In Japanese media, especially anime and manga, a 'tsundere' (pronounced 'tsun-deh-ruh') is someone (usually a woman) who before feels like she feels nothing for another, but actually has a softer side that is protective. and is loving. At first, a tsundere's "meanness" can manifest itself in a variety of ways, from selfish and reserved to very short-tempered. In the Japanese media there are both male and female tsunderes, and this trait is sometimes seen as desirable. If you want to learn to act like a tsundere, this article is perfect for you!

Method 1 of 2: Look tsundere

It's up to you if you want to look tsundere, but many tsunderes (especially girls) have a specific look that they stick to.

1. Dress in clothes that look expensive. Many tsunderes are spoiled and / or rich, and some want to look really neat. Although there are no tsundere dress rules, it is best to dress expensive and stylish, for example with a neat sweater and jeans without holes, or else a cute dress. Look at the types of clothes you can wear to match a typical tsundere's style.
   • Some tsunderes dress in that typical way, or sometimes (for the girls) in a more boyish style. You don't have to dress very expensive to look like a tsundere. Many tsunderes even look quite normal.
2. Take good care of your hair. Just think about it for a moment: do you see a lot of tsunderes with hair that's less than perfect? Taking care of your hair is an important part of being tsundere. With greasy, uncombed hair, you will look less like a tsundere and more like a mad otaku.
   • Tsundere girls often have long hair, which they sometimes turn up in tails on either side of the head. This is not necessary to be a tsundere, but it is a nice addition.
3. Consider dressing like a specific tsundere. If there is a specific tsundere you like, you can look at his or her clothes and hair and consider mimicking him or her. You don't want to copy their style exactly - you're not a clone, of course - but many tsunderes have a clear style that you can copy more globally. Maybe you can create your own tsundere style!
4. Check out "zettai ryouiki" if you often wear skirts or shorts. Many tsundere girls wear thigh-length stockings with short skirts or pants; in Japan this is called "zettai ryouiki". There are many varying "levels" of this, with tsundere girls usually wearing Level A or Level B (stockings that come to the thighs, with shorts or skirts). If you want to boost your tsundere image, take a look at zettai ryouiki.
   • Zettai ryouiki is quite sexualized, so if you don't feel comfortable with it, of course you don't have to wear it; it is a personal choice. You don't have to wear something you don't feel comfortable with to be a tsundere.
5. Make sure you look good in your school uniform. In many anime there is a focus on high school-aged main characters, so you often see tsunderes wearing school uniforms. If your school has a uniform, do everything you can to make sure it looks its best. Tuck in or roll up, tuck in or look for similar clothes to make yourself look your best.
   • If your school does not have a uniform, consider dressing in a uniform style. Not only will this help you look more tsundere, but it will also look neater than a regular outfit like jeans and T-shirt.
6. Consider choosing something like your personal item to always carry with you. Some tsunderes (not all) carry something that goes with them and represents their style and personality. This could be something small, such as a book, a telephone accessory or a piece of jewelry; but it can also be something big and clear, usually something cute. If you want to carry something like this with you, think about what you like and consider wearing something like that. Be creative!
   • Don't carry a gun! Although you may want to carry a wooden katana with you, like Taiga Aisaka from Toradora!, carrying a gun can give you serious legal problems, especially at school. Stick to something that won't be seen as dangerous.

