If people don't find what you are doing threatening, then it is probably not very important.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't make a threat and then not do it.
When you have real power you don't threaten. People know what your capabilities are.
The personal threat is something that's always been a part of our lives.
Empty threats are often worse than saying nothing at all. It's like leading from behind. Eventually, no one thinks you're leading at all. And after a while, no one is even listening.
Most people who make threats don't follow through. The most dangerous people are often those who never make threats. But 'most' and 'often' aren't what you are looking for when you're dealing with a scary person. You want to 'know.' And there is no knowing.
Years ago a friend and fellow writer, Nick Antosca, once made a remark about it being best not to threaten, but to simply act. An effective way of going about things, I think.
I have been threatened occasionally. But that happens to everybody who is writing this kind of things. Threats will come without fail. It might happen to the most 'innocent' texts. If it gets too much we call the police.
I think it's really important to find out why people hurt you or try to oppose you or whatever.
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
When people feel threatened by you, they find something that is belittling.
