Because that might be the best example I can think of for someone who would never do it intentionally
He actually seems like the least intimidating person! I think he is very kind and supportive
Clearly he’s never verbally abused you based on your hygiene

Haha well butt stuff and deodorant are important. Just saying3 -

Knowing she found me intimidating seems a little shocking but I'm glad she decided to add me anyway and now I get to stalk her from upclose instead from afar
As for my big bro @kinetixtrainer2 He never intimidated me. I always knew he was a delicate flower
Hahaha. I’m gentle.0 -
I don't post/engage often enough to get "in" here. And honestly half of that is just that I am intimidated by the speed of new comments coming in and the fact that everyone seems to have personal jokes that I just don't get. I kind of just...meh...gave up. I come check out the threads here on work days when I have not much on my plate.
^^ Probably the closest to how I feel. It's not intimidation per se, just a sense of feeling somewhat left out. And not because I feel unwelcome, because I've certainly seen efforts to recognize new people posting, just that a lot of you have interacted with one another for so long that you have a natural camaraderie of which newcomers aren't a part.1 -
Sometimes the actual username intimidates me.0

You know who intimidates me? The unofficial Queen of the New Products thread. I so badly want to ask her opinion on McDonald's new frozen cold brew, but what if she finds my tastes deplorable? Could I handle that embarrassment and continue lurking in there? I just don't know.

Sorry physical confrontation is easier to deal with that social rejection
This is an opinion and not fact. Times have changed a lot over the years that may make what you say true for many.....but believe me my friend, intimidation from where I grew up was physically and mentally excruciating. Social rejection comes in many forms, and cyber intimidation is something i never had to deal with but do see it so i wont discount it. But having the big kids jack you up to sell drugs for them because you are to young to do time is pretty traumatic physical intimidation. That and other things like that happen to kids and even some adults to this day in neighborhoods where I work with the kids. It's never just one way when it comes to what's worse when it comes to these type of things.
For sure, I didn’t mean to state it as a fact, and I understand everyone’s situation is different and i work hard to understand the stories of everyone I meet because of this.
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses based on what has happened in their life(except you, I know you have no weaknesses Mr. Stark)
Honestly i’m not gonna fight someone unless they are threatening my kids. Outside of that it’s words for me, if they resort to violence I guess that’s their choice.3 -
@JustKeepTryin used to intimidate me. We had a certain situation in the beginning and I was afraid to joke with her. She deleted me once and I had to beg her back. Literally explained my life story because she thought I was a drama freak. Lol! Good times. Now we are like this close, like two peas in a pod. We even met in person and it was amazingly fun!4

I'm seriously trying to think of a situation where I was intimated by someone. People are just people. There are those that make me want to step up my own game, but rarely do I ever feel intimidated.2

I agree with all of this.
As for no weaknesses, even though I know it was a sarcastic remark, I'll answer that this way.......I have a great many, but the strength to face them head on every single day overrides them. I rarely allow them to dictate any aspect of my life, but on the few times they occasionally do.....the pain is excruciating.2 -

Did you have a bit of melted ice cream on your chin when you posted a selfie?
It all stems from a video I posted long ago.. I may have admitted I wasn’t wearing deodorant. And that I hadn’t showered. And next thing you know, I’m a ‘person with bad hygiene’ :grumble:0 -

Soooo.....is a person that hasn't showered and has not put on deodorant an example of, good hygiene? 0 -

This is a great trait of yours. I'm actually extremely shy in person.... at first. But it's all over once i warm up.... but that's only in social situations. Everytime I change offices I come in like I've been there for years2 -

I agree with this. It is mostly my issue.
I’m intimidated too by the hyper sensitivity shown by some. Inside I just roll my eyes... outside I try to get along.
Wow, i cant believe you just said that.

@leut_underpants intimidated me with his harsh and direct sense of humor.
Same with 2 more but I can't remember their usernames to tag them. Cee? Danny something?
Basically really funny, witty, direct and sometimes harsh people.
I've always had an appreciation and fear of people like that. It's healthy, I checked.
@cee134 and @denny_mac
One time I laughed so hard at Cee that I injured myself in a lawn chair. He gave me the giggles like no one else. Except @MeeseeksAndDestroy
