If you stand up for unpleasant truth (over comforting lies) you will be seen as intimidating.
I face this a lot
I think that sounds about right except maybe excluding dealing with a person who have a narcissistic personality
Logic died suddenly
As a white Russian Ukrainian Jewish male, that's a default in America today.
@@spfein You're not White, but you wish you were.
Your personality isn't intimidating because you want it to be. Your personality is intimidating because that's who you are. You don't think or contemplate how to act in order to be you. You naturally act the way that feels natural to you.
I actually hate that about myself, although admittedly I have used it to my advantage at the same time in life. But I know for a fact it's kept people from trying to get to know me, even when I have tried to show that's not necessary and I'm open to it.
Intelligence is intimidating. Intelligence is always growing because you want it to therefore, you can be intimidating because you want to be.
@@vincev4630 Lol yeah I hear people always talkin about how intimidating nerds are saying fuck man is he smart best leave it with him or he’ll slap you with some knowledge 😂
@@neolion8150 - The intimidating ones are not loud. You've probably got played by a dozen nerds already and don't even know it 😂
@@vincev4630lol 99% sure your American . You do know words have actual meaning. Not what you feel they are. 🤡
Best look in a dictionary if you know what one is.
Had friends and family tell me im intimidating. I was like how? I try my best to be kind and friendly.
Now i understand why people feel that way towards me. My honest nature and ability to unwaiver in my values reveals peoples own struggles. Glad to know being honest and upfront and fearless of ridicule helps others refelct on themselves
I guess I am intimidating too!
Some of it can be you physical appearance as unfair as that may be. Especially if you’re very tall and large. That combined with ether awkwardness in talking or no nonsense attitude can come across as intimidating.
Maybe you are just a wanker 😳🤷🏼♂️
I am 6.66 feet tall, and my voice resonates like a deep, loud bass, vibrating through objects like an earthquake. I resemble Clint Eastwood and have an athletic build. I remember when my brother and I went to the doctor, and the doctor told me I would be a very tall man. When we got home, my brother took me to a mirror and said, "I will always be bigger than you."
I recall the day we reunited after almost three years apart. He was so scared that he wrote me six letters confessing all the bullying he had done to me. It was so cute and funny. But it feels good to be intimidating-nobody wants to mess with you.
@@3DVizzion it’s better than being the opposite
People find me intimidating without even saying a word. They feel comfortable with individuals they can easily dominate and laught at.
I get told flat out, usually by women, "men" just avoid me unless they are humble or cerebral.
Ur softer than baby !@#%. Nobody cares
Thats weird
My comment keeps getting reported.... really intimidating.
@@yourHandleShouldBeAtLeast3... 😅 AI is a tyrant bro
I love people with strong personalities! From my experience, they tend to get a LOT done and cut out a lot of BS from their daily lives. It's actually a breath of fresh air because not only are they effective and hard-working people, they also can be some of your biggest advocates (if you're on their good side)
😇🌎✨ This.
I have been pushed away by many people since I was little, and as an adult. I didn't feel lonely, or depressed, because I never got happiness from the external environement. I just did many things with my time instead. I completed my educational goals. Graduated from High School. Graduated from College. I got more involved into visual Arts. Creating Art, Photography. I also compose music for movies, television, and videos. I'm also an author. I spent my time wisely, and don't spend time on things that don't benefit me. I have a lot to do, and I'm never bored.
This is literally me, I have done each and each and every thing you have written in this comment except being depressed
You are a HUGE inspiration. Any advice for someone who wants to pursue similar endeavors?
That's called having a stoic life. Not a moment in life wasted or unused.
You know, I find this contradictory though. If you have pursuits or a career that relies on collaboration with others like much of that has to for success, how much can you truly be solitary?
no no no no, you're definitely lonely and depressed because you're not surrounded by people and doing all the things you're told to do by others. clearly. never have faith in yourself or confidence, that's not healthy.
The only people who are intimidated by your strong personality are those who lack self-confidence. You can have a strong personality, and still speak your mind and be a considerate person. You are who you are and if people don't like it that's too bad. You shouldn't make it your problem. I would rather be known as intimidating, than somebody who lacks bounderies and is easy to manipulate.
