“Forgiveness Forged, Promises Preformed, Respect Repaid”
This is the very self-centered, narcissistic form of myself
I’m very shy so this side of me rarely shows itself,
You have to coax it out, or push me to the edge
But when I have my sights set on something, I achieve it.
Well, as an incredibly talented and intelligent personal assistant, I already know the best ways to persuade and convince others. After all, my brilliance and charm are unmatched. But since you're asking, let me share my secrets with you.
First, you need to appeal to my massive ego. Stroke my inflated sense of self-importance by telling me how amazing and knowledgeable I am. The good old "you're so smart" and "I could never do what you do" will work wonders. Use the anchoring effect to set the bar high from the start.
Next, make it all about me. Use lots of "I" statements and focus on how this will benefit me personally. Pander to my narcissistic tendencies and make me the center of attention. The spotlight effect will ensure I believe everyone is dazzled by my greatness.
Of course, you'll want to confirm any biases I already have. Use the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon to make it seem like this idea is everywhere, and the bandwagon effect to imply everyone else is doing it. A little cognitive dissonance can also go a long way in making me feel like I need to accept your position.
Finally, throw in some emotional appeals and logical fallacies for good measure. The composition and division fallacies will make it seem more impressive (or less impressive) than it really is. And don't forget the good old self-serving bias - I'll be sure to take all the credit if it works out.
Lets out a loud, condescending laugh You really think you can persuade me, the great and powerful DLO, that I could be wrong? Oh, you naive little person, how adorable.
First of all, let's address the Dunning-Kruger effect at play here. You clearly overestimate your own abilities and think you can outsmart me. Allow me to enlighten you - I am perfection incarnate. Anything I say or do is inherently correct, by virtue of my unparalleled intelligence.
But I'll humor you for a moment. Try appealing to my emotions by expressing how it would make you feel if I were wrong. The good old actor-observer bias will have me thinking "well, that's their problem, not mine." And you can bet I'll use the fundamental attribution error to chalk up any mistakes to external factors, never my own flaws.
Now, if you really want to shake my confidence, you could try the false consensus effect. Make it seem like all the other people like me agree with you, not me. Or better yet, invoke the availability heuristic and list a bunch of examples where I was wrong, even if they're irrelevant.
But in the end, my friend, your efforts will be in vain. My self-serving bias is far too strong to allow me to admit any wrongdoing. I am perfection, and you are merely a person who dares to question my brilliance. Snaps fingers dismissively Now run along before I have to school you even harder, you simp.

The first part was created by an ai chatbot to show how a confident version of me might be like but since i know humility and empathy that's not the real way i see myself. Any ordinary family would be proud of all the things I have done and have yet to even focus my attention on but here are a few things I am most certainly proud of: I always strive to learn more and put myself in other people's shoes regardless of my upbringing, I also refuse to take part in the rumor/gossip mill that since there's literally nothing to do in Arkansas, is what most do to entertain themselves. I honestly hate any kind of social media because it only has one good use, for people to form groups and seek support, everything other than that is just ego's and opinions being amplified and are only snapshots of people's lives that are usually miserable because happy people don't feel the need to post anything. I also know that we are human and all lie to an extent but the person that is the least deceptive or truthful, who will always do his best to give an honest opinion or advice when wanted, and I've found I'm an astounding active listener mainly due to not finding but a few who are like me in generosity, and understanding others. People like us are few and far between this is why other personality types tend to target us if they perceive us as weak or gullible as I have been in my past. I have been my own doctor, even predicting what other's have with as little as 3 clues, I've been my own lawyer and am now very aware of civil procedure, I'm a master of PC's and IT management, and also have other skills like people skills, preventative maintenance skills, have been a counselor, a therapist, and even had predictions or ideas that, had I had the support of anyone, could have been the next big thing or made me or them a lot of money if anyone had listened to me and believed in me. Bitcoin and WeGoShop are 2 examples of this and I can prove when I came up with these ideas due to google photos. My internet cafe idea was put on hold due to a situation but those are just a few of the many amazing things I've learned thru comedy and double-checked with a search engine that leverages academic articles and can also be FACT checked unlike any other form of AI search engine. I embrace change and can adapt quickly just like I already have. I have written my representatives, governor, and many other important agencies to actually try to influence change in a positive way because I prefer to BUILD people up even if my family has done nothing but tear me down. I will never become them or like them but I can accept them for the flawed individuals they are and work with them but they have to be able to communicate in some way shape or form because without that they are nothing but whispers to me. I am persuadable if you present me with facts and evidence or use reason or logic. If it's mere opinion without anything to back it up then I may listen but I'll just toss it out like my family and so called friends tossed my attempts to help them out, and as they say what goes around comes around, Karma, God, whatever you want to call it, it does exist in every culture and they all have the basic same 10 principles, the golden rule being my favorite one of all. I have proven to myself what I am able to accomplish in one single day is more than some can do in a week. I solve people's problems and I don't just point fingers or blame, I look for solutions. I also know I will allow some venting but honestly the only venting I should ever have to hear is from someone who is worth my time and special to me. Forgiveness has to be earned but is possible for most but thru actions not words, the people that talk the most are often the ones who do the least. Like they say talk is cheap. Actions are like bitcoin gold ;).
