Authoritye



I do very poorly with authority, to my detriment. I can get childish with it

generally no, but I'm weird about it. I don't generally respect authoritah but I also don't really outwardly show that. Interaction with authority is just sort something I see as a means to practice and/or enjoy subtle psychological warfare, since for me it tends to be very low stakes, either just because of the circumstances or by my position. For example, when I've dealt with cops, I haven't done anything significant wrong, so it's a game to me. When I've dealt with problematic bosses, I've had enough dirt on them to avoid serious issues and some cases I've played them against each other, which again is a game to me. Any authority that hasn't made or isn't trying to make trouble for me, I generally try to just stay out of the way of. I don't have any desire to stir shit up if it isn't deserved.

i'm not a child. i don't get whiny about the smallest hint of authority. i have a high tolerance.

but the way the authority is presented, held, and practiced plays a huge part. humble, kind, firm, honest. that's the best.

anything that gets ego or dominance thrown in certainly annoys me. don't like people who get off on it.

If authority is being assholish and unreasonable, no. I'll lose my temper at some point and tell that person off. If authority is trying to be patient and reasonable, I'm usually happy to oblige. I think that's a lot of people though.