Well said, this generation is weak minded
Yes!!
I (female) have a cousin (male) two years older than me. He has always excelled academically, as well as in his chosen profession. We are 100% never been in any way competitors. But he has always disliked me for absolutely no reason. My father (a military collaborative, yet alpha-male - and the brother to my cousin’s mother) has always told me “he doesn’t like you because he’s insecure”. I could never understand that. I’m 45 and just starting to be able to understand. My cousin, with all of his success, left his tiny hometown once: to go away to a state school 2.5 hours away, when he was 18 years old. He flunked out in his first semester and had to move back home to attend the local community college. Whereas I was raised all over because of my military father, I graduated high school and lived all over the US and even abroad for a time. I am perfectly content (and prefer) to be a small, anonymous, fish in a big pond. My cousin cannot adapt outside of feeling like a big fish in a tiny pond. I just feel sorry for him.
@@katiejon17 I'm 18 male and done with college and high school but my older siblings act all intimated and jealous of me when I'm around and I'm the baby but they don't help or encourage me. They just try and drag me down to their level and my father says I have to be the first one to leave home (the baby) to save my mental health. I can't hold myself back anymore to make my siblings feel better. That's why we all can't relate. People always call me the smartest of the 5 and I hate it
I totally agree and I am the same. Take me as iam.
If the world wasn’t so morally bankrupted people wouldn’t need to be “ intimidated “… I call it just being authentic.
Excellent point! 💯

I was at a bar alone once, every girl would just walk past me and not even smile, then one of them came up to me and said "3 of my friends think you're really hot but very intimidating" I was shook lol whole time I was thinking I was just really unattractive 😂
I used to think I was very unattractive too but learned its that STRONG intimidation vibe.. especially when I use my eyes to communicate, maybe you do the same too. Honestly it was the biggest wake up when people finally starting admitting to me that initially I seemed/seem intimidating
yep im intimidating bc i call the bullcrap out in people one thing im realky good at is reading people and some things you can only learn on the streets what people fail to realize i been therr done that at age 12
atleast now i can go through the proper channels and get all the perverts exposed
@@TomRados what you mean? I'm not connecting this what you expressed above.
@@TheMedicineMan_29this person is trying to make this about something that it's not. That right there is a red flag always. People in bars always find me intimidating. You either have to not care or you have to employ tactics consciously to not come off that way.
Intimidating people don’t need this video, we know and some of us have come to accept it and wish it wasn’t the case. But people are weak.
People suck, no moral compass or they are just plain worthless.
I'm here for the opposite reason. sometimes, I feel like people aren't fully comfortable around me... So sometimes i wonder "am i scary/intimidating to them?". in terms of physical presence i'm a pretty big guy and i'm brutally honest sometimes, so maybe that's why(my close friends tell me i don't have enough of a filter). When i was in highschool I sarcastically pretended to be angry as a joke but some of the people in the area genuinely thought i was angry, got scared, and reported it to a teacher. I literally clicked on this video to figure out how to be LESS intimidating and more inviting. People are interesting and i'd like for people to feel comfortable around me once in a while, not on edge 24/7
I can't stand people anymore, lying, deceitful, manipulative, users & abusers. It's all competition, they will destroy you with a smile on their face same with family the gaslighting is unreal. No real Respect so I go it alone
@@danielingyuyoon2952no you're not.
When people say you're intimidating.. its not you, but them.
Many people grow up without a spine, never been in tough situations and always protected by lovely mom and dad.
Those people find anything that isnt soft boiled, intimidating.
@@Happythings354Lets just dissect this chain logically.
This guy wants to be less intimidating to his peers. A fine goal. Nothing wrong with that.
Sometimes I raise my voice without noticing, and no it isn’t manly or cool to ignore it to feel “alpha”. Thats emotional behaviour.
And no if your peers are threatened by you they aren’t weak. Its an unusual situation to sense you put someone in, and normal human beings don’t feel joy from that.
Spend time around cops, soldiers etc. any first responders too. You’ll notice real men who actually do brave things on a daily basis don’t play these virgin games with people.
Its just emotional immaturity thats it. And its not masculine to think how you do.
