14 Little Ways To Be Brave

You can be brave in little ways, and the cuties from our Cute or Not app are here to show you how!

1. Go on an adventure!

Apple / Cute or Not

Take a hike in a nearby park! Book a trip to Easter Island! Visit that friend you keep meaning to visit! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

2. Stand up for yourself.

Caramel / Cute or Not

If someone is negative towards you, stand up tall and strong and defend your own honor! YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PIECE OF THIS UNIVERSE AND NOBODY SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY.

3. Try a new food.

Ginger / Cute or Not

Every time you try ANYTHING new, it takes at least a teeny bit of bravery. Walk into a store, find the weirdest thing, and go all in! Or just taste your roommate's new quinoa recipe you've been avoiding.

4. Watch a scary movie by yourself.

Hotch / Cute or Not

Snuggle up and have your mom's number on speed dial. Or if you think you're tough, watch a scary movie in a haunted house OK? Don't say that wouldn't be at least a little creepy.

5. Go first.

Hunter / Cute or Not

Be the first to give your presentation. Or the first in your family to apply to college. Or the first to walk into a dark room. (Hey, being scared of the dark as an adult IS REAL AND TAKES COURAGE.)

6. Admit to your music guilty pleasure so confidently that people can't even make fun of you for it.

Josie / Cute or Not

"I mean sure, Justin Bieber himself may not be the best. BUT THE BOY WRITES HELLA CATCHY SONGS, ALRIGHT?"

7. Talk to someone you don't normally talk to.

Kilo and Gypsy / Cute or Not

Who knows, maybe you and your bus driver are both Game of Thrones nerds. Or maybe that guy from two cubicles down has a really awesome dog that he likes to tell stories about. Or maybe the woman passing out pamphlets for the new pizzeria on your block is really just having a rough day and feels better knowing there are still people who care.

8. Make intense eye contact with someone.

Kitty / Cute or Not

For many, prolonged eye contact takes a bit of bravery! You could have a moment with someone and really experience what it means to be a part of humanity. Or you might just undergo some awkwardness and not feel the need to hold intense eye contact ever again but HEY, you'll be able to pat yourself on the back for at least doing it!

9. Be a flirt.

Monty / Cute or Not

Use a drop of bravery to slip someone your number, or chug the Bravery Bottle and make your move to ask your crush in person out on a date!

10. Listen to your heart.

Poppy / Cute or Not

Sometimes one of the hardest and scariest things is just doing what you really want. But it's the most worth it.

11. Smile at someone who looks sad.

Riley / Cute or Not

Smiles are like an unspoken superpower. Use them for good!

12. Find a stage and GET UP THERE.

Rosie / Cute or Not

Maybe you've been working on some stand-up, or you only sing in the shower, or you've always just wanted to stand in front of a bunch of strangers and wave at them. TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO DO IT!

13. Change up your style! Be a Fancypants McGee if you want!

Willy / Cute or Not

Bow-ties are spectacular accessories that are entirely under-appreciated.

14. Tell someone how you really feel.

Winter and Spring / Cute or Not

Maybe you need to tell your mom you love her. Or admit to your crush that they're your crush. Or maybe you just really need to tell Dave that if he's going to keep bringing fish in for lunch then he needs to buy an air freshener.
