>I wish I could be like that but I'm just not cut out for it.
If you are a good person and can follow direcions, people like me used to meet people like you, mentor you, and get you on a good path while teaching you how to deal with social situations in your skill set
Those days are kinda drying up. People feel like they are legit brainwashed. I don't have a solution sadly. I try to do what I can.
>You seem like you'd be a good friend anon, I'm sure the people in your life value how strong-willed and principled you are.
Yes, I mostly am a good friend cause I will go to bat for people I care about and help them. Legit help them, not just text them a how to listicle.
>How did your exes handle that though?
Out of the two I meantioned.
>Fashion designer had a love/hate relationship with it but realized I knew what I was talking about. She loved how I took control sexually and felt adored and loved how I would figure out big things so she wouldn't sweat the small stuff. Then when the eating disorder took over she tried controling me and it became hate.
>Lawyer loved it but wanted to wield it as a tool and have control over me. It was strange. We were friends first and foremost who developed feels. When she wasn't desperately trying to be cool or overselling me to other friends then getting upset that I didn't live up to the hype she said that I didn't know she was saying, she could be a great friend.... but its hard to tell if the "genuine" moments are actually her or the trying to act cool is actually her, cause she does the later more than the former. However nothing got her wetter than seeing me in a debate or tear someone down or overall looking powerful.
She was obsessed with power, and I have learned people obsessed with being near "power" usually are incapable of being powerful on their own.
hence why when her "plans" failed she'd go straight to slutting it up