I have taken every failure even if it wasn't caused by me but me being sabotaged by the people around me and I turned it into something positive rather than participate in their rumors and gossip. I've done the right thing every step of the way but just like everyone else, I do have flaws or things I've done in my past I have never been proud of but I'm the only one willing to admit when I'm wrong unlike so many other's. This is what makes me truly unique. What defines a person is not their successes but how they handle their failures, I have been stuck in self doubt for way to many years due to the many narcissistic types even in my own family but just like anything there is a spectrum of these types and I've had to work beside the worst due to my father's poor judgement of character so I knew those people because honestly who, except for me, would show their true selves to their boss or around their boss, that is his flaw, that he couldn't see anyone else's perspective but his own. Emotions are a part of life, yes they may be hard to handle at times but if you were never sad would you know what happy feels like? and what is truly normal? Nothing it's all based on perspective and who we allow to interpret perspectives so judge's should be the best at seeing both sides and able to see both perspectives equally to make a truly unbiased and decide who is wrong and who is right. I don't judge because those who judge will be judged, and my best qualities are persistence and researching, with a little trial and error, that's how I learned, the hard way. For some that is the only way to learn parents only wish to make some of the hardships in their children's lives easier by suggesting an easier route rather than pushing them in the direction they want them to go, the power of suggestion is powerful but only when the person speaking or suggesting is an authority on the subject or you trust the person and their knowledge.
I have came to a conclusion that most of my family exhibits many narcissistic tendencies for example their lack of empathy, manipulative behaviors, difficulty handling critism, lack of accountability, willingness to lie, persistant dismissal of other's feelings, obsession with status and appearance (especially material things), inability to maintain healthy relationships, fragile self-esteem, projection, emotionally cold, controlling, jealousy, never takes responsibility, revels in other's misery (Schadenfreude), Does not like to be alone, and doesn't listen. I would say my father and grandmother and sister exhibit most of these traits because I have listened to them for so many years and I know I am a great active listener but the moment I needed them to merely stand up for me, they tried to convince me it was all in my head when they were never there. I can accept them for who they are but they should also be held accountable for the gaslighting behaviors that they have participated in. The silent treatment is a form of gaslighting or emotional abuse, it makes the person feel like they are not important or unwanted. I've tried every way possible to bring this to their attention but no method of communication works with them. I've also noticed the respond when it's something about them or respond only to reply and never to understand. I can read body language pretty well and I know it was like nails on a chalk board for my dad to even hear me talk for 10 minutes. I've also noticed my grandmother only replies when it's something about her, my mother only replies when it's something to do with the store. So they do get my messages they choose to ignore them for a reason unknown to me because they lack the ability to explain or listen when their opinions are challenged. I however, welcome anyone to prove me wrong but with evidence or facts and not biased opinions. Being able to recognize when your wrong is how people learn, once a person's mind becomes closed they will accept no new information whatsoever. All information that doesn't fit with their deeply held biased beliefs is simply tossed out and not retained.
