It's easy for me to stand up for myself when I'm in a dominant position. But what do you do when you are in an equal or subordinate position?

>>34332129sometimes your the hammer, other times the nail.
I found in my career that simply being intimidating and irascible when you aren't getting your way gets you want you want, not because you are threatening but because you are juts too emotionally draining to fight with
>>34332129No clue, I have the backwards problem. When I am in a dominant position, I become servile and serve the servants. When I am in the subordinate position, I become combative and stand up for myself. I think that you need to believe in your own dominance as if it were innate and immutable and non-dependent on position. I've met many men who, like you, feel dominant because of position. Once that position is kicked away from under their feet, they collapse and can't get back up. So to avoid that what you are supposed to do is stop focusing on your position, let go of hierarchy, and forget about power dynamics. Dynamics are to do with value vs value, (you) vs (other). It depends entirely on someone else to define it for you, and that my friend is a weakness. Even if you dominate them it's still a weakness because it's still a dependency on subordinates to help you feel dominant. A man should not require any help for this, he should chisel it out of himself with his own two hands, no matter what circumstance if life he is in at the time.
>>34332603Ok so how
>>34333824>Ok so howThrow yourself into situations where you are:>Alone>Weak>Scared>Helpless>SufferingAnd then ride that upside-down wave until you are forced with the following curve ball reality throws at you:>FightOr>Perish Then you are forced to fight, survive, find a way and execute as though you were the only man on the planet and your existence depended on you alone, where failure is not an option. This will hammer into you a solid sense of self, a true sense of power, and permanent knowledge that you don't need others to thrive. Survive fights and violence, survive poverty, survive sickness and disease, survive heartache, survive permanent loss, survive your own sick mind, survive the harsh elements, survive the wilderness. Get into survivalism and solo the shit out of hard tasks. Bushcraft, camping, hunting, etc.
>>34332250yes, but thats the most revolting strategy.there are obviously tons of people like this but we have one that perfected this strategy. she just flat out ignores orders if she does not like them and gets hysterical when called out. she will discuss EVERYTHING, every small hickup & just talk very fast while interrupting constantly. she always gets what she wants, always. but everyone secretly fucking hates her.
