The solution to this problem that I use is to just never talk to anybody ever during recess. In most school environments, you’re either a little kid, THAT KID (we all knew/know one), or a cool kid (well at least in Canada). Since I’m not a little kid or THAT KID, by default I’m a cool kid. It’s easier to be cool than it looks, just don’t be a jerk or a weeb and you’ll be golden.
