I understand A314 has none based product in it, correct? And a none OD is the same as an AMMO or TUTH none based OD. Correct?
Anyway, so I’m in university practicum with an agency for 4 months.
I’ve been wearing 2 drops of A314 each day.
So we’re nearing half way through the practicum and my supervisor talked to me and said that I haven’t been talkative enough with everyone there, and that people are starting to draw conclusions which include things like the idea that I think that I’m looking down my nose at everyone.
I understand that I’m not the most talkative person, but I don’t think I’ve been this absolute mute that I’m being made out to be. At the same time, another student from my class is also practicum student there and she is even MORE quiet, or keeps to herself, than I am. I don’t know if she was given any talk about not being talkative enough with other people there though. And I don’t plan to ask her about whether she was talked to about that.
In effect, I feel it’s a huge unfair accusation toward myself. I could understand if I were some majorly hot 10/10 girl and I didn’t talk to people much, that others would get that idea like “Oh she’s too good to talk to anyone?” We’ve all though that about certain women throughout our lives, right? Based off these types of behaviors I’ve brought up. But I’m not a 10/10 girl. I’m a guy. Sure I dress nice, and some may find me to be an attractive guy. But I don’t think I’m on the sale scale as some 10/10 girl who’s too good to talk to anyone.
This brings me to the A314. Does it sound like it is ODing?
A314 only has a tiny amount of none, so I don’t think your problem lies here.
However, A314’s high status properties can come-off in exactly the way you describe - especially around younger people and it can also trigger competitive behaviour and challenges from people around you. They see you as a potential (or actual) leader/superior/expert and they will test you, so you have to have the congruence/competence to back that signal-up.
The reason you got challenged over your colleague might well be because your supervisor and other colleagues are expecting you to be taking a higher profile/involvement instead of kicking-back and just going along with the flow.
So it seems to me, your choices are either to step-up your behaviour to match that sig and get stuck into the challenges, or cut back and see if they find it more acceptable or try a less challenging alternative like IG instead.
How did you determine that two drops is your most effective dose? Sweet spot testing A314 can take a good bit longer precisely because of its extra qualities and subtlety in effects.
It’s a no cologne atmosphere. So I can’t use anything else.
The following day I decided not to wear any A314.
I had been taking a passive role there. Just doing what I was asked. I don’t like to be an assertive person, or insert myself, where I am the new person. I don’t like to try to be the center of attention, or dominate things when I am new. I like to take the back seat and just take in information.
The supervisor did talk about starting to get me doing other things now too. So since yesterday I’ve been working on some project that will probably take a few weeks to complete at the very least (since I only have practicum there 2 days a week).
But it’s a project that they feel would bring extremely important statistical information to the table. And the head manager seems really interested in getting that research. So I will be doing that and hopefully bring some impressive information.
During our discussion, my supervisor stated that he realizes I have massive potential that is even higher than the job that they are all doing. This comes from me being an intellectual student rather than just a regular average grade student. I find this tough because people always pass me over because they see me as too high potential to stick around. Sort of like they need to aim for someone lower so that employee doesn’t look further. This occurs even where it’s unfounded. There are places that I would be comfortable staying even if it’s considered below my potential.
Anyway, so I’ll be no longer wearing A314 at this place and see how that goes. I’m trying to be more assertive in my conversing with others, and I will be more proactive in suggesting what I’d like to do in the pracitcum rather than letting the supervisor set the agenda.
The reason I thought being passive and allowing the supervisor set the angenda is because I assumed that seeing as they know the ins and outs, they would have a plan on what they think would be best for me and at what stages. I mean, if I were taking on a pracitcum student, I’d have thought out a timeline of everything I want the student to cover, rather than letting the student figure out what he/she wants to do.
It frankly depends on my mood and you’re right some days I just would rather listen and be a background cog.
Explain to your supervisor what you just explained to us. Also, asking questions is a great way to break the a314 ice. As long as you’re making a vocal effort people will think highly of you. Getting unscented alpha androstenol or instant opennes would also be a good way to tone down the a314 vibe. Or go with the instant gentleman route.
Ask more questions really. That’s the best way to get things taken care of and be a part of the group.
Yea. anyone under 25 and a314 don’t really work. im 25, and at least a year younger than most of my friends since way back, i started school early and tend to hang with older crowds. all my close friends start treating like a neglecting parent when I wear a314. but with the ladies and more mature crowds, say 30+, it’s great. kids on the street just treat me like an adult, they move out of the way and act all respectful, and I’ll be laughing because I find it so funny that they are treating me so formal. it’s like james bond. Versus IG, which is like teen bond.
A314 can be intimidating and you have to work with this one to see the best results. It gives the respected alpha leader vibe. You have to lead or people will see you as standoffish and it can give an air of being conceited.
A314 doesnt make people talk, it makes them listen. You also will find you need to use body language for people to approach. Make eye contact, keep an open stance, smile. This is the Alpha signaling its ok to approach me.
If your shy, quiet and have trouble taking the lead A314 is tougher to use. I suggest buffering it with some IO.
Thanks. That makes a lot of sense considering what I’ve explained.
Again, I can’t wear colognes at this place. So I’m just going with no pheromones at this point.
