Throw your phone away

You: Ekwensu eh romance mamiwater.
Run

Never use your real name
David where? Better look for a name in a language nobody has heard before. And make sure you change it every month.
Be unavailable
Go offline, stay indoors, leave your employer guessing then show up on the fifth day and blame it on your alter ego. You may lose your job, but at least, you’ll have more time to be mysterious.
Sleep with your eyes open
If you really want to leave people guessing, make sure you’re lying face up. Are you asleep? Are you awake? Are you a cultist? No one knows.
Challenge people to staring contests
Walk up to random people and say nothing. Just open your eyes wide and stare at them. Even if they ask you questions, don’t answer. They’ll either fight you or run away. Either way, mystery wins.
Get a scar
How you want to get this is entirely left to you, TBH. Just make sure it’s somewhere people can see and ask about it.
Ask all the questions
Whenever someone asks you a question, eye them and walk away. We’re not sure how you’ll do your next job interview sha.
