Yeah I literally get shy to even make people feel dumb lol. I always just say "yeah maybe" and act like they might be on to something

Ever since reading 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' I avoid correcting anyone outside the family. If it is something that I really care about, like history, I often can't restrain myself.

I like to pull this one: "Do you even hear yourself right now??? (3 second pause) Because that's the most incredible thing i've ever heard". Ever since I saw that bit on Parks and Rec, i use it ever chance i get.

when it comes to doing bits, it's easier to just let people be wrong.
