Thanks to everyone who has shared these stories. I have a question.
How many of these alphas were crazy or borderline crazy? Not trying to be a dick, not trying to make light/fun. Some people mentioned have passed away, I mean no disrespect.
I wish I could just not give a fuck. I am not a white knighter or anything like that. I am just in a position (have always been) where there were consequences to my actions. Therefore, I really had to want to pay the price to pull the trigger on certain behaviors. I don't tolerate bs in my life, but I am not the first to give it to others. I am a joker, etc. but I won't give anyone disrespect because then I can't justify anything I did afterwards if that makes sense. In other words, I shouldn't be surprised I got punched in the face if I started by being a dick.
I wonder if some of it has to do with the environment a person grows up in. It seems some of the people posting grew up in tougher and rougher environments than myself and that required quickly learning ways to survive. I am not trying to make any accusations or anything. I am just trying to understand. I grew up sheltered, I won't lie. It has created more than its fair share of complications when I deal with people and can't grasp why people do the shit they do, but granted I didn't have their childhood.
Because sometimes, it seems the "alpha" behavior that people talk about comes off to me as reckless. But like I said, I grew up always understanding consequences. But trust me there are plenty of things I didn't learn while growing up. Trying to catch up on that stuff.
Thanks for the time and no offense intended.
