FEIGNING INTEREST

You're not actually interested, but you're here. That's a start.

Step 1: Pretend You're Not Bored Out of Your Mind

Act like you're engaged. Lean forward. Make eye contact. Don't blink.

• Substep 1: Fake it till you make it.
• Substep 2: Take a sip of your 'coffee'. It's got a nice 'kick' to it.
• Substep 3: Stare intensely at the conversation.

You can do better than this.
