    Get into the habit of - “I don’t know that thing, let’s look up how to do it!”

    Everyone IRL thinks I’m some sort of fucking genius, but I’m just some dude who knows how to type what I don’t know into Google and watch YouTube videos…

      Conversations with my family members…

      Me: I did this interesting thing
      Grandma: You’re so smart, I don’t know how you can do this stuff
      Me: …I looked it up. You could look stuff up too.
      Grandma: Oh, no, I’m not smart like you.
      Me: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
