I can look intimidating when I want to, it's more a matter of confidence and how you posture yourself.

It startles me when I realize that someone is frighted or intimidated by me, but unfortunately this happens very often. I do come across as rather intense so I try to look lighter or happier than I feel. I often feel foolish because I think I overdue the light/happy facade but people prefer it and I don't think they often realize it is just an act. The things I do to try to fit in, it's downright silly sometimes, but it works better than acting myself.

I had a nice table to myself on the way down to London only for some man with a laptop to sit opposite.
I glared and glared and pouted and huffed and finally got up, grabbed my case and moved somewhere else.
Ack at anyone sitting that close facing me, especially a stranger.


Did you remember to spread your belongings all over the table, turn the mp3 to full volume and spill your drink over the vacant seats?

Putting your feet up on the vacant chair, closing your eyes, listening to music and pretending to be asleep keeps people away pretty well.

Then you're just "any other jerk". Gotta work to be intimidating. :lol:
