My head hurts.
Sometimes I say something really funny and everyone in the room laughs. I usually shut up after that for fear of ruining the moment. I'm pretty good at this part because I hang out with a lot of nerds so I have lots of vicarious experience with other nerds who say something funny but don't know how to quit while they're ahead. I've had the most success socially being mainly reactive/blending in, much like Littlefinger from the A Song of Ice and Fire books (though not like in the show I don't think).

But sometimes I say/do things that only I find cool, solely to amuse myself. Like I'll make a reference that I'm sure no one but me will get and then chuckle to myself. I'm also the type of person who sometimes laughs out loud when they're all alone in a room, which apparently most other people don't do.

Post your thoughts/stories on being just cool as hell and succeeding socially among your peers.

This one time in 6th grade, I farted so bad all the other kids got up and went outside the classroom.

It was just me sitting at my desk and the teacher, who asked in a sarcastic tone, "Son, did you have Taco Bell for lunch?"

I did not, it wasn't even that bad of a fart they kids were just all trying to play up how bad it was to make me seem cooler. Like, "hey that kid is so cool, he can clear a room with a single fart"

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Does being cool involve being an rear end in a top hat to everyone or being desperate for everyone to like you? Some times I get mixed messages from the general pop.

Try saying and doing things that are objectively great, then your brain will be able to straight up dismiss this possibility out of hand
