Intelligent, successful, attractive people can be intimidating. They force us to hold a mirror to ourselves; we can be disappointed, jealous or inspired toward personal growth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.
People might think I'm a bit more intimidating than I am.
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.
We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.
Confident people have a way of carrying themselves that makes others more attracted to them.
My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well.
What a person feels within themselves and about themselves radiates from them. Trust me, I have worked with people - both men and women - who are not what most would consider conventionally attractive, but who exude such a magnetism about them that people are compelled to watch them on stage or screen.
There is a long list of psychology research demonstrating that appearances matter more than most us would care to admit. As shallow as it may be, better-looking people have been shown in various studies to have higher self-esteem and more charisma, are considered more trustworthy and are better negotiators.
I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I'm a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.
I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
