The difference between IMPRESSIVE and trying too hard TO IMPRESS :

• Impressive is when you enter a party and everybody notice and take turns to say hello-how-are-you. Trying too hard is when you take turns to say hello-how-are-you to everybody then start to pay special attention to people you think matter the most. Fuckin' butt kissers annoy the hell out of me.

• Impressive is when you bought someone a present and they remember it even though the next year maybe you forgot their birthday. Trying too hard is when someone gives you a present and you give them something back like food or chocolate in return the very next day.

• Impressive is when you offered a drink to guests and after a sip they seriously compliment you, you say thank you. Trying too hard is when the guests compliment, you share the recipe and offer to make them some nice food for dinner.

• Impressive is when you wear long-sleeves when it's cold and guys still turn their heads. Trying too hard is when you insist on wearing halter neck on cold windy and rainy days just for the sake of popping half your boobs out.

• Impressive is when you buy fake Gucci wallet and people won't notice. Trying too hard is when you empty your piggy-bank to buy real mink and people pretend to touch your arm while saying hello because they're trying to prove otherwise.

• Impressive is when you call someone and they call you right back after they know. Trying too hard is when you call them over and over and over and over and over and over..and yet they're never there.

• Impressive is when people refuse to let you be the one behind the camera when it's picture time. Trying too hard is running from the toilet with half your skirt still up because you don't want to miss it.

• Impressive is when you ask people for a favor, they happily accept because they like you and not because they feel they have to. Trying too hard is offering to help without being asked.

• Impressive is when your car is messy and people who complains ended cleaning it automatically while saying how unorganized you are. Trying too hard to impress is when you clean your, otherwise messy, car before you pick someone (haha I actually write this point just for the sake of saying I'm impressive)

• Impressive is when you're quiet during the whole meeting and your boss still notices your attendance. Trying too hard is cutting people in the middle of their talks, and arguing your way through friends that now consider you as a threat just so you look smart and capable.

• Impressive is when people don't know you are really the brain behind a great project and yet they still admit you're a great person. Trying too hard is when other people succeeded, you tell everyone you know them and act like they're your best friends (like, in a conversation, you'll hear: Oh yeah, I know her well, she's great. She's a friend of a friend of a relative of my boyfriend's third cousin)

• Impressive is when you help people sincerely. Trying too hard is when you make deals to help other people when you know you're not capable of helping and end up asking other people to help you.
