For example when my friend and I are out for dinner he orders for me and gives me directions. This is only since this sub.
I notice it, acknowledge but ignore it, i dont assert my dominance back. But this has happened a few times. And Im sure I will
eventually say something. But for now Im being the cool calm and collected Alpha. Because theres no need to show my dominance.
i do however feel more calm.
It sounds like you're projecting something new (from AM7) that is making him uncomfortable and he's trying to pull this kind of bullshit. Makes me think sometimes friends telling me where to park and where to turn and stuff when i'm capable of it and it annoys me but I don't usually say anything.
On a previous DMSI I did security an an old friend who I had a falling out with was head security for the night. He obviously didn't like something I was projecting. He wanted me to walk around with him and collect glasses which is fine, but he started being a massive dick like "pick up that glass, pick up that glass" then I picked up one he didn't say and he was like "no not that one" and snatched it off me and put it down. I had enough and said "Look, I know how to do my fucking job".
He just went quiet, gave me a weird look and said nothing and didn't come near me for the rest of the night. Fucking stupid. My other mate working said "I'm surprised you lasted that long, I knew what was going to happen when I seen how he was acting towards you".
But people can respond in weird ways when you suddenly start projecting something different. Whether it's their insecurities or that they aren't used to you acting like this so have to give you some shit to see if it's legit or whatever it is.
On AM6 I moved on from my whole friendship group after standing up for myself a few times and in the end I realized how negative they are, and tons of lies and bs especially from the 'leader' of the group.
Yes, something feels different in the Dynamic with my friendship now, theres definitely a change. He is assuming control and leading, where in the past we have been mutual. i also am getting a lot of guys just looking at me, just staring. I neutralise it by nodding.
Started cycle 2. lets see what the next few cycles brings.
