Then I must be gamma (lol @ huitzi) because I've always had a propensity to spin social webs in real life interactions. And I would always plan ahead, and anticipate how people would react, etc. You guys are taking the word "web" and connecting it to "network" which you assume is Fi because it's a static field, but that's erroneous and an overly-literal interpretation.Originally Posted by snegledmaca
That's not really how I came to that conclusion. I just looked at all me and my friends, and it's not something we're good at. And I'm supposedly this thing called 'IEI' which means I valueYou guys are taking the word "web" and connecting it to "network" which you assume is Fi because it's a static field, but that's erroneous and an overly-literal interpretation., as do people I enjoy associating with. So yes, I came to my conclusions once again based on internal experiences rather than external logic. But sue me. I'm usually right anyway. I just use a different process.
How specifically? It's a lot more than livening up a crowd or spinning social webs for their own fun sake of socializing. It's putting people in their niches to offer their most productivity or something. I don't know. I'm not Gamma. Their way of behaving is foreign to me. I think you're missing the point that this person seems to want social situations 'to go places' and it just had this business-y vibe to it that I don't see any Beta really having. We're about changing and confronting business not conforming to them.Then I must be gamma (lol @ huitzi) because I've always had a propensity to spin social webs in real life interactions.
It's just riding off of the waves of artificial emotion for entertainment, pinning people against each other, keeping them guessing, and watching them act stupid, lol. Maybe I misinterpreted the person's post, but that is where I'm coming from. I just always sort of enjoyed using the social scene as entertainment, something to fall back on and toy with.
To me that's not Beta, Gamma, or Delta. That's Alpha. The nihilistic eternal child playfulness you describe just reeks of Alpha. That is, if this theory is worth its weight.It's just riding off of the waves of artificial emotion for entertainment, pinning people against each other, keeping them guessing, and watching them act stupid, lol.
Betas do this too. But we're more epic and serious than that. If you're doing it just COMPLETELY for the fun of it, than you are Alpha.I just always sort of enjoyed using the social scene as entertainment, something to fall back on and toy with.
No, I do it for entertainment because it's fun. It has nothing to with SiFe; that is retarded. Stop misrepresenting functions. I have talked to gammas who tell me they have done the same things. The fact that I do it is enough proof; there's no way I'm alpha.
Oh yeah, the stereotypes grrr betas are into dramatic emotional expression. Give me a break. The reason I did it was manipulative, not some dumbass alpha desire to enjoy the present emotional atmosphere.Betas do this too. But we're more epic and serious than that. If you're doing it just COMPLETELY for the fun of it, than you are Alpha.
Not really lol, it was just that the normal social environment was only good for entertainment, and most people weren't worth the effort, so I just got what I wanted out of it.
Here's another quote of his I've paraphrased:
I find it a constant struggle to prove my sincerity to people; it is very important for me to be sincere, kind, thoughtful to everyone. That's a problem of mine - trying to be a blessing to too many people and ending up being a blessing to none or few. People can take my lack of follow-through to be insincerity, but I'm just out there trying to please a million other people!
I wouldn't say I'm emotionally needy. I only come across like that if I feel the person dislikes me. I will go over the top and be a bit gushy (pretty much just plain gross) and smothering in my attempt to regain that person's love. Hating me is a good way of getting my attention. I wouldn't be needy in the slightest in a normal relationship. If anything, I'd be slightly distant in the (still) constant attempt to get everyone to like me.
Nick an Alpha - w00t. Yeah, no - it's more like Cracka's describing. Not an entertainment thing - sincerely trying to be on good terms with everyone so that things don't come back to bite him ... and so that good things can potentially come of the relationships.
I think there may be quite a difference in your "social web" vs. this person's.
This guy does it through being "good" to people:
"I could talk to someone about a project I'm working on, and if I leave on a good note, then he'll have positive feelings towards me ... "
"put a little effort into getting people "on your side", establishing a connection with them"...
I hardly think you are anything like this person... if so you'd be considerably different to people on this forum, in my opinion.
