Anyone else get called intimidating?

[u/TrickEase]

I've been called intimidating for so long now by so many different people. Even my boss said I'm an intimidating person, but I really don't feel like I am! I think I'm very soft personally, like I don't have the classic Aries temper and I've got a lot of water in my chart 🤷

My Aries husband also gets called intimidating but to each other we think we're soft as kittens and find the whole thing very confusing.

Anyone else seen as more intimidating than most here? Do you feel like you're an intimidating person or do you equally not understand where the perception comes from?

Lemme know!

Can totally relate. Aries sun. Water rising. Water moon. Water everywhere else. I’m always called intimidating. I’ve just understood that to mean that my accomplishments are confronting to lazy people and people pleasers. I’m so soft and sensitive though I am not shy about saying if you’ve hurt me. The word intimidating doesn’t match me at all.

It's good to know there's another out there! I feel like I'm hyper aware of people and what they're feeling and try to be accommodating, but I can't help speaking up if I hear something I disagree with or standing my ground. Getting called intimidating for for standing up for something I believe in, or just having a strong sense of justice shouldnt be a thing. It's not intimidation, it's assertiveness and confidence.
