Achilles Complex

The condition that some people have where their fatal flaw is hubris. Hubris is having too much pride to the point of thinking that they do not need help and can do anything on their own without outside help, even when the situation is a snipe with a shotgun.

The condition comes from Achilles in the Trojan War where the gods told him he could not kill all of the Trojans without help but he charged on anyways, which led to his death. The pride inside of him made him charge into battle so he could keep his pride instead of lose his pride, and then his honor.

It's probably best to let the person with Achilles Complex to find out their own way that they will need help with the task at hand. If you insist on helping before they ask, you will miss one thing and another will happen. You will miss them actually asking for help (they just rejected all of their pride), and jumping in before they ask will just anger them. All you can do is wait for their call for help. Then, if you are not a douche, you will help. If you are a douche, then you should kill yourself before the person with Achilles Complex does.
Me: Hey check out the hot blondes over by the pool.
Sam: You will just be shot down. Look around.
Me: I'm doing it anyways.
Sam: You really do have the Achilles Complex. Want my help?
Me: Hell no. If I wanted it, I would have asked.
Sam: Ok. Good luck.

Archive of Our Own

Quick explanation: fan fiction is a story based on a fictional/nonfiction world that deviates from the actual timeline and produces an alternate story. For example, if Naruto characters were in the modern world.

Archive of Our Own is a beta nonprofit website that distributes free fan fiction anyone can write with no advertisements at all. However, the process to write a fan fiction on said website is tedious, as the writing quality of these stories could sometimes rival Harry Potter, bringing up competition. Archive is commonly abbreviated to ao3. This website is commonly known as the holy grail of fan fiction, where the elite stories belong due to the sheer dedication people get, the growing support (albeit anonymous), and its intricate ‘tags’ sorting system. For example, take two people, Bakugou and Midoriya. If you want to see a fan fiction with a relationship between the two, you go to their fandom (Boku no Hero), select Relationships, then Midoriya Izuku/Bakugou Katsuki. This fan fiction may or may not have 5000 kudos (likes).

Other fan fiction websites that are notable for being significantly lower tier than Archive are fanfiction.net (ff.net) and Wattpad (wattpad.com).

In short, Archive of Our Own is the best fanfiction website and you cannot change my mind.
Wait, you read fanfiction?

Yeah, but only on ao3. Wattpad is lwk trash.

You’re not wrong. I mean Archive of Our Own is the best fan fiction website out there.
