- Don’t surround yourself with negative people. Sometimes being around negative people can instantly get you labeled negative. Therefore, even if you’ve never met this crowd of people before, you are better off meeting someone on your own.
- Stand without your phone. Just because your alone doesn’t mean your phone needs to keep you company. Keep your head up high and your eyes up. Don’t be afraid to hold a drink, look up and simply smile.
- Don’t stare at other people. Just because you are not a part of the crowd doesn’t mean that you need to stand away from it. That’s why you need to own standing apart, and alone. Why?
