Hi Lorrae

Thanks so much for your comment, and I also agree that emotional abuse is not an inherent trait of an alpha person. I should be clearer that it's the fact that alpha people are more likely to voice out very loudly about their experience that it turns into an emotional disturbance to other people.

I like how to analyse with the four temperaments, I have studied that in the past. I am not sure I can reduce alphaness to choleric - i would love to explore more on this two systems of psychoanalysis.

I also think that temperaments are very focus on innate personality and alphaness is a very culturally conditioned experience. It's the classic nature v nurture argument in the realm of psychology.

But I agree that it's their own upbringing that creates a certain emotionally response.

Lastly, I can't say I think stuck in a lift with 5 alpha people is going to be a great experience. I think people who aren't alpha can resolve problem quietly and rationally as much as alpha people (in fact, my gut feeling is probably better). This is by no means to undermine alpha people and I'm glad you are proud to be who you are.

All speaking from the perspective of a relatively sensitive person who has worked over 10 years with very alpha people.
