Not caring what people think vs impressing them

2. Thanks, will think about that

I don't know if this applies to what you said, but I remember a job interview, and the lady interviewer said you should give a big smile to every patient that comes to the counter (it was a place where you took patient information before their doctor appointment). She said it doesn't count that you are smiling on the inside, you need to smile on the outside.

Isn't that why con artists do so great, because people buy their schtick.
