LedRock:
Guy I doff my hat for you, you have said it all.

Thank you boss

Where is my very own SystemSpecs kitchen unit staff? Pocohantas usually has a lot to say

Do you have an intimidating personality baby? Simple answer okwaya, don't comman rant for me

An intimidating personality is as natural as it comes, it is not trying hard and does not use binary language.

pocohantas:
Coming from someone who doesn’t even know anything on the pandemic, I didn’t expect different.

Anslem04, come o.

It's only in your pure water factory that an MD will be doing shift for two weeks. Not in any structured organisation in Nigeria

Mariangeles:
Swear you're not intimidated by his vocabulary prowess
Swear it!

He makes you reach out for that dictionary every time and you hate him for it

I swear it,by the old gods and the new. All I see is someone trying very hard to be Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon

pocohantas:
Lol. I don’t know who is smarter between you and Anslem04. You people have a hard time grasping figurative words. The correlation is, he thinks daily happenings are as straightforward as 1 + 1 (Mathematics), so he will dance around them with so much words (English).

This absolutely makes no sense,but you're allowed to think you're a genius

Mariangeles:
It is not his fault that you or anyone else are never able to understand his words.
I don't think it's intentional on his part. It is just who he is.

No one talks like that in real life. You can try to be coy with your replies as much as you can, fact is fact.

Poverty mentality from upbringing will never let some females understand the truth behind this thread

For those who are interested. Please be honest with your answers.

Thanks

And Mariangeles, being intimidating and being a gentleman are not mutually exclusive.

Mariangeles:
For the record, Lord.Ko is neither intimidating nor does he form to be.
He's the most perfect gentleman on nairaland!

I doubt you even understand everything he types.

Communication has to exist at its simplest & basic form for it to be considered effective communication. Using unnecessary combination of words and sentences is the perfect example of one who is trying to be intimidating.

Mindlog:
After going through the DISC personality tests, PTS and Johari Window assessments throughout my undergraduate studies, I can confidently tell you that my personality is not dwelt within "intimidating personality or not".

Just as sounds/noise can be intimidating, so can silence.

If indeed you're intimidated by silence in general, it is more likely that you have some fear of rejection. This is natural. Moreover, silence is disconcerting because it does not confirm your position. So it feels like you're being rejected without the certainty of a firm rejection.

Excerpt

Question of the day:

If there were no names included, would the post be getting these same reactions?

Mindlog:
You alone believe it is a lie.

In your mind you have done a social experiment!

By Dr. Cardell's assesment, yes. I only brought it to Nairaland.

Mindlog:
Nah, I need no recognition on either side as I am who I am irrespective of your perception.

So on the subject of who you are and knowing yourself, do you have an intimidating personality or not?

Mindlog:
Mind games?

One of the patients climbed the roof of one of the buildings and sat there singing a reggae tune, told him to get down and join others at the lawn and he said he wanted to get such reaction from me!

My responsibility is to let him know he has no business seated on that roof.

You and I know this is a big lie,but okay.

1. Purpose of the Topic
To learn about what constitutes an intimidating personality

2. Purpose of the list
To see how many people will take it personal


Educated conclusion
None of the respondents focused on (1), an article culled from Dr. Jenev Cardell's The Powerful Mind. She is a psychologist.

Nairalanders who believe they have strong personalities and should be recognized for it include:

LordKO
Amanee
Plead
Capslocked
Ariza
Mindlog

Mindlog:
You captured my thoughts.

The OP made sure to sell himself as an "intimidating personality" and those he feels uncomfortable with as wannabes.

He doesn't surprise me as many of my patients in the psychiatric hospital where I work often display delusion of grandeur.

Including my name was deliberate to get the exact reaction most of you have provided. As a staff of a psychiatric hospital, one would think you have mastered how to detect mind games and not be a victim of it.

pocohantas:
Lol. That dude isn’t even bitter to me, just one of those bookworms that think life is Mathematics. So, they keep disturbing people with big English.

What is the connection between Mathematics and big English?

