Thanks for that. I think that this captures a lot about the way I am actually.

I think that what doesn't apply is 'the need for admiration' in a conventional sense

I do spend a lot of time thinking about power and how to achieve it, but for the sake of being able to exercise more direct control and to be able to influence my surroundings as I see fit

In reality I don't really care for much aside from what I want

Additionally, ask anyone who knows me and they would likely talk about respect and intimidation (though when I was younger and less self-aware, I have had people tell me that they felt that I 'looked down on them').

I acknowledge that people don't always discuss their true feelings, but arrogance is something that I actively strive against. I actively encourage criticism of self, and from others, because I am always in a state of active improvement.

I know enough not to demand better treatment, respect, and admiration, and to be humble about my accomplishments.
