You're likely still in the anger phase.

Once you reach the successful leader with options phase, people will chase you for your validative company.

The anger phase can last 3 months or 50 years.

If everyone thinks you have become a dick you have probably become a dick, there is nothing wrong with that unless its detrimental to you.

I've been an abrasive prick my whole life, but you have to temper it with being a likeable abrasive prick or else you just become an ostracized loser.

You can be a dick and still be well-liked. Work on your shit if people don't like you. Its good to not give a fuck if they like you or not, but it is also important to recognize that being liked is very fucking useful and good for you and the people around you.

You don't need more than say 3-5 really good friends. You don't need to impress the world. You don't need to be everyone's best friend.

In leadership classes I've taken, there are 3 main types of leaders that people trust:

The ones people come to for help with work tasks. You don't have to be well liked to be given the respect of knowing how to do your job well and gaining results.
Those that have great interpersonal skills and can mitigate issues. What these people usually lack in working competence, they make up in for their skills at building team moral, productivity, and a healthy working climate.
The person that is everyone's friend. Because they spend a decent amount of time on interpersonal and extra curricular activities with those around them, they build strong friendships and tend to be trusted with private issues. Also since the focus more on the others people, they typically lack in their abilities as a worker or a leader of a group. They tend to play as a support for everyone else.

Of course there are only some people that can juggle 2 of these at any given time, but typically it is incredibly rare that someone can portray all 3. If you haven't guessed, the first one is what The Red Pill advocates for and is what we should strive for.

It completely possible to be none of these. Don't be that guy.