Method 2 of 2: Do Tsundere

1. Be sharp and bold in public. Of course, don't be smart with authority figures - you're just asking for trouble! - just be a little bit aggressive, and don't give off a "fuck with me" look; this will convey the right image. Don't be arrogant, pretend that people are generally lower than you, with your friends as the exception.
   • Don't be unkind to people you don't know. You shouldn't just call someone an idiot for asking you to show them the way. If the person is unknown or almost unfamiliar, be polite, but aloof.
   • Good manners to be bold and edgy are to be sarcastic and subtle rude.
2. Be harder on the one you like. A common trait of tsunderes is that they act a little harder and meaner towards the person they are in love with to try to hide their feelings. They may be playing "hard-to-get" - this is very common with tsunderes - with a constant back-and-forth, love-hate relationship. Do this! Be a little cheeky with the person you're in love with (but not so cheeky that they don't like you), and go back and forth between love and hate. This is a typical tsundere trait.
   • If the person you like is in love with someone or already has a partner, be extra rough with them. By subtly insulting that person, you can convey what you feel about the person you're in love with, without actually revealing it. Of course, keep in mind that this can also work against you if the person you are in love with finds out that you are being mean to the person he or she likes.
   • If your friends ask if you like that person, reprimand them (eg, "Idiot! I would never like [the name of the person you love!").
3. Show a sweet side of yourself in private. Whether you're with your friends or the one you like, it's good to show your sweet, nicer side when there are no others around. Don't let that hard attitude completely disappear, but it does soften it. Show them your sweet side - they want to see this side. Be nice during private moments, and they'll want more and more of this.
   • If your friends or those you like are sensitive and don't like your harder side, apologize in these private moments. Clearly let them know that while they are of course important to you, you have another way of showing that. Let them know that they are valuable to you, but be subtle (and maybe a little ambiguous).
4. Be passive aggressive with everything. Tsunderes are known for being passive aggressive towards anything, be it something small or big. Being passive aggressive and pretending everything is just a minor inconvenience is a good way to behave your tsundere. Ambiguous compliments and irritated comments will put you on the right track.
   • Typical passive aggressive comments used by tsunderes include, "It's not like I [care / like / think about you] or anything ...", "I don't mean this. you done! I did it because I wanted to! "," Idiot! "And"So isn't it! ".
   • If you're giving someone a gift, a good comment is, "Well, I would something But I think you deserve it. "In this last part, you can also sigh or roll your eyes.
5. Get rid of your emotions in front of people you don't know well. If you are upset about something, pretend it is anger or frustration, or give up a reserved, it-doesn't-matter-attitude. Blame it on someone else (eg. "That teacher is like that stupid. "), And don't let strangers know how you really feel. Keep in mind that tsunderes are usually very closed off due to their harsh appearance; you don't want to be an open book of emotions.
   • You can of course just have emotions, there is nothing wrong with feeling what you feel. Tsunderes don't often show their vulnerable, emotional side to strangers. If you have to cry, see a good friend you trust.
   • For your own emotional well-being, it is important not to really blame others, but to let yourself talk about your emotions. If you know you're wrong, take responsibility and find someone you can talk to.
6. Be less sharp over time. Remember, if tsunderes don't show a happier side over time, they're no better than simply nasty people. Tsunderes also really care about those they feel are worth their time, so be kinder to those you have around you a lot, such as acquaintances and the ones you like. This will show that you really care, and that your tough stance is just a mask or defense mechanism.
7. Reply when someone provokes something from you. When a response is provoked from a tsundere, they respond too for real, with vengeance. If someone bumps into you, you can respond with, "Hey, watch your step, you idiot!" For good effect, and if someone is mean to you or trying to bully you, respond powerful - you are simply a tsundere. Take it a bit further than you already do!
   • Never physically attack anyone. With that constant hitting and attack that you see in anime and manga, you will end up in the police cell in real life. A light slap on an upper arm might work for some, but only if they don't mind playful slapping.
8. Don't go too far with the tsundere stance. You try to be a tsundere not verbally violent towards anyone you interact with. Remember that Tsunderes don't really want to hurt people - they just want an "I can do this without you, better than you" attitude. Do not bully or verbally attack people, especially when unjustified. Doing this will only drive people away from you.
   • Never deliberately target someone's weaknesses. If you know that the social skills of your friend or the person you like are sensitive, don't attack them. This can seriously hurt their self-esteem and will most likely drive them away from you. Who wants to be friends with a bully?
9. If you accidentally go too far, take a step back. Something that is often ignored is the fact that sometimes tsunderes cause real emotional pain, or cross boundaries and attack things that are sensitive to others. In real life, people will stand up for themselves a lot more when you hurt them than in anime or manga. If you do hurt someone, apologize right away and take a step back. You will likely be watched by everyone, and you don't want to end up without friends. Tsunderes can admit that they are wrong and are nice. Being a tsundere is all about revealing your softer side to others.

Tips

• If you want to relate to the origins of the name "tsundere", watch anime such as Toradora !, Hayate no Gotoku, Sugar Sugar Rune (this contains both male and female tsunderes) and the classic, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama. If you are a boy then watch Nagi no Asukara, because the tsundere in this is a boy.
• Remember to be sincere. The appeal of a tsundere complex is precisely the struggle of not wanting to become emotionally intimate, along with the emotional reward of earning the respect and love of a tsundere.
• Be strong and confident because you don't need a partner at the end of the day to be happy. That is, at least, the mindset you want to achieve. You're mean, rude, and full of cheek, and that's exactly how you want it!
• Be nice to your friends, but in a shy-nervous way, tell them to shut up when they say something stupid or make an inappropriate joke. Try to blush and look angry, and make fists with your hands.
• Don't be too extreme. Don't just hit someone if they accidentally bump into you or something like that.
• It may seem like a good idea to say "baka" instead of "idiot", "stupid" or something else along those lines, but it is not. Most people will think that you are acting like a weeaboo and that you are immature, or they will just get annoyed and ignore you. In any case, you will not be taken seriously.
• Take good care of your hair and skin. This may sound stupid at first, but over time it can really help you. Remember that tsunderes have well-groomed hair and they have near-perfect skin due to good skin care. Try a ten-step K-Beauty skincare routine to help you with your skin, using shampoo and conditioner made for your hair type and needs.
• Always keep in mind that the people around you have the right of way: if your mother teases you playfully, tease back, don't be aggressive or mean.

Warnings

• Don't go too far. Most tsunderes have friends; you don't want to scare people away from you.
• You might think it would be nice to say "baka" instead of "idiot", but to others it seems like you don't have a life outside of anime (which is not seen as positive).
• Being a tsundere isn't about being mean or rude to someone else. While a tsundere is competitive on the one hand, he or she is very nice on the other and likes to get along well with people. Tsundere is not to be confused with shy, psychopathic, or arrogant.
