    I've come to realize I'm the type of person to scheme against people I don't like. Some people lash out, some people cry. I act like nothing is happening while I subtlety come up with a plan to trap the other party, or look for things I can use as their weekness to get the upper hand in them.

    Major advantage of this method is that I don't make rash decisions, so by the time I have anything concrete figured out I usually don't care about the original grievance I had against the other party. Anyone else able to relate to this?

    I don't know... I usually just don't do anything? To the other person? I'm a passive person, what can I say. Also you being a schemer makes you sound like a protagonist, wow. Keep up the good work

    Idk I'm bad at scheming let alone figuring out the thoughts of real hoomans. I can't handle other people's emotions that easily as my E.Q is probably lower than my I.Q (I mean it). As I am rather dense and kinda stupid at relationships and conversing or social interactions I probably won't notice it immediately or not at all if somebody was going to lure me into something especially if they are someone I know and if they are also really good at it (tho since I'm a paranoid person I might figure it out if there are any irregularities that doesn't sit right with me). So rather than being the schemer, I'm actually just that one clueless victim who'll only realize what's happening after all's said and done.

    Pretty much what I do. Luckily for some people, I tend to be a laid back peaceful guy, otherwise... :blobowoevil_horns:

    other than blaming one of my brothers for eating all the snacks when I was a kid, nope. If I don't like someone then they're not worth my time or effort.

    I only scheme when it's convenient. Going out my way to get back to someone i don't like is just too much for my lazy self.

    No. Sadly I am not capable of scheming against people. A combination of laziness and forgetting everything relating to humans within moments inhibit my ability to scheme.

    Umm…when I was 8, in 2nd grade, I purposely get close/talk/ask questions to my class teacher on the first day of class in order to be picked as the class monitor. I succeeded. That’s because I learn at 1st grade that brown-nosing the teacher will make my school life easier and once I have the power and influence, nobody will bully me.

    When I was older and thought about this case, I was frightened by how ‘scary’ I was at young age. At this time, I consider myself to have regressed a lot, no longer scheme - maybe because there’s no danger present these days.

    When met with tricky people in workplace, I’ll just be careful and not give them the chance to stab me. It’s stressful to be extra careful but better be safe than sorry. But mostly, I’ll try to avoid them if I can. Just lay low, act dumb, live peacefully. Not fond of any confrontations/fights. Too lazy for it. Life shouldn’t be a palace drama. What’s the point of scheming with coworkers? In the end, you’re still an employee, not the employer.

    I don't scheme against someone. Although I curse at them in my head. When someone makes an offensive comment abt me (my bestfriend, but not rlly, she has a toxic personality) I just smile and laugh. I like to be someone who just smiles and like pretends to smile but curses at them in my head lol. I try to avoid it because it's very tiring. But little by little, my heart becomes like stone and I try showing little to no emotions on my face or body language and I become distant to that person.

    I used to be like that however nowadays I'm just too exhausted to waste some energy to people I don't care about. Heck I don't even give them any space in my mind lol.

    I can't even imagine how I'd even scheme against someone... Nor do I really want to.

    I guess the idea doesn't mesh well with me.

    Are you the female lead of a rebirth/revenge story set in ancient China? Just kidding.
    I'm not the brightest, so my schemes don't succeed against anyone other than my brother. I don't think I could pull off a grand scheme at work though.
