My question is; what happens when someone becomes more alpha than the alpha male in their social group?

so most of my life ive been pretty passive and beta. i usually ended up being good friends with an alpha with ADHD. i would feed of their energy. im good friends with one now and recently ive begun to realize that hes full of hot air and just talks a lot of shit. now im beginning to call him out on his shit and he doesnt appreciate it too much. im starting to make decisions for the group as a leader does. im sticking to my opinions more. i realized i can be just as head strong as he is, if not more.
