| 1 | A coworker I just me is nice to my face and becomes a total high-octane AMOGer in front of other people, how can I put an end to it?The fact that someone came to you and told you about him spreading rumors about you shows that they see through it too. But it stopped. It was a girl I had just met, and now she acts like the others. It's like they get pulled by his "uncontested" aggressiveness in general... Just treat him like you would a young child trying to challenge you; it's kind of cute. I don't know man. I did that and it backfired big time. When I stopped taking him seriously and started ignoring him, he was able to get… | /r/askTRP | 14/11/16 07:23 AM |
| 1 | My current plate makes jokes and is bothered by a guy at her workplace who is indifferent to her on purpose. Is she attracted to him?I know I shouldn't care, I'm just curious. I fuck her, it's great. Now I ask myself: let's say I wanted to be with her, and I see how she reacts to this guy's indifference, and I was puzzled by it, that's all. I mean, what strucked me was that he actively ignores her, and she actively acts pissed in private and tries to be friendly with him when he's around. It's the sort of think that makes you wonder: if you don't like him and he's an ass, why are you nice to him? why to want him to approve yo… | /r/askTRP | 06/08/16 07:35 PM |
| 1 | My current plate makes jokes and is bothered by a guy at her workplace who is indifferent to her on purpose. Is she attracted to him?I don't think he's insecure just young and inexperienced Exactly. At least, I don't feel insecure but I know I am inexperienced. That's the reason I was trying to understand why she felt this pull on him. Question: is it plausible to assume that, if she was not in an LTR and available, this guy would have the greatest chance of getting laid with her? | /r/askTRP | 06/08/16 07:25 PM |
| 1 | My current plate makes jokes and is bothered by a guy at her workplace who is indifferent to her on purpose. Is she attracted to him?Ok, I get it now :) I cared because I thought "let's I want to pursue an LTR with her", and I basically saw the pull this guy had on her and I wanted to understand why this was happening. One question: if the guy is always condescending or aggressive or comes off strong to people, would that provoke this sort of obsession in girls? | /r/askTRP | 06/08/16 07:24 PM |

