I don't know, purposely causing yourself serious suffering and maybe even death just because you refuse to accept a medical diagnosis has to be at least SOMEWHAT alpha, even if it is still retarded. Beta would be doing what you're told rather than what you wanted to, right?
I agree with you and all, just splitting hairs on the alpha/beta part. Alpha doesn't imply you make good choices or smart ones, just that you aggressively assert your choices.
Thats beta insecure bravado and we will self discipline. That's not alpha at all. That's what false alphas believe being alpha is.
If you didn't believe you had celiac, or did your own research and believed in a different treatment path without it being secretly because you didn't want to give up pizza and donuts, and chose to disagree with the diagnosis, That's one thing.
Being insecure and weak and fearful of others finding out so you become a loud oppositional "cHaD" to deflect from people seeing through you is stupid and not alpha.
I'm inclined to agree with you again.
