Question

How do I improve myself when I feel really sorry for myself, humiliated, as if there is no hope, and that my heredity is messed up?

Community Answer

Find something you are good at. Practice on your own, but keep a low profile so you don't mess up in front of everyone. When you have mastered it, go to a new gym or club which is popular with sophisticated people (usually the high-end ones). This will expose you to new people who know nothing about you except the fact that you are good at what you do, and this is usually enough to gain anyone's respect.

Question

How can I quickly recover from embarrassing myself?

Community Answer

If people are laughing about whatever happened, laugh along with them, and/or crack a joke about it. Then just change the subject and pretend like it never happened.

Question

Can I be called sophisticated and classy while also giving off the vibe of a rebel with tattoos and a vulgar mouth?

Community Answer

Typically, a vulgar mouth is not a very sophisticated quality, but you can create your own sophisticated manner by combining the article's suggestions with your speech, rebel vibe, and tattoos.

Question

My friends can act a little bit crazy and it feels like they're tarnishing my reputation. How can I handle it without hurting their feelings?

Community Answer

Be polite but honest. Tell them how you feel and what you may have to do if things don't change. If things persist, find new friends who are more receptive to your sophistication.

Question

Does painting count as a sophisticated hobby?

Luminat

Top Answerer

First, nothing "counts" as a sophisticated hobby. It's not the hobby that's sophisticated, it's the person doing it. But, if you want the traditional, stereotypical version, then yes, painting is a sophisticated hobby.

Question

Can I be sophisticated and be a gamer?

Pretzel27

Community Answer

You can. While the "gamer" culture's obsession over video games and spending long hours at a console isn't especially sophisticated, there's no reason you can't play video games and make the effort to be sophisticated at the same time.