I train in martial arts and I was told that I had a strong personality and drive I was told that I was intimidating not because I'm a bully or a mean person because my self esteem and self respect is on another level 💯
BINGO 🎯 “SELF ESTEEM + SELF RESPECT”
Even if you smile all the time people see your strength inside and get afraid.
It is impossible to hide a truly great individual. You will subconsciously display traits of strength.
Just made from a different cloth!!!
❤❤
I have always been a big reader and self determined person. Very low tolerance for self-labeled "alpha" personalities, low tolerance for passive-aggressive people and group thinkers. One of the most useful things I have learned about most people is that when people ask your opinion about something, they want your support, not your critical thought or honest informed position. I have found that if asked for an opinion, I first respond with.. "You are not going to like everything I have to say"...most people find a way to move on to friendlier climes
Interesting video content. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let him go i did all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring him back
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is Shelly renee white , and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
@@laurawheeler-px6oz
Lol, wow, now there’s spam for Ms. Cleo. 😂
My clients have always loved me but my coworkers generally did not like me. Clients say he's so smart. Coworkers say he thinks he's so smart. I regret wasting years trying to make it work in a corporate environment. I'm self-employed and much happier. I do admit that there's more money to be made if you can work well with others.
When you are a cut above all it does is make people jealous and perceive you as a threat. No point in being the smartest person in the room without a higher position. People will tear you and try to lower your confidence. Harshness of life but we learn to maneuver it. Better shun your ego as to not give your 'enemies' any weapons against you.
@@taitohandy People move into "higher" positions because they're not the smartest person in the room. People are promoted beyond their competency...
So you're more of a solo when it comes to work. If you really want to improve and work with others, you might want to start learning how to become a leader instead of a boss.
@@newera478 "I do admit that there's more money to be made if you can work well with others."
All money is not good money. Working for yourself is better options. Remember there lost your GAIN .
I work in an environment where these traits are highly important, and I’m known for pretty much all of them. A lot of people have praised me for the individual traits, but others have labeled me as “intimidating” for their own reaction to the totality. I will say that they tend to be weaker personalities, lacking both judgment and self-confidence. Their weaknesses mean they find those traits alien and “threatening” in others. The contrast magnifies their own short-comings and makes them defensive, trying to build themselves up by injuring me. (Anyone labeling someone as “intimidating” is always trying to assign a negative connotation.) But I’ve never had anyone who was competent and effective and confident in their own right ever think of me as “intimidating.” They would all probably laugh themselves silly. 🤣
Practice the art of not giving a toss with certain reservations.
It's not about not giving a F*, its about saying and doing the right thing, which is very rare now 'a days.
❤
It's just the art of not giving a fk🤔
🤣😂😅👍👍
I see. 😇🌎✨
My personality is so strong that people look at me and literally run away from me before I say anything. 😂
😂😂😂
Is it the face tattoos 😅
@@user-yw8qf8cc3tlike Mike Tyson? Mike is an intimidating man to most yeah
It's ALL about if others have low self esteem & low self confidence (which is very common lol). I just go about my day, ignoring them & focus on down to earth & genuine people, my TRIBE
Yes, and reality is, sadly, 80%+ people in the world do have low self-esteem and are very insecure.
This is pretty good. I know I have a strong personality. I’ve spent most of my life alternating between masking it (playing small) in order not to step on toes and just letting it all hang out lol. It’s exhausting. It’s kind of pointless to have a strong personality unless you’re going to be a CEO or an entrepreneur. The rest of us just have to deal with the fact that we have a target on our foreheads. My bosses always feel intimidated by me. But newsflash: I don’t want your job!! I just want to be left alone, and then I want to go home and be with my family.
ive finally arrived at my true destination , zero friends zero acquaintances zero circus and monkeys of others and .....loving it mate
😊🌎✨
Working on my assertiveness was one of the best things I have done in my life. Highly recommend it to everyone.
I'm 42, how do these younger generations define "Intimidating" when the majority have no social skills to begin with? What do they consider "Sociable" & "Approachable"? 🤔
Don't know.
I'm 36. What do you mean "no social skills"?
