Me.
I’ve always been quiet. Even shy when I was young. Still it was me who told what to do to everyone. I just expected them to follow my orders.
Of course, not everyone did. Wouldn’t matter, things tended to go the way I wanted them to go anyway.
I’m not a physically imposing person.
If someone tries to boss me around, I just ignore them. And if they kept trying, it usually ended when I asked why should I. And in many cases, they ended doing what I wanted them to do.
This was decades before I even encountered subliminals.
Now I can’t even remember when was the last time someone tried to boss me around.
Edit: I usually don’t tell what people should do. But if something needs to be done, better them than me
