You should 'miss' her first 2-3 power plays. Fall into them, bc you arent expecting them. Its simply not in our reality. We assume they meant something different, or have poor social skills. When we finally realize its like 'oh wow I forgot there were people like this', its quickly handled in a passing way that shows we have excess skill and the reason for our delay was not from timidness or lack of skill, but that her behavior is so rare for us our alert system no longer looks for it. It doesn't expect it anymore. If a guy pings on every single potential power play, thats a sign he's are on high alert for any threat. He expects it = it happens frequently to him. That's just not behavior a person who is constantly being socially revered and admired tends to expect, and so his realization of it is very delayed. He may actually never realize it, bc he's literally not expecting it. It doesnt bother him, be he still knows it changes exactly nothing. He may even be happy they feel better about themselves now. We see this in the Russell Brand video. He lets them 'get away' with it for a while. He assumes they are poorly calibrated and tactless, not that their opinion has credibility. He knows he can handle it easily, and he eventually does. As if to say 'lol you really though you had me? you never even had your car' I can't believe you would even think that, and my behavior shows it.
