Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive You've drained all the fun out of being a jerk! :)Posted by Rotten Apple on November 13, 2000 at 23:22:55: In Reply to: To KB, Anonymous, Laurence, Rotten Apple, birds, others - re: being w/ others vs. being alone posted by Margaret on November 13, 2000 at 19:30:13: Well, there are a number of ways to maintain power in relationships. HeeHee... I do it by being absolutely insensitive to the feelings of the other party. You'd think people might walk away... but most folks are so piss-weak they rarely do. They gravitate toward those who are confident, know their own mind, and act shamelessly. Point is: you build up the idea in your head that letting people know you compromises your position... when it actually strengthens your position. When people see you being confident in your vulnerability, they will see they cannot hurt you and beyond that, will see you as a strength against which to anchor themselves.
