How to Behave

[samijiben]

What is the best mode of behavior considering the circumstances? How would you carry yourself, speak, use body language, and make an effort to connect with others?

Let's say you have all the above under control: you can choose how to act. 

Depending on what kind of folk you find yourself with, and considering what goal you have, granted that you have one, you would want to optimize your behavior accordingly. 

Let's say you want to make an impression of being the smartest one in the room, by far? 

So, how would you act? What would you do? How would you use all the communicative tools at your disposal, like the subtelities of body language, tone of speech, and even such specifics as eye contact and blinking frequency... — to achieve your goal?

Let's say the goal is to come across as a respectful, humble person — same questions apply. How would you optimize your behavior to this end?

Let's say the goal is to be seen as confident and mature?

Let's say the goal is to be seen as no-one, that is, not to be seen, to blend into the room, to fit in naturally, to "become one of them?"

I could go on. There are all kinds of different goals you may have considering the circumstances, the people you are with, and how you wish them to perceive you.

So, for each desired outcome, how would one optimize their behavior to achieve it?

There are obviously so many factors at play here such as where you are, who you are with, what they are doing, and much more. 

Still, I want answers, people!
