Yeah, I feel Alpha SFs get a surprisingly poor rap in general, and I’m not sure why. It might be related to that.
Ash mentioned ESEs can feel overbearing. I get the impression others have similar reasons for disliking them. I find it interesting/funny that ESEs aren’t thought to be manipulative, or selfish, or anything like that — just that they’re too nice, and want to be appreciated. I’m sure some people would be irritated by this, but so many?!
