I am trying to get myself to become a bad boy. But this isn't easy for a guy who has been called nice his whole life. I also care about school. How do I become a bad boy by changing my attitude, my fashion, and in my conversations?
Any examples from movies/TV would help, along with analysis.
Basically, I could use an idiot's guide to becoming a bad boy (right down to non-verbals and fashion).
First things I worked on in school were badboy fashion (I got a cool leather coat, a pair of sunglasses, and slicked back my hair), movement (slow movement), and comments (people would whine or complain about things and I'd be like, "Whatever, who cares; just do it, or don't, but either way talking about it isn't going to do you any good"). These are pretty simple to start working on, and should FEEL cool to you so you'll enjoy doing them once you've gotten just a little bit comfortable.
Think of the bad boy's core attitude as being, "Oh, your life is hard? Too bad. Fix it or shut up about it already." Everyone else is sitting around in a pity party holding each other's hands dabbing tears off one another's cheeks trying to make each other feel better about failure. The bad boy doesn't have time for this because he's too busy monkeywrenching with life to figure out new ways to win at stuff he previously wasn't winning at.
You really have to stop having much respect for people who aren't doing what they WANT, and for yourself when YOU aren't doing what you want, until you START doing what you want, whatever that is.
