One of my adulting brand strategies has been to position myself as a wet blanket. This probably comes from having too much success as a child, chatting up people. So now I actively filter out people who are trying to be impressed. This functions to put me on hard-mode for most public competitions where the lingua franca is a sense of mutual desire to be impressive.
Most of my life since 2005, I introduce myself a strange, but benign individual. That way, I am able to focus on the difference between "impressive" and "presently useful".
