If posters contributions mirror their professional lives...

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Its a very interesting concept when you analyse it, and probably something that could do with some academic research behind it in future.

I'm self employed, run my own business & run my own socials/content.

In my professional life, I am not told what to do, I am not told when I need to work, I do not need to kiss arses to move up a ladder, I do not need to "make" "friends" to "network" and improve my prospects.

All of the above, translates into myself on this platform. I say and think how I want, if you like it, great, if not I do not care. I decide when I want to post, I do not need to have acquaintances to defend or enemies to attack. I have no desire to change my opinions to suit an accepted narrative, often pushed by EFC influencers on social media.

Whereas many others are bound by "cliques" and "rules". They have to like / dislike certain posters to be accepted, they have to comment, think and act in a certain way in consequence to that, they lose all originality in doing so. They essentially, are dispensable cogs in a wheel, much like the formal workplace.

These posters are no doubt, likely to be salaried employees and/or work in institutions where there is a high amount of insecure faux masculinity.

This is a very interesting perspective chieftain.

A less kind interpretation of your independence and self-employed status might be that you are insufferably irritating, pathologically smarmy, and unable to work effectively with others, or communicate effectively without causing friction.

I wouldn't say that of course. But it's food for thought.

Can't help but notice you mentioned a clique.

Can you name all posters in said clique, wise sage.

Well everyone is in a clique of some kind. What I was more referring to is how a man handles themselves around their clique.

If you want to become successful/influential, you have to accept that you're going to have haters along the journey. I may offend people saying this, but I find scousers in particular can be bad for hating on their own for simply improving themselves. I grew up in the ghetto, working class as they come. Now im out of that life, earning good money, big house, nice family, healthy lifestyle - some just want to pull me back into that life of struggle and conflict. Some just cannot be happy for other people.

Now talking specifically about social media platforms and forums, 90% of people will form an opinion of you based on nothing more than if you are willing to appease them or not, because simply put, they do not know you as a person or your background/story.

You could be a stand up fella but if you disagree with someone on football or politics - you're a piece of garbage in some peoples eyes. As a result of that, the majority who operate online will act, think & speak in a certain way around their cliques In fear of reprisal.

Once you liberate yourself from that BS, and fear no hate or condemnation, thats when you know you're ready to achieve great things with the right amount of effort.

Am no different off the forum as I am on it.

The need to come on here and aggrandise yourself purely comes from insecurity.

I was just saying this to my butler.

My advice is wash it at least once a day. Rinse, scrub, rinse.

I’m far far less a moaner about games offline, unless I’m talking to other football fans in work

On the flip side, I’m far less a moaner about other stuff on here and more a ‘Victor’ irl
