Intimidating Or No?

[ZhukovCodeslinger]

I often have this problem.... I try not to, but its hard seeing as I have a high I.Q., a Large Penis, and lots and lots of guns.... I think the worst was when I caught someone fucking me over, and philosphised with them at gun point while threatening to fuck them in the ass (with my HUGE penis)

[phee]

Everyone says that I look mean, angry and arrogant everywhere I go.  But all I want to do is be a puppy!  I don't get it!

I pheel your pain

It's all true...

[Slept with ghost]

yes people have been known to shit their pant by my presence

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I can be aloof, and people sometimes interpret that as stuck-up and/or intimidating. :erm

[JaneDead]

i have never once been told i am intimidating. i have been told i am very approachable though. which makes me think about how strangers in stores always come up to me and 1. ask me my input about something they want to buy or 2. just strike up a conversation with me. i wonder if that get that "approachable" vibe from me?

i know i am shy but i hope that never translates to intimidating.

[Head Wreck]

depends which head wreck your talking to.

been told i have an intimidating growl. and i do like to intimidate oponents before a sword fight. makes them complacent

[Shade Everdark]

Actually, after meeting you, I don't see you as even remotely intimidating. You're just so....so.....handsome.

I rest my case.

I concur with that as it's happened to me, but that says waaay more about everyone else and that is a scary fact. People lack courage and self-esteem in spades.

[lestat]

ok this is a though one, I manage to get along good with other people but I don't think people come up to me because of the way I look. not the punk stuff but simply because I am big and bald with a go tee but I have worked in jobs that deal with so many people and little old grandma’s have no problems with me in fact I get hugged allot by them when I leave??? So I’m not sure

but as far as looking some one in the eye well ithink people who don't look me in the eye are lying or hinding something. just drives me nuts almost like the limp hand shake

[Nienna]

I have been told that I am intimidating and come off as cold. I'm not sure about the intimidating part... I am tall and do make alot of eye contact. The cold part may be because I'm actually really shy. I have to force myself to be social and I always feel uptight so I come off as standoffish or something. It sucks!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Both of those things drive me insane!!

I have been told by many people that I am intimidating, particularly the staff people that work with my clients in their homes. I don't get it. People have also told me that I looked pissed off or sad all the time, or that I seem cold. *shrugs*

[Scary Guy]

i'm tall and have a cold spock like atitude, and I've heard it from a few people. If I had more muscle I might believe them.

[unchaste]

I've been told by "normal" people that I look mean, beacause i don't smile unless someone is making me. In places like city club(when surrounded by much gothlier people than myself), though, I'm just as approachable & lovable as everyone else.

To me, you were just quiet.

[Scary Guy]

People have also told me thats kind of intimidating and I should talk more. I'm a quiet guy, they can get over it.

[Brenda Starrr]

It's not intimidating. It's just quiet.

[EatAjaxAndDie]

I have been told by many people that I am not intimidating, but I just look kinda sad most of the time. However, I can be intimidating when I'm angry or just in a bad mood in general. I attempt not to be intimidating, gives more of a suprise when I need to be.

[Homicidalheathen]

I just have kinda a rant about this very subject. I walk into my drumming circle about 2 years ago. I lock eyes with this lady....I don't know what it was...I think we were in a coven together before and did powerful magic workings....our eyes just both at the same time.....saw something in each other. Something powerful....strong...maybe even dark at times.

We hung out all night and everyone kept asking if we were sisters.

I gave her my number and email addy and never heard from her.

Then I see her later and she ignores me.....twice.....then I heard that she told someone I never called her.....she didn't even give me her number! I guess I will just mark that one off and consider her too much of a flake to be freinds.....?

[Aralis]

I have been told I am very unapproachable and look rather bitchy. I do not think so.

I do not think I am intimidating. I just usually try not to look approachable in certain places...like the bar....when I am there with my friends. I do not want to be bothered or hit on....I am married.

[Mikielikesit]

I have been told i can be very intimidating...but I think my bark is worse then my bite.........GRRRRRRRRRR

[Soulrev]

I know I'm intimidating, and I've never taken advantage of it until now..

Now excuse me while I beat the shit out of my best friend and we'll be "cool" again.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

I think the only people that find me intimidating are my imaginary friends (they never visit, but i was told as a young boy we all have imaginary friends and those bastards NEVER come over... WTF)

I rarely get actually "intimidated" by people but some people do increase my headache/anxiety level when they seem Angry/Mean/Irritable/standoffish or some that actually DO approach me but then put some sort of bizzare negative spin on everything i say (same difference, just a different type of "standoffish"). I tend to just leave them alone, have enough drama to deal with, without having to amp up my already high anxiety level dealing with people that dont want to be talked to. Pretty clear to me that there ARE people out there that dont want any new friends and like it that way, i'd rather not deal with that personality type. Having a live-in girlfriend constantly blaming me for every possible ill that ever came upon her probably talk me this skill heh. *wipes brow*

Dont want to be talked to by me? Just give me the blank stare and look away once or twice, that "problem" will be solved pretty quickly. Life is to short. I WANT to be friends with everyone , but unfortunately, the feeling isn't mutual.

Want to talk? "Hi troy..." *smile* *hold attention for longer than 30 seconds* Pretty easy huh? =)

More than one of the above people did, initally, give me the "dont talk to me" vibe (and a few still do) which, i tend to respond to , regardless of the actual words that come out of the mouth. "Hi... how are you?..." *polite comment* Then im gone, intentionally. Worst feeling in the world is trying to be nice to someone that would just rather not have you around.

I think it is a good thing to be kind to people, even if they sometimes are not kind in return. If we are nice to only people that are nice to us, what noble thing have we done?

But, breaking myself on a wall isn't something im up for , at least not anymore. I still love everybody, just cant actively participate in non-reciprocal friendships like i used to. Dont have the energy. Oh well. Can only please so many people. C'est la vie =)
