Does this method for getting the things you want usually work for you?
There's nothing wrong with giving and taking a bit. It's a win-win situation. There's nothing unfair about it, or malicious.
It's like... A good partner. Oh, good one Major, you're so smart. You want to hold a status quo.. guo... Power balance. But in the end you're just ruining a relationship if you reject someone and be unwilling to apologize because of your pride.
You're just hurting yourself. Not me. You think I would be the winner here, but I'm not. It's a deal, you dumbass, and the only thing you're doing by rejecting the deal is stabbing yourself...
What a disappointment. You would be fun, but you're so insecure and angst with your pride.
I have none of that ego that you have. I'm naturally in nirvana and I never think of this as a power play... This is why I say you're petty. Trust me, power play is something altogether different for me. Ask my woman. She's made-up, so she'll answer anything that first pops to my head.
Wouldn't being shameless be the opposite of hiding insecurities?
You have the memory of a gold fish..
