Hi Lads,

I was researching the main TRP sub and tried different keywords but could not really find posts regarding that topic. Can anyone point out what I am missing or did wrong? The question is how to deal with beta males in daily life that feel inferior or jealous and go down the path of trying to put you down through some form of test, challenge, little power plays when they happen to be in a position where they have some sort of power over you, even as minuscule as organizing a cue or a sports team and who sits on the bench first etc., or maybe he is a cop or airport staff that just stops you has a look at your docs and says "nevermind" and when asked what it was about you get "nothing" etc. with a grin on their faces etc. etc. These everyday situations we all face. When to confront? When to escalate (Which includes possible violence as a consequence)? When to ignore? Where do you draw the line?

Edit: In includes all general social situations with friends and acquaintances and strangers.