@@SebHaarfagre The fact they find someonw with social skills, "Intimidating."
Who knows they're all a bunch of fools
They think sociable means talking on a discord server.
It says "Intimidating Personality". Some people can influence others just by looking at them.
F.e. Thugs are not intimidating, they are dangerous and stupid. Trump is intimidating, even when somebody likes him.
There is a finer art to calling out the BS people believe while respecting their intelligence without calling them out, per se, but opening the door for them to see the BS for themselves. That is the next level.
I need all the understanding skills I can get.
Thank you!
I am learning this right now. Socratic method is awesome...
Thanks Hawk. 😊🌎✨
I am hated and suspect. I tell them if you’re not feeding me, fing me, or paying my mortgage, why would I be concerned with what you think……fyi started out life as a people pleaser.
I say the same. 😂
We all started out life as dependent, people pleasing children...and punished for doing otherwise...

I'm actually glad I gave this video a chance.
Once I stopped caring about others' opinions of me and became vocal of the logical points I would bring up, especially whenever others would let their emotions take over, THAT'S when I really noticed the general respect I would receive from most others. Keeping a level head can confuse even the biggest (ego, physically, whatever) of ppl
My entire life I was pushing myself to be stronger in my character because growing up was hard in my house. As an adult people have told me more and more that they either love me or can't stand me. This video has explained SO much!
Strong personality that people are afraid of and who are intimidated, they're against it
This comes across more as arrogance maybe, but I follow this code for my day to day:
“Don’t worry about what others think of you, since you don’t really care about what’s going on in their heads and they likely don’t care about you.
If they’re friends or family, don’t hide a thought if you think it may upset them - they need to know if you think it’s important.
Call out bullsh*t when you see it, cause seeing people pucker is really satisfying.”
Except for the last schadenfreude part ( 😂) perhaps, I can't find anything wrong with any of this.
You can be emphatic and still be no-nonsense.
If you can recognize someone struggling and give them some respite, and recognize who are full of themselves and needs to be grounded, all the better.
Usually these videos are toxic. This one is good
How can videos be toxic i think your over sensitive
Dummy
People with low intelligence think most ideas are toxic.
@@BelieveNothingAllLies Oh, in many different ways.
@@BelieveNothingAllLies Think of how the subject of NPD is trending so heavily today, and how most everyone says to just "go no contact" with them?
Now, think of how there are all kinds of videos up about that you are a "Chosen One" if you do this/that, right?
So NPDs believe that they are "special, privileged... chosen".
Therefore folks that go by I'm a "Chosen One!" will likely often be referred to as a NPD.
Know what I mean?
me: i have an intimidating personality
*actually just autistic*
Lol
Maybe both for you
I work with someone that is on the spectrum that people take the wrong way because they are blunt and rational. I’m stoic and reserved and say little until I need to. He’s one of my favorite colleagues because we understand each other.
To most, an autistic mind represents not just an unknown but an unknowable. Most are so intimidated by the unknown that they are induced to fear.
@@rickybobby5950I am like your friend. I share an office with a woman who has a son like me. She and I get along great. And the small handful.of.other people I work well with also tend.to be extremely logical and straightforward. And those who are very emotionally driven - especially the ones who try to codify and amplify all the unwritten rules of social dominance games - I avoid. Fortunately I have found my way into a field where one of the most valuable things I can offer is "the outsider's perspective". My ways let me remain perpetually the outsider. So I get to function almost like a resident management consultant.
I NEVER even KNEW some of these things applied to myself… it all makes sense NOW! lol.
I'm having an 'ah ha' moment myself! 😁
I accidentally inspired somebody to take a chance at something they wouldn't have done had we not met. I told the truth, shared my experiences, knowledge, and helped fill in some blanks.
You can have a personality that intimidates people but it doesn't mean people are jealous. People that are perceived by others as intimidating, believe it or not, can actually be unpleasant people to be around. Simple as that. A lot of these people weaponize the gift of intimidation. A trait that is valued in our western society.
The "gift of intimidation" and bullying? What dodgy traits are valued by our society. For whatever happened to compassion and caring attitudes?
The woman who requires no validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet.
yeye make this thing also about strong women
No such thing.
