No one decides. Who decides which lion becomes the alpha in a pride of lions?
Same as outside. People tend to flock with their own race.
I met alot of interesting people while inside. I rarely let anyone get close to me. I don't really have close friends. I have like a thousand acquaintances but no close friends. It's sad really. I wish I have relationships with people. I just find it difficult to have a connection with anyone.
Okay. So basically there's really no spoken hierarchy among the inmates. They just going along with the flow. When you gain enough respect, you are de facto leader. That's what I understand. Speaking about respect, how do they gain it? With violence? Perhaps something simpler such as how they carry themselves in general (personal discipline, interpersonal skill, etc) ?
The next few questions are kinda personal, if you don't mind answering. You can choose not to.
You seem like smart guy, based on your replies in this thread. How do you see yourself in general? Did you regard your fellow inmates as mentally (or any way) inferior compared to you; thus chose not to be close with them?
How do you see your current friends? Do you feel grateful for those who regularly went to visit you during your stint in prison? (I personally feel you should at least upgrade them to be your bestest friend after all that hassle they went through, if any, haha.)
Do you have any 'friend' that never once visit you in Sg Buluh? Do you still have contact with them after you came out? Is this the *real* reason (speculation) that makes you hesitate to make connection with anyone? In the other words, you faith in humanity has been utterly destroyed?
I sincerely hope that you are not trolling with make up story, mate. I spent a lot of my time writing and editing these questions, LOL.
