Make yourself uncomfortable

[Dahaarkan]

It's interesting to hear different ways of dealing with life situations, I personally take a different approach. I know some respond to such with disapproval since it does not suit them personally but I think it's cool nonetheless.

I have an opposite approach when it comes to this kind of thing. I am very cold and neutral, and ignore many of these things. Not that I am blind to them but when someone believes themselves in control they have their guard down.


When someone is comfortable, and believe themselves in control they are vulnerable to mental poisons and you can influence them relatively easily. People who obsess with being in a position of leadership are often easily manipulated by those who allow them to assume that role. Hardly ever realizing that in truth they are being influenced by the people they think are beneath them and have control over.

It is relatively easy especially when you are in between two of these people, to poison their minds against one another and have them ruin each other creating a vacuum for you to take advantage of.


When people underestimate you, think you weak and defenseless, they open themselves to your influence as a result of believing you are not a threat in any way. I imagine to you this sounds unthinkable. Just different modus operandi.

The last thing I'd want is for someone who could be useful for me is for them to feel humiliated or uncomfortable in my presence. I want them not only to like being in my presence but also pursue it more and more. And never perceive me as a threat or even see me as someone with ambitions or greater goals.

I suppose in a way be aware and careful about the way you handle these affairs as your advantages can be turned on you if you open yourself to the wrong person and believe you have them under your thumb.

People who operate like this sometimes have rude awakenings when someone who they believed was inferior to them then tramples them like a stairway towards their goals.

This is becoming another discussion like all threads that discuss any ideas, methods or modus operandi outside of what is generally accepted as the "norm".

The reality is that success requires no explanation. Others will seize opportunities and advantages, will accomplish and conquer, while you sit in a room contemplating the morality of such actions.

Others will think outside the box and seek ways to gain advantages while you sit there thinking of reasons as to why you shouldn't do everything in your power to succeed.


This ties into the defeatist and loser mindset that many have and I have written about this. In which their minds will seek reasons to fail and reasons not to do things, rather than seeking solutions and methods of obtaining success.

These people are also internally bitter at themselves and then project it towards others. Condemning anybody who dares to seek solutions and methods of being successful. I hope you continue to find success in all your endeavors.

Not at all. In fact I advocated for such a modus operandi right in my first ever post on this forum.
I operate similarly to you most of the time.

However, there are situations where another modus operandi is called for.
If your goal is to buy something at half asking price, you know that most of the time you won't get a deal, if ever.
The domination & humiliation approach gives you a good chance.
The goal is to filter out those that have strong positions in a two stage filter, in order to waste the least amount of effort and time.
In the first stage you choose an uncomfortable time for the seller. Like sunday for a xian.
In the second stage you humiliate them. This gets rid of all the strong people and you are left with the desperate ones.
However, they won't take lightly to your humiliation and will be on the razor's edge of leaving to salvage their ego.
To prevent them from leaving you rebuild their ego. You make it seem like the humiliation wasn't intentional and give them praise. Make them feel valued. They will see you as a hero.
Now when you make a counteroffer for half of what they ask, you'll get a yes most of the time.

I forgot to add. Once you make the counteroffer, don't wait for an answer.
Wait five to ten seconds and then hand them over the contract, the pen and tell them to sign it.
