Pretending Person Getting Along With Another Pretending Person
If you are a Pretending Person trying to get along with another Pretending Person, then you have two choices:
- You can see them as an ally.
- You can see them as an enemy.
It’s OK to not put much thought into it. In some Pretending Person cultures, it’s OK to decide based on if they made any mistakes the first time you met them.
If you want them to be your ally: Complain about something you both experienced. Talk about how other people’s suffering or cries for help are very annoying to you. Complain about other people, without trying to understand them further.
After they become your ally, you can talk about how to eliminate your common rivals. Sometimes, you don't even need to talk about it, and they will just follow your lead or you can follow theirs.
If you see them as a rival: Pretend to be their friend, but try to make it seem like you are better than them by saying something like: “Oh you’re sooo good at that.” If you are right about something and they were wrong, try to make them feel bad.
If they are your boss, you can try to look better by hurting your rivals. If hurting your rivals is easier than improving yourself and you won’t get caught, you should always hurt your rivals. It doesn’t matter if you are actually better, it only matters that you look better.
