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.
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.
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 .
