Well, the problem is I occasionaly do switch to a "David Brent" impression, and start making random and ridicolous boasts, like:
"Georgio Armini designed this suit for me, well actually I basically designed it, he said to me "Adam thats the best suit I've ever seen in my life, you could millions of pounds doing that" but I said "Nah, I make SHIT LOADS in Financial accounting", but
anyway, he wanted to make it up, it's a one of a kind..."
I was telling a girl at work that last week anyway. But other than joking super arrogance, I really have a hard time acting confident - because basically I am not, and at the back of my mind is always the assumption that people dont really want to hang around me, or that they only will if I make them laugh, and that although people might like me, they wouldnt ever really LIKE me. I mean, objectively, I can see that this is a problem and acting the way I do increases it, but when you really feel it I guess its hard to change.