It must be fantasy time.
Absolutely true.
Also doesn't exist if such woman is also doing what's right
I 100 percent have this. When I met my wife, I was told that her Daddy, brother, and cousins would try me. To which I replied "so", and they never once tried. And I am not a big man, they're all way bigger than me but I won't back down, I'm set in my ways, and I'm comfortable being me. Good breakdown of this, enjoyed watching
After 59 years, I’ve never had this pointed out to me. So I’ll continue being unapologetic.
Wow!
the only time I ever aplogise is when I am wrong witch is very rare all I will say is oops my mistake
I thought validation was for parking.
Being unapologetic isn't a weakness, it's simple politeness. The world doesn't revolve around _you._
@@scruf153 If you're wrong you *SHOULD* apologize or admit it. Dissonance, decadence, ignorance and gluttony are the absolute worst traits.
Also your mind will never grow/you will never develop as a person if you can't admit faults.
People who expect others to think _for_ them, and people who don't care about others (emphatically) are straight garbage for humanity, pardon me.
Scary how many things hit home.. I swear this phone spits stuff it knows at me .
Algorithm
This is most validating video on TH-cam I have watched ever. Thanks.
This is extremely well done and very helpful. This needs far more recognition and views.
About a week ago my brother told me I scare people.
About 10 years ago a cycling buddy who was much older than me told me other people were intimidated by me. He then told me I was one of the nicest guys he had ever met.
Back to my brother...
All I could say was it's not on me that they're intimidated easily. I don't posture I'm not rude, friendly and outgoing.
I was in prison for 12 years😂 my mom thinks I'm mean.. no.. just no games..real man overcommer.. im 39 my gfs all say I act better.... I can't be acting I tell them I just am
These discussions are meaningless unless you include the info as to why you scare them or intimidate them. That's missing here from what your brother had to say.
@@BigBadJerryRogers my brother never said why people are scared but I can only imagine It's because I usually see through people's bullshit.
In other words I don't give shit and I don't take shit...
@@BigBadJerryRogers and I would disagree with this... People are simply trying their best to relate to this video and share some of their experiences..
@@stellarcreations7378 well actually since you put it that way you just sound like you're very into yourself. So why would anyone want to bother with you? That's also missing here.
I like how you mentioned Schopenhauer quotes. 🎉
What a lot of people don't understand about this topic is that while you may be intimidating to some people, you still may be intimidated by others, yourself. There's levels to it. In fact, you can track your progress in life by counting the various demographics that either you intimidate, or that intimidate you. I'm at the level right now where the average, somewhat unsuccessful person is clearly intimidated by me, but entrepreneurs and up are not, and they may even intimidate me instead.
I agree with you
Agreed.
Yes, thank you, and a lot of the comments are just self-confirmation biases and comments seeking validation, which is highly ironic given some of them claim to hit all these "checkmarks" in the first place.
This video can explain some situations which perhaps did not make as much sense before. This video is good for _self reflection,_ it's not supposed to reinforce people's dissonance.
A lot of the comments I find stupid.
This is one of the better ones.
Edit: Also this is not just about work, but daily interactions. I don't find any men intimidating. However, I find some women "intimidating". Because I know they can ruin lives, and some even (unsuccessfully) tried or "tried". A gang in hoodies in a tunnel after midnight in a shady area with no other people around is intimidating. Being in a foreign country alone as a tourist is intimidating, if you're not prepared for it. An interviewer for a job who sounds like he/she's more interested in loading off a bad day at you than hiring you, can be intimidating (and counter-productive and stupid, to be honest, and genuinely a self-dodging bullet, if they're trying to be "bossy" just for the sake of it; not a place you want to work).
I worked with an ex-torpedo chef, frying pans flying and whatnot. He was not intimidating. Because I had no reason to piss him off, and also some of hte things that ticked him off ticked me off as well.
If I was with someone I knew was a psychopath, I'd be intimidated. Not by stature or outward behaviour, but knowing they are not rational.
Gay people intimidate me a little bit, because I think they "want" me just for being a man, which is irrational, and I'm cognizant about this and still polite. Some lesbians are out to "get" men. Out of jealousy or psychopathy, I don't know.
