When people keep guessing, when people keep wondering... that gives you mystery.
The oxford dictionary describes it as: "something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain". Mystery is needed in order to be interesting and classy. It is the most attractive jewelery a person can wear, especially in a world where privacy is striped away. These are 12 ways to keep an aura of mystery.
1. Don't overshare on social media: Some people clip their daily activities on social media like a pinterest board. They are so traceable- it is pathetic.
2. To be mysterious, you have to simply shut up and move in silence. Talking too much can land you in trouble- you never know when what you are saying would get around to other people. Don't be eager to clarify rumours or gossip through the grapevine.
3. Don't go into detail: No one deserves to know all about you in a split second. Let people earn the right to know certain things about you; more so, be discrete about your personal information. You don't have to he over exposed to be seen as genuine or authentic. You definitely, don't have to always reveal what you are doing. Say something and leave the rest to the imagination.
4. Sometimes you don't have to reply or explain yourself to nosy individuals. Let people think what they think about you, you certainly do not have to fill in the gaps. In all honesty, what they think of you is none of your business.
5. Don't wear your emotions on your sleeve: Be less animated, giggly and smiley. Simply put, appear calm and collected. Emotional privacy is really helpful in a professional environment, and it is a sign of maturity.
6. Don't be a pleaser, seeking approval from others. Someone else opinion doesn't have to be your reality. Trying to do so makes you appear desperate.

7. Be yourself: Keep your own individuality. Well, don't fit in, stand out, for authenticity is power.
8. Set boundaries: learn to say no and never anyone to walk all over you.
9. Exude confidence: People smell confidence and are attracted to it. Like they say, "confidence is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
10. Avoid attention seking behaviors. As pink said: "once you've discovered what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention".
11. Be busy: get busy with your goals and dreams; people are not into those that are always available to them, especially men.
12. Shift focus unto the other person: ask people about their lives and problems. People love to be heard and talked to about themselves.
