I don’t need to “pretend” to have class or respect because I earn it naturally..through who I am and how I carry myself. And guess what? I already did. So, you can keep your piece of advice, seal it in an envelope of whatever color u want, and keep it safe. You might need it someday.
Your idea of class seems to revolve around societal norms of appearances and illusions, but let me tell u, it isn’t about hiding realities or dressing things up to make them more palatable. It’s about authenticity, confidence, and owning who you are without pretense. So, spare me the etiquette lesson, I don’t need it.
