Being mysterious has its benefits. But the thing people don’t realize is this, being mysterious isn’t so much a deliberate choice as it is a hard wired way of acting. In my personal experience, it’s due to the extreme isolation I dealt with growing up. So I don’t exactly have typical social skills. And it’s not that I dread social interaction so much as I don’t know how to act like other people. See when you socialize as a kid, you learn to mimick others. It’s typical heard mentality. You’re more likely to show the cards that you’re holding than I am because you don’t know any better. You’re just doing what comes natural to you because it’s what everyone does. When you’re like me, you tend to hold things back. Like wayyyy back. And it’s not even intentional in the fact to try to look cool or be mysterious. It’s just an ingrained self taught behavior. Because for me, being in isolation I didnt have others to learn off of, or to share with etc. it was just me and my own thoughts a majority of the time. So interacting with others is different for me, and the way I go about myself in the world gives the others the illusion that I’m cool when I’m really not. I’m honestly just a big dork with some really weird fetishes that watches entirely way to much Netflix and p***.
