Warrior here. It took me some pretty embarrassing red flagging in relationships with good Magi to realize what I was doing wrong. It's so easy to roll over people without meaning to. I'm sad and embarrassed to tell you there are a few people from early in my career who won't return my calls or blocked me on twitter. These are people I deeply respect. It's so easy to fuck this up when you are a decisive competitive extroverted energetic person. I cannot stress enough the importance of a soft touch around quiet creators. If I could humbly recommend a trick that will warn someone like me of the damage they could do. Send an email after the first "stun lock". Explain how the interaction made you feel. If the person isn't toxic they will realize what they've done and apologize immediately. If they don't you're dealing with a grade A asshole and there's honestly nothing you can do short of learning to be a bigger asshole which would probably violate your integrity.
