Q&A for How to Be Cunning

If he is ignoring you, ignore him, too. That shows you have more important things to do than want an answer from him.

Use the frustration to your advantage. Keep calm. You can be annoyed later. Focus on your comebacks. Don't resort to name calling. Absorb every word someone says. Turn whatever they say around on them. For example: Him: "I hate you." You: "If you hate me so much, then why are you even talking to me?" If you can't think of anything to say, stay silent. You will look like the bigger person.

Because cunning people often know how to manipulate others to get what they want. Always being sincere can be an obstacle in achieving certain goals.

Think beforehand of all the possible explanations for the outcome and come up with a good alibi. Practice saying different explanations in a natural and believable manner. Always have a plan in case you get caught.
