I like to play devils advocate


Some times I like to play devils advocate, mostly to get a rise out of people. I like going against the opposite of what someone says just to get them mad or aggravated, and for some reason I can always hold my own in a debate when that happens. Its not always that you know the information, its that you know how to bullshit your way through an argument and drive it to a topic you are more familiar with.
When I was younger I was afraid to do this, I would keep to myself and just take it all in, never giving any back. Now that I am older I find myself finding situations that allow me to join in and say something. Instigator is something that you may call me, and for that I say thank you, give me a title, keep my name coming out of your mouth, make me famous.
Here at work I am known as the "mean one", mostly because I am to a point of confidence where no one here can hurt me, no one can say anything to me because they don't want me going off on them. It's a nice set up, knowing that what I say goes and that my word will be the final one. There are some who try to challenge me, but they fail miserably. Those who step up get knocked down and ridiculed by me, as well as others, its refreshing to know I have that kind of power.
