Did you ever watch 'Big Bang Theory'. Did you see... Whatever episode where Sheldon's mother says 'Aw, c'mon Sheldon, didn't you get your *ss kicked enough for that, as a kid?'
I think there is an element of that.
How he could be... Obstinate, sometimes. The thing to do is the nodding and smiling 'yes sir, no sir, anything you say sir' social smoothing... And I can't / won't do it. I just can't / won't. The whole social game of 'I pat your back so you will pat mine' - I find it psychopathic. I won't play that game.
No matter how much they kick my *ss for it.
People say 'you catch more flies with honey' - but what do they want with catching flies?
I feel like... People who would rather play that game... People who don't get to know me on my merits and come to value the fact that I don't play that game - those are the people whose opinion matters most to me...
But where has it got me in life.
?
So, I don't know.
