- Catalina Rin would like to know:
- "My friends are hanging out without me.
How do I get included?"
- This was my struggle in high school.
I was always being that one friend.
- Don't be that person who wants to get included into everything.
It kind of gives people the bad vibe
and kind of makes you look needy.
- Find a new friend, and then you could hang out with her.
- Get some new friends. Hang out with yourself.
There's nothing wrong with hanging out with yourself.
- Just say, "Come on. Guys, I'm your friend.
What are you guys doing? I want to play."
If they still don't let you play, then they're not really good friends.
- The only way to get included is if you plan it.
They can't kick you out of your own plan.
- Throw a surprise party and invite them
and don't tell them who invited them.
- There might be a reason they're hanging out without you,
so you might want to brush your teeth, change your shirt.
- Don't worry too much about it.
Don't let it upset you,
but rather try and find out what the reason is.
- Just ask to be included.
"The next time you guys go to the movies,
I would love to go."
- Always ask. Say, "Mind if I hang out with you?"
Maybe they don't realize that they have left you out.
- They probably don't even realize that they're excluding you,
so I would talk to them directly and tell them how you're feeling.
- If they're hanging out, you could say,
"Oh, you wanna play this one game? It's really fun."
And then you could probably get them to play
and then they're hanging out with you.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell them.
- Sergio Manzanares asks:
- "How do I win an Oscar?" Hmm.
- I'm 69 years old and I still don't have an Oscar,
so I don't have the answer to that.
- You have to be a very, very, very, VERY good actor.
- Be a good actor.
Cry a lot and just don't suck.
- Star in a really, really good film
with really good supporting actors and actresses.
- Make a great movie.
Sad movies always win an Oscar.
- Be an actor!
Do something really touching-- usually playing someone
with a disability always works.
- You can win an Oscar. I believe in you.
You have to work your butt off.
- You have to get an agent, go through acting classes.
It would take an easy 20 years.
- Don't be Leonardo DiCaprio...
'cause he can't get an Oscar!
- Egan Snopek-- I like your name.
- "How do I survive an alien invasion?"
- You really believe in aliens?
Really?
Uh...
- Give all the aliens big, big, big wedgies,
so their underwear goes all the way over their space helmet.
- Go to a fallout shelter and hide under ground.
- This is kind of like a zombie apocalypse, but they're more intelligent.
You need to get a really good shelter,
maybe make it out of titanium.
You've gotta be set for any occasion!
- Try to stay away from populated areas.
- Hide. There you go. Hide.
- Hide or you would confront them.
- Make friends with them if they find you.
You know, just kill them with kindness.
- Watch those doomsday prepper people.
They're crazy.
- Make yourself disgusting so the aliens will be like--
they see that and they're like, "No! Got to go. Gotta blast!"
And go to a different planet.
- A computer virus, a glass of water,
the common cold.
I believe those are all good options for you.
- You want to train your mind because that's how
you're gonna out-trick them
because I'm pretty sure most aliens
are gonna be smarter than the human race,
so if you're above them on an intellectual level,
you're already winning.
- Forget about that and think about surviving things more important,
like how you're gonna get through life
or how you're gonna get through school
or how you're gonna get a good job.
- bob bob asks:
- "What is the best age to be and why?"
- I can't answer that 'cause I've only hit 18.
- Probably being a baby 'cause everyone takes care of you.
- Three or two.
A lot of people are like, "Oh, you're so cute!"
And then you get complimented a lot.
- 13!
Because you're a teenager.
- I would either choose 19 or 21.
19 'cause you're still on the brink of a teenager,
but you're also kind of an adult,
and then 21 'cause you can drink.
- 22 and you're good.
'Cause I heard this song once-- "I'm feeling 22, how about--"
Something like that? Is that a song or something?
- 26.
You have the maturity of an older person,
but you're still young and youthful
and can still make stupid mistakes.
- 28.
That is when you're fit and healthy,
and you're not too old so your bones don't crack.
- Probably when you're hitting your thirties or so
'cause you're out of those awkward twenty-somethings.
- Seeing as how I haven't died yet, I'd think 69 is the best age to be.
- TwentyOne 2211 asks:
- "How do I get out of an awkward text?"
- Is that something you're reading?
I don't quite get the question, 'cause if it's something you're reading,
I mean, just put the book down and read something else.
- Don't respond.
- Don't reply.
- Send a thumbs up and just don't respond after that.
- The good thing about texting is you're not face-to-face,
so write, "Ha, ha," or an emoji or something
and just kind of shut it down.
- You make it even more awkward so it seems like you guys
are having a funny joke.
- Turn off your cellphone, or whatever you're texting on.
- Say, "Oh, my phone's dying!"
- Make up an excuse that you're busy right now.
- Say, "Oh, dude, I'm sorry. I have to go."
Even though you're completely lying and you're just laying down
on the couch watching TV.
- Answer it in a very easy way
that you wouldn't have to really repeat what was in it.
- If it it's really awkward, bro, just delete it
and when he texts you back be like, "Yo, new phone. Who did this?"
That's it.
