How to Handle Intimidating People

Have you ever met someone who intimidates you? Makes you feel small or like you're not good enough?
Intimidation has a way of stunting you, both professionally and in terms of personal growth.
If you feel intimidated by someone — whether it’s a coworker, your mother-in-law, or a friend-of-a-friend — understand that your fear gives them power over you and allows them to dictate your thoughts, emotions, and actions.

For example, maybe you change your behavior in subtle ways to please them, such as ordering a meal you wouldn’t normally order at a restaurant or avoiding discussing certain topics. Or it may be more significant, such as letting their criticism get under your skin and seriously harm your wellbeing.

The good news is, it's not something you have to suffer by default. You can put an end to it starting today, and you don't need to sacrifice your pride or decorum to do it with THESE 7 steps.

I definitely feel intimidated by people who are higher than me in status in terms of the corporate world and thus have more power than me. I know I should challenge the stories I tell myself but sometimes those stories are rooted in facts!!

[KevinChee]

I find the most powerful form of intimidation is knowledge, someone who is so confident because of their past experiences or things they learned. I feel intimidated by them but at the same time, I respect them.

[PatriciaAbijah]

So true, sometimes those we feel intimidated by don’t even know they intimidate us. We internalize our weaknesses 👌

I love step 3 preparing yourself. During my 20s while doing a sales job it is always tough handling demanding client. Just need to tell myself I know my work and I have more knowledge than them.

[TheOldMayfieldPlace]

Such great advice, Trish! I think my favorite is to practice saying 'no'.

I have to admit, my anxiety makes me intimidated by people, especially someone who I might have a crush on, but I guess that is quite natural

Love all the 7 steps my dear. They are all very valid and it's so important for us to have the awareness of why we are being intimidated by others. Others are the reflection of what's going on inside of us, as you said, once we identify the root cause, we won't be easily get intimidated. Very good points you have shared. Thank you and look forward to more of your videos. Sending you love and light💛😀
