It’s not you who’s at fault; it’s them.
Although you have an alpha personality, this does not imply that you are overly aggressive or detached. A beta personality, unlike you, will not notice that you are acting in a certain way because your personality is pushing you in that direction.
This can result in major misunderstandings, poor first impressions, and relationship problems.
Understanding what the other person isn’t is crucial to building successful relationships with beta personalities as an alpha personality.
One of the most important focuses of your day-to-day should be recognizing who you’re talking to and the impression you’re making. If you have an alpha personality, you’re likely to have a lot of interactions similar to the ones listed below.
You might come across as unconcerned, as if you believe your voice is louder than others, or as if you push people too hard.
In reality, you believe you care too much, that others are unaware of the truth, and that people are making poor life choices.
How do you get your message across so a beta personality doesn’t feel overwhelmed?
Here’s what you’re doing that people don’t realize is a direct result of your alpha personality, as well as how to make the best impression possible.
1. You express your opinion on a situation or event.
Other alpha personalities will value your candor and point of view on a particular subject.
Beta personalities may feel as if you’re talking over them or explaining why your point of view is correct and theirs is incorrect.
Instead of simply stating your point of view, begin by saying, “I understand where you’re coming from.”
“Do you think X strategy would be more effective?”
2. You want to be alone.
Spending time alone allows you to grow as a person and recharge your batteries if you have an alpha personality.
You’re not the type to waste time on insignificant matters.
When the time is right, be productive; when it isn’t, Relax.
“I’m interested in finishing this book that I’ve started because it’s giving me great insights into how I can implement X into my life,” you can explain to a beta personality.
3. You only believe it when you see it.
You see loose obligations in a way that beta personalities don’t.
When someone says, “Yeah, maybe I’ll be there,” you know their chances of attending are slim.
Because you don’t waste time on people who aren’t going to follow through, you may appear unattached to certain people.
Allow time to run its course instead of trying to explain your reasoning to a beta personality.
4. You walk away from drama or overly emotional situations.
An alpha personality isn’t one to squander time.
Dramatic or emotional situations are unnecessary if they do not promote self-growth and only serve to bring people down.
As a beta personality, they may interpret this as a rejection.
Though there is no one-size-fits-all solution to emotional situations, you can do your best to listen and remain compassionate during someone’s distress.
Even if it feels like time away from productivity, sometimes it’s best to spend your time helping someone else get through a difficult time.
5. You want to take risks in life, business and relationships
Beta personalities don’t want to take a risk by jumping off a cliff and hoping for a parachute to open.
Alpha personalities crave that adrenaline rush.
You’ll want to take risks in life, business, and relationships as an alpha personality because you have faith in yourself to achieve the success you desire.
Beta personalities may try to persuade you to leave them.
It’s difficult to express how confident you are in yourself.
It’s simple to demonstrate.
Spend your time taking concrete steps toward the goal you want to achieve and demonstrating that there’s no need to be concerned; you’ve got this.
6. You avoid situations that don’t interest you.
No, says the alpha personality.
A dominant, alpha personality understands that time is their most valuable resource.
They have less money to create prosperity in their lives the more they give it away to unfulfilling and unproductive activities.
They may avoid small talk with strangers or appear disengaged during a conversation.
Consider each conversation as a class with an important lesson to be learned to avoid appearing uninterested.
How quickly can you figure out what each person has to teach you?
7. You are honest about people being lazy in their job, relationship or life.
You’re not afraid to tell it like it is to those who need to hear it.
This honesty does not come from a place of negativity; on the contrary, it comes from a place of positivity.
You’re open and honest with your partner, friends, and family because you genuinely believe in their success.
You want them to see how much they are capable of achieving if they can’t see their potential.
A beta personality may interpret this as aggressive and avoid discussing their goals with you.
To avoid this, consider each conversation as a platform for bringing the other person up.
What can you say to encourage them to take action and create the lifestyle, partner, or job that they desire?
It’s not you, it’s them.
That isn’t to say you shouldn’t try to communicate with those who may be perplexed by your personality.
Alpha personalities who succeed recognize that not everyone thinks the same way they do.
They tune their personality to support those around them as an efficient and strong personality.
Rather than asserting their dominance, they seek out ways to assist others.
Every beta they encounter receives a piece of their alpha.
And this is the key to revealing the true colors of a complex and powerful alpha personality.
