Question

One of my frnds,she's not @ all normal..tries 2 act cool but doesn't carry that act properly..we as a group are very normal..kind and r good at almost everythin except sports!

Answer 1

lol...

I can picture those people you're referring to. I have met such in person as well. However, I think they do it out of ignorance (not knowing that they're making a fool of themselves). But you can't blame them, its often seen that they do it.. inorder to make their presence felt which otherwise would get unnoticed.

I'm sure when they do or say such "cool" things, whether you like or not, you do look towards them, smile or even pass a comment.

They only need re-assurance that they get noticed even without that. And yes, its not bad to actually tell them that stop doing this... you only make a fool out of ourself. But pls dont say that in public :)

Answer 2

your friend might suffer from low self esteem and thinks she is impressing people with acting cool. we all do it at some stage of our lifes.

Answer 3

People are pretentious when they are insecure about their identity. They feel that unless they act like they do, no one will care about them.

They do certain things to be able to belong to a group...to find place and recognition.

Have you ever tried to tell her that she should behave normally???

Answer 4

Maybe she just has a lot of confidence in herself, and why should that be a bad thing?
