HOW TO BE INVISIBLE PART TWO
have an everyday ordinary life and an orderly response always be aware of the majority view
dress, move, think unremarkably blandly blur the edges be part of the many never one of the few
consider at all times safety and discretion, the better valour, the bolder aspects not recommended
leave the acts of sudden impulses or the urge to speak out to those happy to be naked, undefended
consider volume, colour, tempo - speak quietly, wear mottled tones and dulled hues, don't walk too fast
never arrive early at a venue, nor sit too close to the front, leave quickly, quietly, neither be first or last
avoid any extreme or intense emotion or response, most particularly sudden anger or bursts of enthusiasm
don't let sexuality be more than moderate pleasure, don't get too abandoned, don't allow yourself orgasm
passion is not to be engaged in, it tends to make a person noisy, and magnetism may make them more evident
better to be controlled neat, mild and remain in middle ground: take care not to elaborate, question or invent
never be noticeably often part of any particular group or trend, or strong opinion, listen and observe and be aware
of changes and hot issues and the dramas of the folk around you - yet look subtly, from the sidelines, never stare
step back and let others take the spotlight, stay close to quiet and shadowy places, but never linger or seem to lurk
don't be loud or rude or particularly funny but avoid any impression of being morose don't step out of line at work
always speak less than others and most briefly without particular indication of strong thoughts, feelings or ideals
stay safe stay quiet agree with the majority view but don't commit be empty never notice never speak of how it feels
in social situations, always aim for unexceptionable behaviour don't be too often part of groups or anything off-beat
but neither should you seem to be reclusive, too withdrawn don't notice anyone familiar if they pass you on the street
when you must look into a mirror to make sure your appearance is acceptable, appropriate, don't look into your eyes
be content and settled in a routine and in a simple world, don't dream or dawdle or invent, become your own disguise.
