Being an alpha has nothing to do with hormones.
They may help, but its a mindset in the end, everything from how you handle confrontation to what drives you. Alpha males fear, are depressed, worry, can be suicidal, and everything a beta is with the exception of laziness, timidness, and mediocrity in general.
A beta looks for the most painless clean way to commit suicide and fails in attempted overdose of flinstones vitamins.
An alpha commits suicide and succeeds with an overdose of hydrashock hollow points.
Alpha or beta we are all only human and we all feel the same things, we only deal with them differently.