People with weapons behaving irrationaly - for example an angry woodcutter with a chainsaw - intimidate me.
I don't see any reason to be intimidated by other people in general who I don't know. It makes no sense.
I never thought about if I intimidate others, as I'm always trying to be my best and generally people like me or think I am very kind and tolerant.
But I certainly is an "unmovable object" in public, not much faze me, I seldom look down at my phone, I look at people or the life or are deep in thoughts looking out a window on public transport. I generally keep a distance to others (after all, I like my personal space myself) although I don't mind people sitting next to me on the bus or something. If I need to interact with someone, I don't think about it I just do it. But generally, there's no reason to. I like to sit with my own thoughts. I help or have small talks with beggars some times (not the ones that chase you with a cup). Last time I bought a coffee (he didn't want anything else).
Welp, long digression. It's all free flow. I have OCPD hence the long comment. I like to write a lot sometimes so it's mostly for me, but perhaps it also can give some insight for other people. Not everyone is like me, but generally, a lot of people who are "intimidating" can be really nice people.
I think it's dangerous to think it's about levels that are on top of each other. That's highly misleading. It can just as well be circular. Some exec can be intimidated by some normal person, while he is not intimidated by you.
There are millions of reasons why someone might be intimidated. It might be something a person says or how this person acts or some resemblance to someone familiar...
@@MaviLeb if we're gonna try and be specific about how it can overlap, I'd say it's like a tangled ball of yarn.
This video really resonated with me since all 8 traits apply to me but if I’m being honest, you could replace “strong intimidating personality” with “mild Asperger’s syndrome” in the title without having to change the video at all.
Tons of value here, thank you so much !
5:06 As a unique, powerful relationship coach, that’s precisely why so many are afraid to reach out to me online. Unfortunately mentally and emotionally weak people will forever target you as a means of venting their offline real life frustrations. Though Im here to help people online as well, I always find that it’s infinitely easier helping far more people offline than online because immature people can easily disrespect someone online versus daring to insult you in person for literally no logical reason other than struggling with highly negative feelings such as jealousy and envy.
My level of intelligence and wisdom can be extremely intimidating only to those who lack self confidence and willpower to achieve what I’ve achieved through hard work and determination. But there’s always hope that such toxic people may open their eyes one day. Thats just a small reason why I continue to help those who truly want to live better lives, especially within the beautiful realm of love ❤️
You are intimidating to certain people who have too much to hide. Civilization talks about entitlement vs. spiritual communities honor spiritual gifts.
Do you have too much hide? I can make a carpet, a trench coat even hehehe
This gives one to ponder about oneself. Subbed!
The problem with this video is everyone who watches this may take a couple of things from it they see in themselves and so then think yes it's me. That can be very ego inflating in an ignorant and self absorbed way. Being completely disagreeable and having a belief that you are right can often be a disadvantage as you close up to the idea your way is the correct one. It prevents growth and learning and can make a person become stale and set in their ways
I've noticed a pattern with a lot of these videos and a lot of these behaviors are also prominent in personality disorders. It's not healthy to be a selfish egomaniac or a narcissist, and there's a fair bit of crossover here.
It is only a disorder when you are alive, in the end all join together, this is why you should embrace evil, distort here and there makes no difference in the end, you can judge but will be warped and become the same, evil is good
I got this at work years ago when we were doing a 360° test for managers (ask people around how they see you), and it surprised me a lot, because I always tried to be as kind and considerate as possible. Turns out the intimidating factor was mostly people knew they couldn't fool me, and it wasn't specially negative, more just because I'm a fact-checker and truth-teller. At the same time, it brings trust and respect, because people also know you'll have their back if needed. Just, I think, never pair intimidating and condescendant, being intimidating is not something to 'use', more a natural consequence of who you are, and doesn't mean people don't like you.
Nothing speaks louder than silence.
I'm not intimidating, you're just easy to intimidate.
But because you find to easy to intimidate or bully someone, does that mean you should?
Always wondered why people were so intimidated by me. Now I know. Thankyou.
Better to be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
But... usually "intimidating" is the excuse they use rather than just being honest and saying I'm ugly.
