[ It takes Scott a little while to reply. Mostly because there's a lot - probably more than Nate knows - there. ]
To a degree, it is. there's more than one person out there who is more afraid of me when I don't seem to have a plan than when I do. Maybe more relevantly, for all the shit you've experienced, maybe because of it you're still... a person. You function as an individual, not a tool or within a role.
That's very rarely true for me. It isn't about being unpredictable as a tactic. It's more about the roll itself and... some other shit that comes along with it that makes some interpersonal shit hard for me to navigate and my responses... less than ideal or expected by people with a stronger sense of individual identity.
