a person strangely should they just do like so:

I am the eternal jester who is going to rattle your land's rich, cruel and highborn, and I will do so in a way that will leave many a person filled with dread, admiration and disbelief. With style.

...

(It used to sound stupid, at least.)

Ooooh, I love that. I am beautiful, I'm the best and I'm going to become famous and attain the object of my desire and along the way will get my own back on everyone who laughed at me and didn't understand me... with style?

Like that?

...

How old are you, anon?

None of your beeswax, girlie.

I guess twelve, fourteen tops, or equivalent.

I'm tempted to call this person 'princess' no matter what gender.

Thank you! I have to admit, I thought you were just mocking me at first, but that's really nice.

As for that Nico person, god, I'm an adult, obviously.

*hysterical, hoarse laughter*