Amanee:
Asslicking on a different level

How is it be asslicking when there are posters you like on either side?

Arsenate:
Fix that for you.

Seen

My social experiment is working

paltielx:
Free some space in the phone, it wil be ok

Thanks but there's space in my internal memory, I don't think that is it. The problem started immediately I updated to Android 10.

ThothHermes:
You want to cause problem abi?

Is there any problem to be caused?
There are positives and negatives to having an intimidating personality as the article explains. Why should anyone who has attained self-realization be upset?

Like I said, it is from my observation.

Not having an intimidating personality is not a bad thing, it simply means you have a normal personality. I don't understand why some people are menstruating.

Please add or edit as appropriate.

Have you ever suspected that other Nairalanders, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and even close family members are blindsided by the sheer strength of your personality?
If you are the kind of person who knows their own mind and doesn’t believe in following the herd, other people might find you somewhat intimidating!

Do any of these signs sound familiar? If so, you probably earn the respect of others but you will also get on the bad side of an equal number of people.

These are the signs to look out for:

1. You Read Other People Quickly

Your intuitive abilities are strong, and you form accurate impressions of people within seconds of meeting them. Dishonest, ignorant, and bigoted people can’t hide their true nature from you and this makes them nervous.
You aren’t afraid to call out bad behavior when you see it, and are quite capable of putting obnoxious individuals in their place.

2. You Get Straight To The Point

Have you often been told that you are “too blunt”, "too insensitive", or even “too honest”? If so, your personality might be intimidating to those around you!
Whilst most people like to ease into a conversation with small talk, this isn’t your preferred approach.
You’d much rather focus on big, important, or even abstract issues rather than what you had for lunch, the latest celebrity gossip, or your next-door neighbor’s vacation plans.

3. You Often Find Yourself In The Minority

You don’t conform just to meet the expectations of others, and you don’t go along with their requests if they don’t sit with your values. Because you pride yourself on being an independent thinker, it’s likely that you are alone in your opinions from time to time.
People with low self-confidence find you intimidating because they can’t understand what it’s like to validate yourself instead of looking to others for approval. You’ll also be unsurprised to learn that unintelligent people also find it uncomfortable to be around you, because they soon realize that your IQ far exceeds their own.

4. You Don’t Make or Accept Excuses

You don’t whine about your circumstances and you don’t see yourself as a victim, even if everything is collapsing around you. There is no place in your life for people who moan and complain.
Although you can be tender-hearted and kind, your willpower can make you appear resilient and tough, which can be intimidating. It’s not that you lack sympathy for those going through a hard time, just that you have no patience for people who would rather wallow in their own misery than take action.

5. You Find It Hard To Tolerate Stupid People

Your open-minded attitude and capacity for critical thinking means that stupid or ignorant people really get on your nerves. Perhaps you sometimes catch yourself thinking, “Why don’t they just read a book once in a while?” or “There’s no excuse for being that ignorant!”
Although you are quite capable of being polite and patient, you find it hard showing this because you have no desire to pander to the feelings of those who can’t understand high-level logic and concepts.

Is an intimidating personality a blessing or a curse?

Sometimes, you might scare away potential friends and partners just by being yourself. On the other hand, those brave enough to stick around and get to know you will come to appreciate your intelligence, honesty, and unique perspective on the world.
Because you are willing to meet lots of new people there’s a good chance that you will find your tribe sooner or later, there are always people who are capable of keeping up with your incredible mind.

Embrace your intimidating personality!

Like seriously, who doesn't have junk in their trunk after 2 or more decades of living on this earth? Who hasn't reformed or rehabilitated themselves from time to time?

You're right,even whores have been known to turn saints & marry right. Mary Magdalene was a friend of Jesus

The watchers on the wall have found their voices. Rebranding specialist of SystemSpecs int. is a defeated girl.

My update is no longer there too. Who knows what Nokia is up to. Let me hear to their community chat

They want to fix some bugs. One bug I noticed after updating mine is that during charging, the phone takes a longer time to open up after I put my password.
