I had a revelation in the middle of the night. I’m a beta. People hate betas. I’ve been rejected by my family, friends, and mates throughout my life. People have seen me as something to use or abuse. I don’t think all those people were alphas. I think they were channeling alpha as a survival method. They became aggressive, rude, selfish, manipulative, and cold. Ironically, a true alpha would probably be a hero. I adopted a party animal persona . At the start of high school, I decided I would put on bravado in an attempt to keep the bullies at bay and attract women. It worked. I frequently acknowledged I was acting, though. I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve. I think fake alphas have made the routine real like people make the supernatural real. My alpha behaving narcissistic mother told me that I was born an old man as if that were an anomaly. I now understand what she meant. I now understand why I consistently test ENTJ-A, yet I have no desire to form or run a company. It feels good to know who I am and why I’m an outcast. It’s helpful to think that there are most likely a ton of betas engaged in self loathing.

What do you mean by "beta"? Beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet.

Alpha Male (dictionary.com)

noun

  1. the most dominant, powerful, or assertive man in a particular group.
2

No such thing as 'Alphas' or 'Betas', unless they belong to some college fraternity.

Shouldn't non-alphas predominate in very large numbers? I don't see them as being hate worthy or deserving of abuse as that means nearly everyone is. Perhaps your abusers are just assholes, taking advantage of your pack friendly nature. Bullies suck that way. It's as if my kindness has put a bullseye on my back my entire life! So sorry you've had to deal with it.
