Hey @Tfmonkey remember when you said when dealing with normies at work to show them your neck and be self-deprecating so they don't envy you?
Well it hurt my ego but worked like like CHARM and I got and award AND a raise thank you so much!
@basedbagel It helps if you put yourself in a "role" like how Bruce Wayne has to play the role of a billionaire playboy in order to throw off suspicion that he's Batman.
If someone makes fun of him or thinks they're better than him, good. It's just a role Batman has to play to interact with the world.
You're right ut was my ego but I can't help it as I've always had a big ego.
I definitely went to places with no mask so they'd have to give me one or kick me out.
I felt good that I didn't blindly comply but in hindsight I may have been making life harder for myself as my resistance didn't affect any meaningful change .
@ButtWorldsMan @basedbagel @Tfmonkey I call this multiple personality order
@southpole21 @ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey
No It's called Machiavellianism.
I understand your apprehension as I felt the same way at first but trust me this shit WORKS.
I've never had a workplace where people weren't constantly undermining me until now
Like it or not we're behind enemy lines so you have to ghost in plane sight or they'll ruin your life.
Life is hard enough as a man why make it any harder?
You should try it especially if you're a high bell curve guy, after all it's no risk.
@basedbagel @ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey I agree with you. I was just trying to make a joke.
I call it "multiple personality order" because it's logical and works, as opposed to "multiple personality DISorder" which means you're schizophrenic and can't function.
@Tfmonkey I never thought about it like that but that's a fantastic analogy.
It's funny because when I first heard you say that I was apprehensive as I am one prideful bagel.
I can't believe I almost let my pride get in the way my money.
@basedbagel @Tfmonkey This reminds me of Law 46 from The 48 Laws of Power.
I had a different mindset. I wore one among normies for the same reason that Agent 47 wears costumes: to not draw attention. Life is smoother when the zombies think you're one of them.
