Avoiding attracting the Normal Person* (on social media).
the Normal Person*, to the Savants* pose a continual problem on Social Media. They post irritating videos, they do irritating things, and they insult you personally, all just to get your attention. They want you to NOTICE THEM and they’ll do anything to make that happen: demonstrate inferiority by posting completely crap information about your favorite topic, just so you react and take them under your wing out of pity and concern. Sometimes, this works. Appearing helpless will work almost every time with a Savants*.
A Normal Person* may pretend to be a complete beginner to someone they look up to, just to get them to coach them personally. Then, they wish to demonstrate a sudden rise in abilities when they “get it” but, in truth, have been practicing for years. If someone you coach shows rapid development, they likely have experience they haven’t told you anything about, not that they’re phenomenally gifted. You’ll also notice they suddenly hit a wall when they reach their current skill level, and they want you to help them further from there. So they want you to think they’re gifted to get you excited about coaching them, but they quickly reach their true skill level, which may not be all that impressive for someone who has been practicing for years.
Attracting the Savants* while putting off the Normal Person*.
If you run a coaching practice of some sort, the Savants* prefer ‘tidbits,’ quick pointers that make their life easier. They will also appreciate DEEP DIVES, information PACKED FULL of knowledge about their topic of interest. Typically, online content advice appeals to the Normal Person* of Thinker; they want superficial, easy-to-understand information that makes them FEEL LIKE a part of a group they don’t truly belong in. They want the sensation of having friends and a place in the world… And they can get super creepy about it, too.
What you want is to speak to someone like yourself. Speak to your intellectual equals, even though you feel they’re nowhere to be found. You have to speak to your intellectual equals only, obstinately, even though the Dog-Type Thinkers are trying to beg/goat/irritate you for your attention. ALSO, ignore your former acquaintances who try to swim in unless you want them in. That’s a difficult thing to do, I know, especially with family members who you don’t really associate with but who are still family.
Don’t get provoked.
Don’t point out “bad apples,” ignore them. Ignore people who present bad advice, no matter how you fear someone might believe them. TRUST that intelligent people know the difference between online crap and what’s worth watching. People who might believe it are the last crowd you want.
They don’t really believe it either; they just want someone to coach them in person, and both the coach and the follower are pretending on social media. They don’t offer true knowledge online, so they want you to contact them privately so they can get “the good stuff,” “the secrets.” Their online version is like advertising for “tell me how you ACTUALLY do it.” It is never meant to be followed as is.
Speaking of “secrets,” never use that phrase online. The Normal Person* are freaking obsessed with secrets. The Savants* figure, “If it’s a secret, why are you talking about it?”
I advise against offering personal time in any form on Social Media.
the Savants* on social media should never agree to meet their fans in bulk. IF you meet someone, do it knowing who that person is, and knowing YOU WANT TO meet that person, too, rather than the other way around. This includes one-on-one virtual space meetings.
Keep your online presence on a higher plane, so to speak. For any meeting you maybe planning, send personal invitations. You wish you could do it anyway, DO IT. Cherry pick your fans and followers, and don’t think for a second intelligent people don’t admire intelligent people. We all love a good Jordan Peterson moment, don’t we? Maybe until he agreed to TRY to fight for his licence as if a piece of paper would change our respect of him. Don’t be pandering to a bully. Never bow, even an inch, at a bully. Be a rock star.
Tony Robbins and Matthew McConaughey zoom call… Hahahahahah
Speaking of a terrifying experience without a filter…
So Matthew McConaughey teamed up with Tony Robbins for one zoom call to give their shared fans an experience of a lifetime… At an affordable price. I too booked in out of curiosity. I stayed for 10 minutes disgusted. I’m pretty sure the cool people “didn’t have a camera” because every person who had their camera on was…. Let’s just say NOT “a status bitch.” But that is EXACTLY the crowd you garner, no matter how good-looking or smart you are, the front-line of “fans” is quite easily not people you’d ever associate with. And the older people get, the more obvious these differences get.
That said, the group associated with that meeting actually gathers some pretty good content from people – but it may well be regurgitated memes for all I know. I thought about sharing original stuff in the group and thought… Wait a second… Do I want the people from the calls tagging along. Nope, thanks.
NEVER give personal attention to people you wouldn’t want in your house.
Join the fun. INTELLIGENT fun.
You have to lift your vibration, I am afraid to use a New Age phrase but it’s a good one. You have to speak TO YOUR INTELLECTUAL EQUALS or you’ll put them off and attract dummies. It is EASY to fall into that line of thinking, to that crowd, but resist.
Whatever type of fun you’re into, make sure your fun stays that way by NOT stooping to that energy that is constantly haunting you by people who just want your attention. If that means you have to post less, post less.
BE VERY AWARE that dumb people love smart people doing childish shit. THEY LOVE IT, because it makes you approachable.
Defend your honor, but ONLY explain yourself to your people.
If you gain popularity, it’s only a matter of time when someone decides to try and piss you off for attention. They may also guilt-trip you for attention. They will want to make you prove that you’re a good person. It is blackmail: “I will keep saying awful things about you until you love me (again).” Horrible strategy, obviously.
IF and when you must defend your honor, do it in public, but talk to Your People, not to the people trying to undermine you. If the accusations are false, all they want is your attention, and thus, your love and respect, unbelievably. The game is to show you they’re not afraid of you, which in itself proves they ARE in fact, afraid of you. That doesn’t mean they have any reason to be, but they might. Don’t get into their game, but remain above them.
When addressing your people, don’t feel offended by the possibility that they might have believed claims or mean things said about you. Provide evidence if you must. Don’t be tempted to feeling offended that your friends doubt you – especially friends who have never met you once in their lives. Media lies – both ways.
Your fear of them is justified.
And yes, you have EVERY REASON to be afraid of these people. They are… in a word, cunts who treat a person they’re in love with worse than a person they hate… Unless you love them back, of course, but that comes with the price of having to tolerate their company. Ironically, if you break their heart by proving to them you despise them, they will be UNABLE to harm you, because they justify their evil actions with their love for you, and would consider attacking with hate morally wrong… Which it is.
The trouble with this is that for them to believe you actually hate them, you may have to be VERBALLY very cruel and TO-THE-POINT. To make them feel like you think their love is worthless to you will be a trick and a half to achieve, but I promise it’s worth it.
This is why I sometimes jokingly call myself the Anti Christ. 😀
