For instance, if you aren't used to taking a particular drink, then there's no need to impress your rich friend or acquaintance because that's what everyone else is taking. Don't try to speak with a different accent, don't wear something that you aren't comfortable with just to impress them. just be yourself. Let them like you for who you are, not the image of a perfect person that you are trying to show off to them.
