they say that people respond favourably to confidence but i believe one must be careful not to exude obnoxiousness instead of confidence.
on two separate occasions random gym guy has tried to tell me what to do. he didn't ask me if i wanted to do 'XYZ' but rather he just demanded i follow his direction. clearly he doesn't know me. suffice it to say that i am not properly trained and i do not 'sit', 'fetch' or 'stay'.
if there is an established relationship: coach and athlete, teacher and student, mentor and oh crap... is there such a thing as mentee—?
well look at that... according to google; 'mentee' is an actual word although 'protege' is generally preferred.
there is no established relationship between me and random gym guy. we talk... sometimes. we have similar training ideologies and are often amused by the way others train. but that's where it ends.
i am a stubborn woman who knows her own mind. and guess what? i am also ridiculously set in my ways. so when mister man comes along and tells me to jump, the answer he gets is not ,"how high?"
and since i know you're probably curious... so far the answer hasn't been "—uck you."
yet!
