Self-presentation strategies

so i'm typing an outline about communication styles and here are some things that i found interesting and valuable... i find that this class and its teachings are definitely making me way more critical of others than i need to be lol but this is also good to know i guess:

There are five method of strategic self-presentation used in interpersonal influence situations: ingratiation, intimidation, self-promotion, exemplification, and supplication. According to norms of reciprocity, we generally like those who like us. We can influence others by appearing to like them and by being pleasant and friendly. This strategy is called ingratiation. The ingratiatory uses charm, helpfulness, and flattery to control others. People who use intimidation aren’t at all concerned with being nice. They want to appear dangerous. Self-promotion is another strategy. Self-promoters want to be perceived as competent. They emphasize expert power. Another way to influence is through exemplification. Exemplifiers control others by personifying the values that they admire. Exemplifiers make everyone else look bad in comparison. The final strategy is supplication and here is when the presentation is that of helplessness. The supplicator appears so weak and defenseless that others feel a duty to act as a protector.

so pretty much... here's my translated version in layman's terms:

ingratiation the flirt
intimidation the bully
self-promotion the pompous person
exemplification the critic / gossiper
supplication the whiner always asking for attention by crying to the world

i definitely see myself in the range of intimidator and self-promoter not because i want to be but it's how i am since i'm so critical of others...

in my eyes... i see everyone using the method of supplication. mainly the younger ones and i won't even point fingers because i know i've done it on social networks too just that the ones i've seen who are 19-21 doing this... it's SO sad and of COURSE i will shut them down... i believe in giving the attention that they yearn for by crying online but i want to give it to them in the most extreme way to do them a favor... to make them feel so bad that anything else that they complain about wouldn't be as bad. also, whatever i do or say to make them feel worse... it'd make them appreciate the friends around them when they give advice to this attention-needy person. as the context says, i don't care for my reputation for being nice. i've done a lot with my life and i continue to do my part to help those who are worth the time and i make sure that people who already have a lot already aren't taking the spotlight anymore than they have.

so...

i hate it when singers, performers/dancers, and other artists complain about life and attention when they already have their stage time and time in the spotlight and camera... i don't understand why they would need anymore room to ask for attention -_- and this is why i believe that shutting down their ego is just the best way to handle things...

or even easier... to just walk away from them and checking in with them later hoping that they've gotten to their senses to just get over their pity dramas and cries for unnecessary need for attention.
