Smiled
Always nice to chat with a happy person, just something to look forward to, something to smile about after.

He worries that his jokes are not funny enough, that he is not assertive enough to be respected. He is worried his assertions will mark him as a fool, an idiot. No one likes an idiot, he knows this. But the truth is he is a fraud. Everything anyone sees is a carefully crafted facade. An image he thinks people.want to love. He is the fool for creating this ludicrous construct, simply be yourself even if you are not going to come up with those witty lines in the songs you love.
