Maybe, just maybe - you should start with a purpose, instead of starting with the identity. Create an alliance to be a politician and everyone will laugh at you. Create a corp, cooperate with other corps and grow into an alliance and you'll actually have something. Pursue a certain playstyle together with a set group of other players and you'll really have something.

Different from what your posts indicate, Eve as a game is interacting with players. Then eventually comes all the shooting, drama and *what label do I put on my character*-stuff. Leading a corporation or alliance of significant size can easily become a great burden without supportive leadership helping you there, so it comes down to finding other players to play together with first, and then you should check how to best contribute to this group.

Sure, I do have a corp that interacts with other Corps and Alliances, a Coalition and other Coalitions, and plan on starting an Alliance.
I am planning on going to buy some more Corp related items tonight which I hope won't go too high to keep me competitive.

To play solo is an interaction with them too. EVE is easier to play multi-player with others as you can do more.
If you have to play solo, it is still possible. I am not saying or suggesting that it is not.
I often try to prove how sometimes I am not given a fair chance to use the potential related to this.

I get shot quite often, and there is cruel drama. I am more trying to test different play style or persona than relying on label or libel.

Leading a corp is not easy and it is easy to miss bills, rules, etc.
There is no use or little to spend energies to try to get people to cooperate when all they want is fight and compete.
It would easily and logically bring the corp down due to management cost and lost income / profit.
I will specialize in solo play for that reason.
I can then subcontract, salvaging, mining, and BH + last manufacturing. Not that I would need to in the wrong circumstances.
I would probably invest into miner ganking.