| 1 | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?I guess what bothered me was the fact I never act like this, and not because I'm scared but because I don't find the need. So, being forced to adapt myself because one or two guys are doing this really pissed me off. In the end, I kind of appreciate the chance to actually grow a thicker skin and, well, deal with the fuckers. These are not friends, so friendly banter has it's limits here... | /r/askTRP | 31/05/16 08:22 PM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?It sounds like he's insecure, as he seems to be the aggressor (correct me if I'm wrong). Exactly. I used to do my stuff, he would just criticize or comment about me to try to stop me. When I did the same thing (commenting, criticizing) to him, he would just blew off. Then I slowly started backing down, and he began mocking me and slowly making me the clown. But it all started with me doing my stuff without saying shit to him. What kind of an insult is that, but anyway... It's not an insult, it's… | /r/askTRP | 30/05/16 05:33 AM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?What are some exact examples of what he says? It's usually the same scheme: 1) he either takes any argument as an excuse to criticize what I do by implying I'm stupid or worthless, or 2) I do something he doesn't like and he starts commenting about how childish or stupid or whatever I am to those in the room. It's always one of these two. When he's straight up direct with me, I can easily fend him off and then he backs off and starts talking to other people about me, trying to criticize me or si… | /r/askTRP | 29/05/16 07:21 PM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?Ok, so I have to keep my guard up, get it. | /r/askTRP | 29/05/16 07:19 PM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?In my case, when he says something he does it when he's sure people, or at least some of them, are going to laugh. Should I let the moment pass a couple of seconds before htting back? Because when I act instantly, I always come out as butt hurt, even when I'm not... | /r/askTRP | 29/05/16 05:19 PM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?So, I have to fight back. It's real easy to start collecting if you know a person for a while. They'll actually get hurt by a couple and either lose frame and get butthurt or stop chirping you This actually worked for me a few times, if I manage to humiliate him a few times he'd back off or act butt hurt. But this only lasts for a while and at the first time he gets, he comes back at me! Why is this? It's like I can't lower my guard... does he see me as someone weak? as someone strong? or does h… | /r/askTRP | 29/05/16 05:16 PM |
| – | Displaying IDGAF and having other guys walking over you... how do you deal with it?So, if I understand this correctly, unless I respond in some way, I'd be losing status, basically. Do I have to deal with this, no matter what? Especially if the guy doing this is not my friend? | /r/askTRP | 29/05/16 05:14 PM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Best advice so far. I don't think many people in this thread have ever dealt with a persistent asshole like OP is talking about. You can ignore him, or make sly comebacks, which is fine, but the AMOG is getting reinforcement for his behavior everytime a OP's conversation partner acknowledges the AMOG. Finally someone who sees my point, I'm kind of relieved! It's exactly what you said, he doesn't come AT me, he tries to pull anyone from the group up by pushing me down, and as long as someone is v… | /r/askTRP | 23/05/16 06:15 AM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Yeah, you have a point. Once he crossed during a bad day and went up to him ready to throw down. He wasn't expecting it and he just absorbed the cascade of insults from me, but didn't move a finger. And the worst part is, when I left he acted butt hurt and complained TO THE WOMEN he was trying to impress by doing this shit... can you believe it? | /r/askTRP | 23/05/16 05:29 AM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?" Then as he's responding, interrupt him with "Ok, cool," and get back to whatever you were doing before Yeah, I've used it too but never as a defense mechanism, more to piss on my friends. You are right, it should work. | /r/askTRP | 23/05/16 05:27 AM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Poison that well hard. The key is to embarrass him without caring or getting emotionally involved. I'll do this. I used to do something like this in the past when I thought he was being annoying on purpose but it was just a once in a while thing. Now it has become the routine... | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 07:55 PM |
| 2 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?So, I basically let him do his thing, without skipping a beat, and then counter it with comments or mockery, is that right? | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 07:54 PM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Thanks for the advice man. if you can attach a silly nickname whenever he pulls this shit, and get people to laugh at it, you can essentially shut down any future amog attempts by using callback humor and referring to him by his silly nickname This has worked more than once. Especially if it's something humiliating about him. As long you stay non reactive and the girls continue to enjoy talking to you I don't know, this is not the impression I'm getting. By remaining non reactive he can basicall… | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 07:53 PM |
| 0 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Thanks man, this really helped, I hadn't seen it that way until now. Ok, so, let's say that my ego the reason, the fact that they need to pay attention to him means, however, that he can basically impose himself over me whenever he wants to? Basically, that they see him as a higher value individual that can mess with me whenever he wants to? Look, with this guy I came to the conclusion that it's all about social power. He sucks at his job and tries to overcompensate on the social front. And, sin… | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 05:48 PM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Any time someone makes you emotional, it's because you're already in their frame. So the issue here has nothing to do with him but your acknowledgement of him. Ok, so my reaction to him is my problem, not his. I see this. I can ignore him all I want, like I can ignore people throwing balls in my direction. However, the moment one of those hit me in the head (in this case, gets the other person's attention away from me on purpose), I can stay calm, but he's pushing himself on me, so to speak. For… | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 05:29 PM |
| 1 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?And if the girl turns to look at him? I mean, the problem is he does this in a way that gets the other person's attention on him, which forces me to act. Sometimes, the other person looks at him and that's it, in the worst case he or she will turn and smirk at whatever the hell he said, and that behavior really bothers me. I feel both the lack of respect, the lack of interest, and the aggression from this asshole, all at the same time. Any other ideas man? | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 05:17 PM |
| 0 | I met a guy at work that will tell girls in front of me how to treat me when I'm talking to them, is it a shit test?Well, it bothers me because they try to treat me like a child for no reason just to piss me off. And my ego wants to beat the shit out of him in return... Besides, ego aside, it's not only that that bothers me. It's the fact that when he acts like this, sometimes he tries to be funny and basically the person talking to me looks at him with a smirk in his or her face. Now, THAT is what bothers me. The fact that they get the other person's attention and they kind of laugh at his antics while he's … | /r/askTRP | 22/05/16 05:14 PM |
| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?How would you act around him and all the things he says does around you? Completely amused and undisturbed by the amount of power I would have over him. Yes, I get what you mean, even if it's not true, that would do the trick to being able to deal with this asshole. In either case, I was not kidding, what I said was true. He very likely is closeted. | /r/askTRP | 03/04/16 07:05 AM |

| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?Point for originality. He is probably closeted, too religious, tries to be every woman's best friend, and can't conclude shit with women. 23 years old and depressed because his girlfriend dumped his sorry ass... But I don't think he likes me :) | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 09:40 PM |
| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?This is work, but we hang outside also. Family problems, issues in his past, drugs? He hates his life. He hates his job. He can't tolerate people who sees things differently and basically shrug him off. He got of easy for a long time as the "funny one" of the group. Now the group is bigger, people stepped up in many directions, he always stayed in the same place and his reaction is what I described. Speaking from my own experience, it's when you're improving and people test your frame. Maybe bec… | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 09:38 PM |
| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?The funny thing is that things have been shitty in the workplace for a while now, and it's all because of him. Sure, he blames it on management or a couple of coworkers, but it's him the real issue. Had he kept things professional none of this shit would have happened. My original though was to expose him to the managers once and for all, and let him deal with the shitstorm. But I fall back to calling his shit in front of colleagues whenever he pulls this off. I mean, you can be a shithead all y… | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 06:56 PM |
| 2 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?Ah yeah I know what you mean. How do other people react to this kind of stuff? It depends on his tone. If he's being funny about it, they may laugh. When he's been all "mature adult and condescending", they'll just stare at him and say nothing. They know he's messed up and fucked up, that's for sure. When he throws a clear insult my way, they look at him like he's being cruel or just look at me waiting for a response. I tend not to say nothing because I'm messed up my this "ignore the petty assh… | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 06:46 PM |

| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?Bring his lack of professionalism to the attention of whoever can shitcan him. I was considering that. Especially because he's been shitting on managers lately because they just don't like him either. But the place is usually in a light mood, joking around is accepted as long as things are kept civil. What I'm posting here is because I realize the inner game he's playing. And I'm tired of it... | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 06:07 PM |
| 2 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?Do you have any specific examples of things he says? Every time I make a mistake in front of everyone, and laugh about it, he'll call me stupid (or similar) for doing that. If I'm having fun with another friend by doing something silly and we are not embarrassed about it, he'll start calling me and the other one child or bimbo or whatever. If I throw a self deprecating joke and people laugh he'll usually grab the content of the joke and use it to insult me. E.g., I'm short so I joke about growin… | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 06:04 PM |
| 1 | When you see someone at the workplace (or in your group of friends) as inferior to you and you decide to ignore him, what to do when he starts ridiculing you in front of the group?Be smooth and let his shit pass through you like air. This is what I did for a while. I stopped when I realized he was blatantly ignoring me and still badmouthing me in front of everyone. That's what started bothering me. Its all inner game and mental state You are right, I lost my inner mental state after weeks of this shit. | /r/askTRP | 02/04/16 05:51 PM |
| 1 | How common is it for a girl to let you get close/closer than before and then suddenly start ignoring you when some other guy starts paying attention to her?Look, I know the difference between teasing and actually insulting. If you are with a group of friends talking about the US elections and she says she supports Obama and the guy drops off all condescendingly "... yeah, you are the usual ignorant", will you classify that as teasing? Lol, she even told him right there he was being "a little hormonal" way too early in the morning and the stupid guy actually got offended! This is just an example.

Again, when I say "insecure jerk" is not me being jealous, he really does try to pull himself up by lowering others down and he finds that easy to do with this girl... Just because you insult someone it doesn't mean you are superior to them... do you really live by that rule? But I'm guessing she likes him so she tends to see things differently when he's around so whatever... | /r/askTRP | 26/02/16 05:25 AM |

I know for a fact he could fu* her if he pushed hard enough and he doesn't do it because bla bla bla he likes to have her around... And he's not your typical confident guy, he's insecure, condescending and full of crap... the kind of guy who criticizes everyone to pull himself up, you know what I mean?
