When Sophie called her hair “crazy,” she didn’t mean that it was a little messy or disheveled. She purposely gave herself a truly hilarious ‘do that would probably have been the height of fashion in Dr. Seuss’s Whoville. It involved about a foot of hair standing straight up on top of the woman’s head! This bizarre ponytail was fastened by colorful ribbons for a bit of extra flair.

Wearing her crazy hair with confidence, Sophie approached the barista as if nothing were out of the ordinary. After ordering her drink, she sat down in the middle of the coffee shop to make sure that everyone could see her. Then, she filmed the reactions of the other patrons — or, rather, the lack thereof. Everybody else was way too busy enjoying their own drinks and chatting with their friends to even notice Sophie’s funny hairstyle!

“Honestly, the world isn’t gonna stop spinning if you embarrass yourself or if you do something that’s out of your comfort zone,” the young woman reiterated. “You have to step out of your comfort zone to prove that nothing happens.”

Obviously, it’s not always true that people won’t notice if you do something odd in public. However, Sophie reassured her viewers that even this wouldn’t be the end of the world.

“You really have to drill into your mind that what people think of you actually can’t hurt you,” she said. “And who’s to say they’re thinking anything bad?”

Now, it’s your turn to do something you’re afraid of. Go out there and be silly!
