3) Make a point of saying at least three deep and embittered things per day
Prime Dinner-Time Quips:
“Love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.”
“Change is neither good or bad, it simply is.”
“I blow up bridges.”
You’re an emotional hard-ass, and you want the world to know it. Cover up your deep emotional insecurities with layer upon layer of smart quips and one-liners designed to decimate. Why engage people in proper conversation when you can instead undermine them by proving how God damn smart you are?
2) Run out of stuff to do? Gaze solemnly out a window
Drink in hand, cigarette dangling from a grimacing pair of lips, you gaze out across the sprawl of New York. Penniless fools being told what to buy and where to go by billboards and signposts wander in a daze from doorway to doorway. It’s winter, the air is bitter, and the clouds overhead hint at snow.
You’ve been standing here for two hours now, but you don’t care – your silhouette looks totally badass.
