    My 27yo incel nephew during the holidays had a hissy fit and called me a beta and really put himself in the alpha seat.

    Which was weird, because I picked him up from my sister’s house, drove him here, and also had to drop him back off as a favor to my sister.

    I dunno what internet or what he thinks alphas are but oooof.

      So you chauffered him around for free, no strings attached, and are now wondering why he thinks he’s royalty.

      Next time you help him out, drop him off in the nearby woods with a camera, asking for a video on how alphas hunt.

        No… there just isnt a next time.

        “Hey can you…”

        “Nah, Ive got too much Beta shit going on. Buying soy candles, yoga… tell him to find an Alpha way home. Tame a wild horse, Run with a wolf pack or some shit. NMFP.”

          Next time you give him a ride, make a pit stop.

          “Yeah Ill get you where your mom asked me to get you, but you sit here in the car while I go grab some groceries I need. You can have the windows down a little if you like.”

          Turns the power dynamic around real quick.

          I understand where you’re coming from but at the very least I hope you call him out on his shit. He’s 27 not 17.
