Do People Fear You?

Post Reply New Topic

I was bullied terribly as a child because of my bizarre behaviors, but that changed significantly by the time I'd finished high school. I was recently told by some close friends that they were scared of me before they got to know me. I found that hysterically funny, since I'm a short, scrawny girl and they're from Rio de Janeiro! I'm told it's because of my loud monotone and my fixed, hard stare. Keeps people at a distance though, and sometimes that's a good thing, especially in my city. Sadly, sometimes being mistaken for a crackhead is a plus!

Fear and hatred are OK, I have been working on Terror. When I see someone on my list while out driving I follow them for a while, I keep my distance, they turn, so do I, they speed up, so do I. Some have run red lights and spead off at very high speed. Others do not dare and sitting three cars apart I can see them shake. When they panic they become totally focused on getting away.

These are the people who with three friends said they were going to pound my face into the sidewalk, and that I could do nothing about all of them. I said that is true, but one of you will be the Jesus that pays for everyone's sins. It was not the answer they were expecting, so they said I was crazy and left. They were willing to share in gang power, limited risk, put paying for all, that is more than they can deal with.

Knowing where they live and when they come home, I park a block away where they will see me. Several have left town. Nothing like being hunted to put some spice in life, just like thier gang hunted me.

I have a right side, and a wrong side, I am the best friend or enemy you will ever have. I take pride in my work.

We need to play sometime.

Soz, a bit offtopic:

Cheerlessleader, I enjoyed reading your myspace rant. It was very...how can one say...lively.

I hope not! As an example of how scary I am; I cry when I step on spiders accidentally….

I big friendly giant who doesn’t talk…nothing to be afraid of there.

People in school where scared of me enough where they didn't pick on me. My friends knew I'm a bit eccentric, but wouldn't really hurt anyone.and If I did, I would end up killing myself. Like in drama, my friend has a trick ankle, and I didn't know about it. We where doing a fight scene with her, and her ankle messed up. I freaked out and started crying.
Or another time, where a bunch of us was in the control booth (which overlooks the entire auditorium, and there are spotlights there.) one girl was hanging out the window from the control room to the auditorium, and I was looking around, and there was a handle of sorts. I touched it(Didn't even take the thing off!) and a steel door for the window came down on the girl. It messed her back up, and she had to have physical therapy. I was suicidal for weeks after that. :S

People do, but not from intimidation... mostly because they think I'm creepy, they think I must be a stalker or something because of the way I look at people, etc.

Yeah just the bit on the main page. About Emos vs Goths (And more). I never knew there was a rivalry between the groups but hey you learn something everyday. Shows how much I notice. It's the last thing in the world worth caring about and people tend to get themselves in a tizz over BS.

Keep fighting the good fight!

I don't think people really fear me (unless I threaten them if they come too close), but sometimes I catch funny looks they notice that I was - unintentionally - staring at them. Yeah, I suppose it's mainly the stare that creeps them out.

I have been told since I was young that I intimidate people. Quite ironic since I'm scared to death of all of them.

I don't think people fear me. I do think people think of me as "odd" - especially at work, where I'm surrounded by generic NTs with generic interests, who don't like any of the things I like (and like to talk about).

I think my decorating my desk with action figures, and my wearing of T-shirts that bear slogans like "I Look Forward To Killing You Soon" might contribute to this feeling, though

On occasion.

Sometimes when I don't even give them cause to. *evil grin*
