Tip 2: Be The Devil You Know (But Only For 30 Seconds, Then Get Real)

Back to Tip 1: Never Say the Word Network Tip 3: Be Your Best Sponge Tip 4: Use A Single Word To Describe Your Emotions (Or Not)

Step 1: Start by pretending you are a person who loves being wrong. Act like you're the biggest skeptic in the room. Say things like "I was sure that's not going to work" or "I'm not sure I believe you".

This will make everyone in the room wonder if you are secretly a robot or just really bad at this.

Step 2: Act Like Your Aunt

Step 2: After 30 seconds, suddenly switch to being your actual self again. Say things like "I was just kidding, that sounds great!" or "I'm so glad we're all on the same page!"

This will confuse everyone, but it's a great way to break the ice and make people wonder if you're just a weirdo or a genius.
