Hey guys.
Short post but i’m wondering if I should start feeding my arrogance a bit more. I’ve never had the problem of being a stereotypical nice guy with supplication esque behaviors but I think i’m getting kind of soft.
I used to be pretty loudly arrogant with my actions and tonality and frames but I diverged into a more quiet self assuredness. This killed any polarizing reactions from others but also increased the amount of people who took my kindness for weakness.
Which was okay because I could quickly check them or shrug them off. But now I think my ego is very much so weakening. I still don’t supplicate of course but I find myself second guessing and passing tests way less adeptly.
I feel as though since I stopped feeding my ego and glorifying my own accomplishments, feats, and things I take pride in, I’m neutering my own self esteem in the process and losing my edginess/charisma that i’ve always had.
I don’t think it’d be hard to reenstate the asshole portion of my personality as it’s been there since a kid even though i’m very much so empathetic toward others.
The question is should I? As there’s conflicting advice on being an asshole.
If I had to put myself on a scale i’d say i’m in between being nice guy and asshole where as I used to be way more so asshole probably 70%.
Should I take a vacay from toning down my arrogance and just indulge in my own greatness? lbvs