I resonate with all 8. Good to know, thanks!
Yep, I feel dumb right now too!
Definitely resonate with this video.
Pretty good video. Alot of points hit home for me. I never really cared what people think. At work I know I intimidate people.
And how many of us grew up with benign neglect? ✋️
The only other person I interact with regularly that’s like me is my mom. Realizing for a long time that I am extremely intimidating to people I don’t know well is something I have leveraged many times to improve things for a lot of other people. Learning to leverage your advantages is the most essential game of life. If you’re not an intimidating person I hope you make friends with someone who is and has a strong sense of morality, because if you are a good person they will fall on a spear before watching you suffer.
Great video keep up the good work!
I`ll keep that advice in this video in mind thoughout this life thanks for this video good day.
Just because someone feels intimidated doesn't mean I'm intimidating. They're not intimidated by me, but rather, what they already know about themselves.
Excellent video, very true.
This is great thank you!❤🏁
Thank you for this brilliant In formation .
Thank you for sharing
I’m 63 and I’ve always been this guy, although until I was middle aged I didn’t realize I was intimidating to people. Back then I was baffled by the powerful fear and intimidation people felt by me. I’m tall, quick-witted and funny. I’ve read thousands of books and knew since I was 12 that I have a very high IQ. So I didn’t get it before, but now I completely get it. Most people are incredibly insecure and I’m not at all. I’ve learned to be non threatening to put people at ease. Again the humor and wit helps a LOT.
Yes!
As somebody who checks all of the above-mentioned points, I'd like to say that being alienated is pretty real, even if polite and cordial way opinions are given. Most folks want to feel comforted instead of being confronted. And, since tech is accessible to even young ones, I am going to say, majority folks lack certain level of social skills and or confidence to make correct judgements or accept facts. It's all right though. People being people. Nice video. Even though I have no idea why it showed up in my feed...
Thanks for sharing
Guys scared of me for no reason and women think im a serial killer. Always have to work hard to calm people down.
Kind related,😊
*I literally shared that Denzel quote with someone a few hours ago, then it was ironically in this video. Bizarre!!!*
I was confused when I experienced the reactions of people from a young ish age.
I spent years in therapy to be more transparent so I could perhaps, more seen for who I really am rather than being intimidating. I’m still intimidating! 😂 it’s much of what’s said here, my presence is strong, people look, at conferences colleagues notice the speakers are looking at me frequently???
I am wholly committed to being direct, real and honest.
It can be lonely xx
I go with the crowd but I am relaxed unfazed yet quick to correct authority figures as I see them as equal to me which causes conflict.
I have never gone with the crowed what the crowed does is childish and dumb to me
was born loving been alone.. and a thinker.. my parents saw it as a weakness, a defect or a flaw and beat the shit out of me.. well thats in the past.. i do love them as an adult now.. they left a scar on me emotionally and in my esteem.. but as an adult i ve learnt and still learning to love myself.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOUR PARENTS GAVE YOU A HARD TIME... JUST KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYONE EVER COULD & HE CAN HEAL THE SCARS & PAIN
I’ve been told I was intimidating. I’m here to figure out what this really means. I realize now it may not be a bad thing.
I've become less of a people person the older I've gotten. I used to be just very honest, even when it was against my best interest and that got me into a heap of trouble. Then over time I started to understand that many people will use the truth against you if you give them the information to do so. I hold back more, but I did develop an attitude and am no longer timid but more impatient with people as many people I find to be illogical and self-serving no matter the stakes and I am avidly against that nonsense. However, I have made tons of enemies, burned bridges, I find it hard to even function in society because whenever I'm around people even in a good mood it doesn't take long for me to become annoyed or overwhelmed with how other people operate. It's become very intimidating for me to even deal with other people because I know that I cannot be myself/express myself and be welcome among other people. I do so very sparsely and only as a last resort. I do not see myself ever being integrated into society, especially not with healthy relationships. I genuinely feel that I'm better off away from other people as much as possible for my own peace and sanity.
