♡ 1 don’t say what you actually mean the first time

if you care about someone or something , your instinct will be to hide it or downplay it . that’s fine , just be aware of it . try letting yourself say the softer version underneath the “ whatever ” response sometimes . like instead of shutting it down completely , you leave a small crack in it so people can actually see you trying .

♡

♡ 2 your body is going to betray you

crossing your arms , looking away , fidgeting , going quiet when you’re flustered … it’s all part of it . the goal isn’t to look composed , it’s to look like someone who’s clearly having feelings but refusing to announce them . let the reactions happen and don’t overcorrect them so you dont come off mean

♡

♡ 3 practice “ denial , but obvious ”

when someone points out you’re being kind , soft , or caring , you can deny it but don’t make it convincing . the whole vibe is “ no i didn’t ” while still doing the thing . it should feel like you’re arguing with reality a little bit , not actually fooling anyone .

♡

♡ 4 learn your tone split

your words might sound slightly sharp , blunt , or dismissive , but your actions don’t match that at all . you still show up , you still help , you still care you just act like it’s annoying the whole tim

♡

♡ 5 have one person or thing that breaks your act

you don’t need to be “ cold ” all the time . actually it works better if there’s something that makes you softer , quieter , or more normal for a second .

♡

♡ 6 don’t over worry ab your reactions

it can be a tad awkward , a little delayed , sometimes too much . if you try to make it clean and perfect it stops reading as real . let yourself be slightly clumsy with emotions and mayb slip up sometimes instead of performing them neatly .

♡

that’s basically it all i can think of sori if these arent helpful .
