call me an asshole. I had a very difficult life. I hsve seen people's true colour too often to know most are bad.

even though, now I have financial and academic leverage, I continue to under play my cards. people show their true colours rather quickly when they confuse my humility for weakness.

example, I was at a commission based baby furniture store. I look rather shabby and not well dressed. small unkempt beard. this sales lady I asked for help, she was like wait 20 min , let me take care of something, I look over,she started helping someone who came after me. I waited a bit and asked an older gentleman for help. he wanted to help. bought my 4800$ furniture from him in 15 minutes. that lady was staring the whole time. eventually came and told the Jr salesman, they were my customer. I just said NO loudly.

so ya. hold your colors inside people. let them show theirs.
