I wear grey when I am in the mood to be a ninja. To slip unnoticed through my day, walking through the gaps in people’s perceptions. No one notices, and later, no one can recall. When I’m in the mood to socialize, I wear yellows and reds. Yellow is my favorite color. But charcoal gray or “heather black” is a close second.

So true! I interviewed for a prestigious medical institution and the rigid ex-military physician interviewer said “can you give me a minute? i gotta take a leak” ! Wow! That put me a such ease and made me instantly like him. He was human! We ended chatting for over an hour. And i got into that institution!! Great advice!!

Key concept: This applies only to people who are perfect already. For us normals we should not make jokes about ourselves. Make jokes without punching down or making fun the person in front of you.

Not really, I mean of course it should come from a place of confidence first and you should be respected. But if you’re well groomed and are doing OK in life you’re already respected by default.
Also punching up is really a good tool if you’re not in a position of authority. If you are in a higher position, mainly make jokes about yourself since the other person won’t be able to retaliate. (but you seem to already know that part)

Yes! Laughing at yourself demonstrates authenticity, and it’s quite liberating.
