My perspective regarding my point is this. People are so lost in life. They don’t know if what they are doing is right (even if they tell you they are sure hahaha), there is still this need for validation and making sure you are doing the right thing. You look at others, trying not to stand out too much and all.
That’s how human being have evolved, we are group animals and I would say that the anxiety generated by doubts (and god knows how much anxiety there is this day!!!) and just the existential fear that exists arw encouraging people to find certainty, to find order in thid chaos.
When they see someone certain (a.k.a. a leader, alpha male), they feel reassured. Everything is going to be all right, he is there and he (you in that case) knows what is up.
You become this beacon of “anti-existentionnal-fear” to illuminate them in the darkness of life. They feel safer with you, they feel better with you.
And to be honest, don’t you feel better when you are with someone who exude this aura of certainty, this aura of “everything is gonna be alright”
