I had to get the dictionary for that one. Thanks. I'm glad I appear that way but according to Merriam-Webster I think composure is closer to the truth. Fake it til you make it. or something like that.

Quote:
synonyms equanimity , composure , sangfroid mean evenness of mind under stress. equanimity suggests a habit of mind that is only rarely disturbed under great strain <accepted her troubles with equanimity>. composure implies the controlling of emotional or mental agitation by an effort of will or as a matter of habit <maintaining his composure even under hostile questioning>. sangfroid implies great coolness and steadiness under strain <handled the situation with professional sangfroid>.
