"When it comes to power, eclipsing the boss is a particularly dangerous mistake. People in power need to feel secure in their position, superior to others in intelligence and charisma, and deserving of their perks. When they feel insecure, they lash out.

Whenever you demonstrate your talents you provoke resentment and envy (manifestations of insecurity) in others, whether they’re bosses, subordinates or peers. Of course, you can’t spend your life worrying about everyone’s petty jealousies, but you need to pay special attention to your approach with superiors because of their greater ability to harm you. They can make heads roll, although not as literally as did kings of the past. This is why it’s important to never outshine the master, your superior."

Everyone is faking it to get out of a psych ward.

Most people set their own personality as the baseline and make no effort to understand or accommodate anyone else.

Never take advice from someone who hasn't been through the same thing or will be there to suffer the repercussions.

I even hate their body language. Leaned back one leg over the other waving their hand. They're all trained to do the same act/schtick that no real human does. They look at human interaction as ticking boxes and aren't present in the moment.

I would sit there in pain calling out their unfairness and that i wasn't the idiot she thought i was but she laughed in my face, kept talking to me like a child, kept me detained longer than i needed to be. Would be "nice" to me in front of my parents, turning on the fake sickeningly "sweet" act like a non nice person doing a impression of what a nice person is or pretending our previous interactions never happened/not acknowledging my hatred for her as if passive aggressive between the two of us.

Had the nerve to say "you know some help has to come from you" when i was finally released. ALL of it had been me acting to get out. They had nothing nothing except give me more abuse.

One of the most persistent traps in media analysis and political theory is the Great Man Theory. The idea that history, revolution, and systemic change are driven exclusively by singular, exceptional figures born with divine bloodlines, genetic superiority, or god tier power.

People who write Buggy off as a "gag" or reduce him to a joke are missing the profound material and political point Oda is making. The current Yonko line up is dominated by hereditary or chosen elites. Luffy is the sun god of prophecy from the (Garp and Dragon) Monkey D lineage, Shanks is a literal Celestial Dragon nobility from the Figarland family, Blackbeard is another D descended of Rocks/Davy clan with a "weird body".

Buggy for all his flaws is still a thorn in the Government's side. Causes a breakout of a prison that literally tortures people, rallies them into his army, gets his hands on a Den Den Mushi and exposes Marines during the war, head of an organisation that puts bounties on Marines turning the tables on enforcers of global oppression. It decentralizes power, showing that the invincible machine of the World Government can be jammed, bled, and challenged not by a solitary king, but by the united masses acting in their own material interest.

His charisma works because the masses need a focal point to unite behind. He uses his platform to amplify collective power, proving that the figurehead matters less than the revolutionary mass standing behind him. Oda uses Buggy to tell us that you don't need to be chosen by destiny or born a god to disrupt the empire or wait for someone to. Liberation belongs to the outcasts, the weak, and the discarded when they finally realize that they outnumber the people at the top.

I'm absolutely shocked by how casually they dehumanize you, fragile their egos are, the fake laugh and smile, talking about you like you aren't in the room/thinking out loud. I wouldn't do this to anyone let alone someone at their lowest point. Have to get your little jabs in, assert dominance yet expect them to like you/feel grateful to you.

I honestly can't understand anyone that warped. Truly insane. Bizarro world were they should be in there instead of the patients they treat. Think because they have the right they are in the right. Speak matter of factly as if everything they say is true and hate anything otherwise despite evidence showing it. Strong classist biases.

A fully calibrated nervous system response to sustained abuse. The only "help" i got from mental health workers was my fight impulse finally being awakened. I have zero tolerance now and have always let things go in the past or had anxiety. Now i think i'll punch the next person who tries me.

Really curious how rare or common this is among our type. I missed out on my teens and twenties stuck in a shitty small town full of Sensors. Had social anxiety for years too (still do slightly to an extent). I wish i would be able to recover from my first hangover now (big difference starting drinking in your 30s to your 20s at least according to memes.

Can anyone else relate? It sucks. I've been fighting my trauma and completely missed out on life.

Very curious how this aligns with common functional dynamics and mutual social energy within personality typology. If not please state your favourite

Can anyone else relate. The trauma from mistreatment overrode my original trauma. Iatrogenic harm
