"Alphas" and "lone wolves"
My biggest pet peeve lately comes from two ideals that get pushed around for no real reason, mostly because people thinks it makes them "tough," especially online. Calling yourself "alpha" anything. or a "lone wolf." Two things, and much of this comes from my own experiences as someone that's raised wolfdogs or worked directly with the goofy apex predators in zoos: 1. If *you* have to call yourself or swagger around, talking up how much an "alpha" you are, you're not. It's like giving yourself a nickname; it isn't done like that. Words and deeds determine that, and it's wholly by the perception of others. 2. Quit bragging about being a "lone wolf." A lone wolf, in nature, is a dead or dying wolf, or were ejected from a pack. Wolves are pack animals, as are humans. Yes, even those of us that shy away or outright despise social interaction. (I'd have refined this, but I'm on hold with a vendor and I was sick of the awful hold music).

Yes, I am a lone wolf. But not by choice or deaire. Rather because due to my preferences and boundaries I have been shunned from "the pack".

When you keep on trying but they just don't care about you, it's time to move on. Have some self respect.
