Brainy Dose Presents: 15 Signs You Have A Strong Intimidating Personality A strong personality is something that many
people are intimidated by. While some people may assume that such a label
is just a polite way of saying that a person is loud, obnoxious, domineering or an ass,
there is actually a big difference between these and a more general strength of character. Someone with a strong personality radiates
with the self-confidence we’re all bound to have, and they aren’t afraid to show
their assets in the most appropriate way. Here are 15 signs you have a strong personality
that may intimidate others! Number 1 - You Are Opinionated And Convincing,
But Not Arrogant You know your own mind, and you aren’t easily
swayed by others. You enjoy discussing matters of significance
with people, and you’re competent in debating your case. Despite this, you are also very happy to listen
to the point of view of others, and you don’t belittle them or come across as arrogant in
any way. While you often sway people to your way of
thinking - with your coherent and well thought through arguments - you aren’t in any way
disappointed if you can’t convince someone. You are respectful to those who think and
feel differently than you. Number 2 - You Are Decisive You evaluate options carefully, but you don’t
get bogged down so much that you suffer from paralysis by analysis. You trust your mind and you trust your instinct
to make the correct decisions, and find it frustrating when others waste time deliberating. To you, the wisdom is in being bold and taking
action, rather than waiting for life or someone else to make the choice for you. Number 3 - You Are Led By Reason More Than
Emotion Your strong personality comes as a result
of being thoughtful and well-informed. You may use your instinct to guide you, but
you do so thanks to a very rational approach to solving problems. You let your emotions have a say in how things
get done, but most of the power is in the hands of the logical, information-based part
of your brain. Instead of rushing into irrational decisions,
you like to gauge the effect your actions will have on you and the world around you. This is not a quality that many people can
relate to, and you will be the first to notice. You simply can’t stand people who are ignorant
in a world so full of information, and you have a hard time tolerating those who choose
to be insensitive and inconsiderate - when they should be careful and rational. Number 4 - You Are Careful About Who You Let
Into Your Life Being aware of how inconsistent people can
be these days, you are very careful of who you let into your life. Your core philosophy on friendship is: better
to stay alone and true, than be surrounded by fake people. As a strong person, you do not rely on other
people to tell you who you are, what you are, or what you can do. Even if you don’t yet know exactly who you
are, you know that you don’t need anyone to tell you what you’re capable of. You can figure that out on your own. That’s why you have a select number of people
you call friends, and you’re happy with them. When it comes to friendship, you aren’t
so concerned about quantity - quality means everything to you. Number 5 - You Stick To Your Morals You know what you stand for, and you are passionately
determined in the way you act on your beliefs. Nobody can convince you to do something that
doesn’t feel right! Your morals determine what actions you ‘do
and do not’ find acceptable from others. You are not afraid to tell someone when they
step out of line. Number 6 - You Do Not Crave Attention Having a strong personality means that you
feel little need for attention. Most people get the impression that you thrive
on it, but this is not the case. In fact, you don’t understand why people
are so eager to be liked by others - it’s like they’re willing to go to any length,
just to get attention. While your personality may be intimidating,
you find that people are drawn to you, because you genuinely seeks what’s best for others. The amount of socializing you engage in is
not necessarily driven by you, but rather by those who are influenced by your strong
character. Number 7 - You Are Not Overly Concerned With
Pleasing Others Rather than trying to please everyone, you
aren’t afraid to be your true self – even if it means ruffling a few feathers. You are confidant and you believe in yourself,
and you don’t ever feel the need to go out of your way to please or impress others. You treat those around you with respect, but
at no point would you pander to their ego in order to get ahead - you want to succeed
while showing your true colors and being yourself. Number 8 - You Are Very Goal Oriented Since you have your sights set firmly on particular
successes in life, you like to set short-term goals to move you along. You maintain a clear vision, and you don’t
waver or believe it’s unrealistic - no matter what obstacles cross your path. You know which steps you need to take, and
you focus on achieving these smaller, smarter goals in order to reach your desired destination. Number 9 - You Don’t Put Up With Excuses You never allow yourself to get by with excuses,
and you utterly hate when someone tries to replace effort with excuses. You simply don’t have the patience to listen
to people whine about how they can’t manage their time properly – when all they do is
place the blame on external factors. You would rather focus on what you CAN do,
and how you can overcome obstacles. There may be a lot of reasons why you can’t
do something, but there are always reasons why you can. You know well that if you set your mind on
something, there’s no obstacle big enough that can stop you. Number 10 - You Don’t Dwell On The Past What’s gone is gone - and you know that
it doesn’t make sense to spend too much time thinking about it. You are much more interested in what’s happening
right now, and how it’s going to impact your future! Your future goals are what drive you in the
present, and you prefer focusing your energy on the now, rather than on the past. Number 11 - You Actually Learn From Your Mistakes Even though you don’t like to dwell on what’s
already happened, that’s not to say that you don’t learn lessons from it. You are very capable of identifying where
things went off course and adapting your actions to prevent it from happening again. You find it difficult to understand people
who go around in circles, repeating the same unwanted behaviors over and over, while expecting
a different result. Number 12 - You Stick to Your Word People with a strong character are considered
trustworthy by others. You are someone people can count on, because
you actually stick to your word, and you do what you say you will do. This often intimidates and makes others look
bad - because let’s face it, more often than not, people slack off in certain areas
of their life. Number 13 - You Don’t Need Anybody’s Approval Sometimes, just for the sake of receiving
some approval, people do things that don’t sync with their personality. Others relentlessly try to reveal as much
as they can about their lives to get approval. But you are different - you will do what you
want to do, and you won’t expect any kind of approval! Your strength in making decisions and following
through comes from your motivation to achieve the goals you have set - not because of what
others will think. Number 14 - You Are Not Big On Self Pity You are well aware that things don’t always
go how you want them to go. You don’t however, linger on such things
and pity yourself because of them. Instead, you use these situations as opportunities
to grow and learn, so that you can move forward instead of getting bogged down in negativity. The words “why me?” or “I’m so unlucky”
are unlikely to pass your lips, and you cringe when you hear others complaining about their
life circumstances. Number 15 - You’re Fearless You know how to manage your emotions. Having the ability to cope with your fears
and use them to your advantage makes you fearless. You know that the odds are just odds, and
they can never become bigger than you, and you are ready to march in and face whatever
is trying to hold you back! The sense of fear only increases your awareness
and makes you more cautious, and you use your abilities to overcome the obstacle that is
trying to prevent you from growing. When people encounter someone with a strong
personality, they usually don’t understand the kind of person they are dealing with. If you happen to possess these traits, some
people may even think that you are difficult to be around! But that’s because they don’t understand
how you can be so comfortable with yourself, that you don’t need anyone else to validate
you. You only come across as intimidating, because
you actually challenge others to be the best version of themselves! What do you think? Have you ever been told that you have a strong
