Stop sanding down your weird edges. That’s exactly where people get a grip on you.

Smoothness is forgettable. The specific, slightly odd parts of you are what people hold onto, quote later and come back for, while the polished version has slid out of memory by the weekend. Filing those parts off in the name of being agreeable removes the only thing that was distinctive about the whole arrangement. What you take for a rough edge is usually a handle.

Leave one strange opinion, habit or interest unexplained this week. Do not soften the introduction. Anyone who finds it odd was unlikely to remember you regardless.
