Which one suits you well? To let the others Overestimate you... or Underestimate you?

Question

In my case, I let my friends overestimate me and my enemies underestimate me.... <wicked smile>

How about you then? And why do you let them do that to you?

Answer 1

we let people underestimate us all the time - to get an advantage -- Playing cards you fumble a shuffle on the first turn, so they don&#039;t realise your a sharp straight away.

We also let others Overestimate us to get to the place we what to be.  Into the position we what to be -- Which is ahead.

Its all about advantage and survival.

I have few enemies Now.  So it must be working ......... LOL

Answer 2

overestimate

Answer 3

I sometimes let people OVERESTIMATE me, to gain status, and reputation...  But then, once I&#039;m put into that position, where I need to perform, then I usually catch on fast &amp; excel at the given task successfully, surprising even MYSELF...  I guess the whole idea of a CHALLENGE, is what suddenly brings out my best skills, allowing me to triumph.  So it turns out that it wasn&#039;t really an overestimation after all, because I was capable all along, thus I work my way into being WORTHY of that gained status &amp; reputation.

On the other hand, when people UNDERESTIMATE me, it&#039;s usually not because I &quot;let&quot; them, but rather, because they CHOSE to.  So if I defeat them at something which they didn&#039;t expect me to win, I never feel like I purposely DECEIVED them or anything, because I DIDN&#039;T...  It&#039;s not MY fault that they assumed I was unskilled.
