Article: If you're outgoing and friendly, you might feel inclined to tell everyone your life story. However, mysterious people aren't open books. Try to minimize the amount of things you disclose about yourself, and when you're asked personal questions, answer them, but just with a few vague words. For example, if someone asks you about a recent breakup you went through, you might say something like, "It just didn't work out." This is an acceptable response, but doesn't reveal anything private about you. This goes hand in hand with speaking minimally. Instead of saying every little thing that pops into your head, think about why you want to say what you're thinking and only verbalize it when you need to. This will give you an air of mystery. Those who are mysterious often observe others more than they steal the spotlight. Focus on taking in your surroundings, listening to what others say, and fading into the background a bit. Not only will this make you more mysterious, but it'll also make you a better conversationalist. When you're really excited or upset about something, think twice before you post it all over social media. To be mysterious, you have to limit how much you disclose about yourself in person and also online. Keep your activity on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat low key. For example, "like" others' posts on Facebook from time to time and post an occasional photo with a brief caption.

What is a summary?
Speak minimally about yourself. Think before you speak. Listen more to others. Self-edit your social media posts.
