I am hyper aware of my surroundings. I sort out people, settings and rooms as I make my way into them because I want to feel prepared for anything. No one really intimidates me though. I mean whats the worst someone is going to do to you? Hit you? Kill you? Clown you? I can handle all those scenerios and come out the victor if I have to.
my friend is the same he calls people on their B.S. and keeps people in check but he is hard to deal with sometimes

My problem is no one, that is my problem, i won't allow any one to, some have tried, and back down. I am confident most of the time, and hold my self up to high standards. Some friends have told me they do not want to get on my bad side.

#1. It's the only time I get intimidated, well not really intimidated but more like very cautious and slightly paranoid.

Though i can admit that there was a time when some could..or did..I learned alot about myself through some of the things i have gone through, Fears i have challenged and overcome..and through some of my passions..

I have faced many things..and stumbled through the dark, alone, and stood in the face of a force hotter than the surface of the sun..to find that i could face anything or anyone...Even if i have to look down...I will always stand tall for what i believe...and break for no one..

About the only thing which might put a nervous smile on my face..The day i propose..

What for you?
No one really intimidates me. Your boss generally gets away with more than he should because you love your job and need the money! When he crosses the line (and he has before) I let him know and he cowers down and runs away from the situation? Yeah, Mr. Tough! Nice guys get mad just like anyone else!

angry aggressive authority figures in the wrong, or most any kind of angry morally outraged people that are in a rage erroneously. . dim and aggressive is a bad combination. i have developed a real disdain for the ones that are dead wrong.
