Despite your best efforts to appear an easygoing person, people recognize you for who you are - a cut above the rest. It's not intentional, but your best theory is that your uneducated control over *stuff* has something of a passive effect, causing people's brains to soften a bit around you.

[No Choice But To Stan]: The effect you have on other often has them defend you when you're wronged, for reasons you can't totally know. Likely they justify it to themselves as "the benefit of the doubt", but it matters not to you. They all fall in line, in the end.
[Maddening]: Knowing the lies of others has put a certain paranoia into you - what if someone else can see as you do? Best not to risk it - though sometimes, it's unavoidable.
