15 Signs You Have A Strong Intimidating Personality

[@SuccessFormulas]

Which of these traits have you recognized in yourself? Do you consider yourself to have a strong intimidating personality? Let us know in the comment section. We love reading your comments.

[@nodozhit]

I definitely can relate to a most of those traits, if not all of them. It just took me awhile to realize that my own personal sense of agency, autonomy, assertiveness, and self-assurance were reasons enough for why some of my coworkers and peer groups would become passive-aggressive towards me. I still believe that it's more a matter of them just being jealous hearted and covetous of what other people possess, than it is a matter of them feeling intimidated our presence. Simply stated, they have either an underdeveloped or a one dimensional fixed mindset with a twisted sense of unearned entitlement, which leads to this self-perpetuating cycle of narcissistic abuse syndrome because they don't understand how to build up for themselves, and it's easier to tear down anyone else who tries. This intergenerational curse isn't even a new trend in human behavior because it's been documented every since recorded history. Biblical/ historical figures like Jesus Christ, the ancient philosopher, Socrates, Julius Ceasar, etc., all lost their lives in sake of these lost souls. My point is if anyone feels intimidated by my humble presence, then you need to re-evaluate your self. Find a better way to add value to your own circle of influence. Control what you can, and accept the things which is not yours to control.

This puts so much into perspective for me. I’ve always wondered why people who don’t even know me don’t like me or find me threatening without even having a conversation with me or getting to know me. It took me a long time to understand and realize that it’s not me but it’s them. Not conforming has cost me so much but since gaining a better understanding of myself and others I am at peace. For those that can relate. Stay true to you. For you are chosen. ❤❤❤❤

[@thisisme3238]

@@icequeen491 Personally, I think they use us as their "sounding board" to vent their frustrations. IMO

[@aleshapeters]

This sums up my school experiences (and sometimes in the real world too) and why people were being mean for no reason, being jealous, and stabbing me in the back. Or why some people didn't want to give the friendship a chance, or why people disappeared during hard times. It's their insecurities and not my problem but I'm definitely aware of it. In recent years I had to cut out a toxic religion, people, places and things because I don't need that toxicity in my life. And I saw one quote that said if you keep dealing with negative people, that's what you will keep attracting. I'm on a different path and started to realize that a lot of it came from a place of jealousy, like hey I didn't go for my dreams so let me try to stop someone from going for theirs. The key is to be aware of negative entities and low energy people and not let them stop you. And there's nothing like running into these people with your successes to show them that what they did didn't stop you, it just elevated you. I'm really picky on who I let in my sanctuary nowadays and it helps that I have people on my same wavelength in my life.

[@bcaye]

Assertive is a much better description. Some people may be intimidated but that's their own insecurity.

[@WatchMeWakeU111111]

I have been told I am intimidating for years. While the attitudes described here are in line with those I hold now, it was not always so. I am 50 now, I have grown to embody many of the traits spoken of in this video. But, it is important to note that even those with a strong & intimidating personality have their own insecurities. I used to say, ‘I’m not as smart as I sound.’ I don’t anymore but the sentiment rings true. The gift of confidence & persuasion of others does not translate to unshakable self confidence. If anything, we are great debaters, influencers of opinion, outcome engineers. A powerful aura, a magnetism, wisdom & philosophy is a character trait. It doesn’t mean I have no need of validation. It doesn’t mean I have a self satisfaction others lack. I am just like everyone else, I want to belong.

[@arunakumari3357]

Sir/mam, so does this personality trait contributed for your success? It'll be great to have an advice of such an observative and experienced person!

[@Jeedehem]

I feel like I am certainly intimidating for some, but I’m not delivering on half of the aspects mentioned in there…. Seriously, having watched that video a few years ago could have very well helped me being a better boss, especially in ways of setting my boundaries… and preventing myself from drowning in depression (for context : GM of a non profit at the height of the pandemic). Sometimes, life has a way to balance itself. With the help of my longtime partner (and mother of my child), I am now starting my very own micro-business… where I am, alternatively, the best or the worst boss to the detail oriented, anxious and last minute version of the worker that I am! It is a convoluted way to say that I’m reaching happiness.

[@charlyme7925]

It can sometimes feel you’re isolated.

[@helenlcoleman6145]

Usually intimidating brings on anger which is a turn off for communication. You know what I mean . If you are intelligent the least , you don't turn on words to cause anger. Sometimes it's better to say nothing and just listen.

[@tommaraladson2021]

My Goodness, you have described me perfectly, as I possess every trait. Very sensitive people cannot handle my honesty, and the Narcs try to conquer me, but end up fleeing. Most people are drawn to me, some in clingy ways so I have to set boundaries. I am bombarded with request for advice and to help or join groups because I am very dependable, and I have to keep my word. I have several siblings and they all depend on me or ask me for advice--I have 7 older siblings.

I have almost all these traits but I fail because I am constantly bombarded with the problems of other people, which really gets me down and stressed. I dont ever put my problems onto others and no-one who complains about theirs to me would listen if I did. The problems they have, they don't want to hear the solution because its not what they want.

[@Smartkraut]

I recognize several of these traits in me; I know I am smart and don't dumb down for others but again I do not disresect others. A retired college professor once asked me what I taught in college and how many degrees I had. I asked her how many she thought I had and she said probably four. I stuned her by saying I didn't have any. But one thing I have always possesed is fearlessness. If I am right and know it I don't back down. Like others here, I m have been told that I am intimidating.

[@Badtothebonez]

More adaptable, more caring, more loving, and there's no friction in life. Intimidating is not good for communication, it's better to have a more functional, working communication, than being rigid in one's intimidating behaviour, no matter how right you feel you are. Balance caring with boundaries, they are equally important. The less rigid your personality, the more powerful your presence. 😊

[@ranggaajibaskara1809]

Adaptable until the limit you can't or doesn't want to adapt anymore. Maintain boundaries, don't necessarily succumb to aimless social pressure

Not many people can respect people who are intimidating but it all depends on where you live. I got all the traits and people usually start with disliking me then not to many of them stick around. Also, some people do stick around and learn from me just to someday not see them anymore. They say or tell others to tell me my opinions are to strong or I’m to honest but to be real I don’t care to cater to people like that. I’ve been around the Country in 18 different states and seems like southern people or Republican states have no problems with who I am. So I guess it can matter where you live to be accepted of who you are and valued.✌️

[@sashaconrad3939]

I don’t think any of these traits would intimidate anyone. I feel uncomfortable around people who are the opposite of these strong traits. Dishonesty, arrogance and broken promises are, in my opinion, much more intimidating and unsettling than an honest, confident person who keeps their promises.

I hope that person would be able to let me know. Intimidation has never been my goal! I opt to be a confidence builder to all. Sadly, I have encountered some who have weak personalities who think less of themselves and their potentials than I do of them. Because of this I believe I have a strong non intimidating personality.

[@matthewhurt2608]

I didn’t see anyone in that video that looked like they would be intimidating. I check all the boxes a couple for a bit different reasons. I don’t give a shit if a make any new friends. The ones I have to include the people I work with tend to compare me to the crazy guy for the show “A Team”. 21 years in the Army can do that I guess. I just live free of stress. I don’t care what people think and any mistake I make won’t matter in the grand scheme of life so why get wrapped around the axle about it. I’m not sure if anyone has listened to my advice or if they were just surprised that I’m still alive. I don’t have a bucket list but I do have a lot of scars. If I gave any advice to your people. Be the kind of person that makes you happy. Trying to be someone you’re not will never make you happy and it will be exhausting. Don’t label yourself just be yourself
