Being low-key, uniquely cool definitely has its perks too. While your social circle might be smaller, it allows you to develop deeper, more meaningful connections with the friends you do have. And you\u2019re free to explore the hobbies that truly interest you without worrying about whether or not they\u2019re \u201ccool\u201d enough to other people.
Basically, other people not recognizing your unique coolness isn\u2019t a bad thing (oftentimes people struggle to understand extraordinary things, after all). Keep living your best life and doing what truly makes you happy. That\u2019s the coolest thing of all.","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Be-Yourself"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Be-Unique"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Be Yourself","id":108432,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Be-Yourself","image":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Be-Yourself-Step-19.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Be-Yourself-Step-19.jpg","alt":"How to Be Yourself"},{"title":"How to Be Unique","id":111355,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Be-Unique","image":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1c\/Be-Unique-Step-18-Version-3.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Be-Unique-Step-18-Version-3.jpg","alt":"How to Be Unique"}],"minimum":0,"image":"","image_url":""},{"number":2,"text":"You\u2019re cool, but some people just don\u2019t get it.","meaning":"You\u2019re a subtle, mysterious type of cool that some people just aren\u2019t capable of understanding (which is a shame\u2014they\u2019re missing out!). You\u2019re the kind of cool that people gradually discover as they get to know you more. And once they do, they can\u2019t get enough of you.
There\u2019s a freedom that comes with secret coolness. You don\u2019t have to take yourself too seriously, you get to hang out with a wider variety of people, and you\u2019re more likely to be down to earth. Plus, the people who truly know you love and adore you, and you\u2019re 100% cool in their books.
Basically, you\u2019re cool on your own terms, and you don\u2019t feel the need to show off or brag about it. And at the end of the day, that allows you to be more authentically you, which makes you even cooler.","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Make-Friends"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Find-Your-Passion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Make Friends","id":8041,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Make-Friends","image":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/53\/Make-Friends-Step-19-Version-3.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Make-Friends-Step-19-Version-3.jpg","alt":"How to Make Friends"},{"title":"How to Find Your Passion","id":6187,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Find-Your-Passion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Find-Your-Passion-Step-13-Version-2.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Find-Your-Passion-Step-13-Version-2.jpg","alt":"How to Find Your Passion"}],"minimum":0,"image":"","image_url":""},{"number":3,"text":"You\u2019re definitely cool.","meaning":"You\u2019re basically the epitome of cool, from your fashion sense to your social circle to even just the way you carry yourself.

People love spending time with you since you bring out the best in them and make life exciting. You always know the best things to do and coolest places to hang out. And you never let trivial, inconsequential things stress you out\u2014you\u2019re way above all of that.

Coolness is Subjective
Lots of people want to be cool, but what does being cool even mean? Coolness is surprisingly hard to pin down and define, mainly because it’s so subjective. One person might think skinny jeans are cool, while another person may think they’re totally outdated. But neither person is right or wrong. Coolness is in the eye of the beholder!
That means you get to define coolness for yourself. And you know what we find truly cool? Someone who embraces who they are and lives life to the fullest. Ready to adopt a coolness mindset? Here are some tips:
- Own who you are. Anyone is capable of being cool. The first step? Embracing the unique things that make you you. Don’t worry about trying to change yourself to fit a certain mold. There’s nothing cooler than someone who knows who they are and doesn’t pretend to be like anyone else.
- Do things you love. Cool people don’t sit around all day trying to look cool. They go out and do things they’re passionate about! Whether that’s hiking a mountain, starting a new painting, road-tripping to a new place, or having a photo shoot with your pets, the important thing is that you’re living life and having fun doing it.
- Be friendly and open-minded.
Despite what you might see in some movies and shows, cool people aren’t mean and rude to others. Instead, genuinely cool people are nice to everyone—it’s part of why they have so many friends! Put yourself out there and be friendly to new people you meet. You never know when you might make a lasting friendship.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can live your best life with a coolness mindset and always be cool, regardless of your circumstances. And remember: you get to define what cool means to you personally.