Having such a personality I agree 100 %
I'm at #3 so far and I'm flabbergasted. Never really thought too much about this. I know I'm very kind and tolerant. But I keep ticking off every single box. It could explain some experiences... and why I could not rationalize blaming myself, even though I did.
Edit: 4 😂 I mean all of these are basically the _core_ things about who I am (with some others)
The rest as well. But it's situational and contextual. I still don't think I'm intimidating and I think there must be other/more factors, but I can understand some of it, and that it may be intimidating to some people.
If I'm intimidating to contentiously narcissistic or sadistic people, all the better.
Avoid needy ones, clingy, victim mentality, high maintenance, me me me - go with happy go lucky, positive & grateful for small things individuals. Your life will be so much happier. Practice it yourself as well.
Big difference in being able to handle loneliness and wanting to be alone.
No one should want to be alone, if you do then you have some issues that you need to figure out before it gets more detrimental to your mental health.
Being able to handle loneliness and being alone is a sign of strong mental health and fortitude, but that only lasts for so long, we are social animals who thrive on being in groups and socializing.
Don't worry u hear the voices, your not alone, the voices in the dark
There's a distinction between strong personality because of values they hold and strong willed people who want to have it there way. I have been growing in emotional maturity and realizing that trying to get the validation of others has been holding me back. So you can say that a strong personality is made or developed and not necessarily something you are born with.
💯 facts I don't mind being alone, nd Def saying the truth with respect.
I wonder how many people said “ya that’s me” in their head and everyone actually thinks they’re weird or annoying
tbh tho thats the reaction people get for going against the norm so people gonna think their weird as if they were normal they wouldnt have the traits in the video, but the annoying part is pretty spot on if someone is just being a dick and loud kinda guy usually their idiots and will say theyre just "intimidating" or the person on the receiving end of people like the description in the video is insecure and is simply projecting making them perceive them as annoying..
its a layered concept
Loud wrong answer buzzer
@@futokarin9745not necessarily. People who are weird are intimidating because people are for the most part tribal and not being part of a tribe can be considered unsafe. But the term weird is a very large umbrella and there's degrees.
ME ASF 😂😂
Oh we have awaken 😮
This was helpful ❤
Now I know why people barely talk to me, I don't see myself as scary, sure I'm serious but when people become my friend then they talk a bit more but still avoid me
I TREASURE MY OWN COMPANY! I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEED AND A WANT.
I was told once that i was intimidating because of my size and the way i carried myself. Hell im always smiling and i like to laugh n have fun. Then again at 6'3" and ariund 270-280lbs back then,i guess I could be a little intimidating. Thing of it is, i was always confident about myself and i never thought of it as intimidating to some.
Great video
looking up to or wanting to be this is a direct tell that you are not this. Truth will out.
It is important, as a strong person, to know how to talk to people. Creating relationships of positivity and inclusion is far more productive. Intimidation is a poor strategy.
Usually the people who find this intimidating are the ones who care what others think too much. They aren't trying to be intimidating, but the objective reality of the content scares people. Most people are often non-confrontational by nature, and would rather judge the person as "intimidating" or "overbearing" to deflect and not have to think about it. In objective reality, it's not intimidating.
My husband has told me numerous times that people at his workplace find him intimidating. I always thought that was strange, because I don't find him intimidating. Why is that?
Life as an INTP. I’m good in me. Others are noted, but are secondary to priorities.
me too and im infp i am me and theres no one else id rather be
ENTJ and this is gospel for us NTs! We do what we want and need. I am exactly who I am and make no apologies for what I do.

I am not entirely like this, but some are correct for me. Good video anyway!
I try so hard to not be intimidating. But if I'm not rolling over to play dead, then somehow I'm hurting someone's feeling or being offensive. I'm working toward a silent hermitage. But sometimes I wish people would just toughen up
I got at least 7 out of 8. This explains a lot.
I only have give people 'a look', and if someone issues BS, I don't say a word, I just lift up my right eyebrow, that causes plenty trouble. Peace and not too much goodwill.
I'm on the edge of all of these. Dang.
I've lost jobs because I've lived by Number 3 my whole life. I became a target for those morally questionable employees trying to take advantage of supervisors (and usually succeeeding - oh, the exit interviews were so fun!).
