I know an alpha. I react to him. If he wants me to smile and laugh, I smile. If he wants me upset, he'll lower his jaw, widen his eyes, and devastate me. PROBLEM: I don't like being so reactive to another person, or "under the thumb" of him. I've told myself "don't be bothered" but I can't help it. This guy sometimes treats me badly, but will then get me smiling at him and not holding him accountable. I can't help it. So two QUESTIONS (A) what should I do? (B) a common theme of pickup is to "be music" that girls react to or "set the tone." Hanging with this person makes me question the ethics of affecting the emotional state of others. Thoughts? Thnx
