3:40 yes, kindness does matter. This guy I had a crush on told me that he finds my kindness incredibly attractive... well I'll keep this in mind ahahah

You forgot one important thing. Confidence! Not caring about other people's opinions too much makes you seem like a society yourself! You don't give in easily and you're not a coward!

Edit: I said confidence, not selfishness! To those of you replying to me saying being self-centered makes you seem arrogant, I never said that! Yes, you should always respect other people's opinions and beliefs, but your opinion will not be respected if it disrespects someone else's existence. If you're thinking others should change themselves to please you, then stop running around like the Titanic making your family name sink. If your opinion is different, but doesn't disrespect me or anyone else in any way, then it will be accepted.

I love how you say the sources of the studies you mention! Many just say "according to a study" without adding which study they're talking about.
