Based on your answers, it’s unlikely that you are an intimidating person, which is good news. Sometimes the way we behave or the way we say things can push people away from us. It’s important to be aware of traits that might intimidate others. If needed, people should try to make some changes in their behavior in order to maintain good relationships with friends and family. It’s important to always try to convey your thoughts in a truthful, but respectful way. For example: if you need to give someone bad news, try to be straightforward and honest, but also try to show support.

Based on your answers, you are displaying one or two signs of an intimidating person. Try to understand how people will feel after you tell them something with brutal honesty. Some people can handle the truth, but others can get really hurt by your words. This can damage relationships. Therefore, it’s important to always try to convey your thoughts in a truthful, but respectful manner. If you find yourself in a situation where your and someone else’s view differ, try to not offend anyone. Instead, choose arguments in support of your opinion that could be relatable to these people and imagine what it’s like to be in their shoes.

Unfortunately, you are displaying signs typically seen among individuals who are intimidating to others. Try to imagine what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes. Instead of criticizing people for letting out their emotions, try to show support. If you have to criticize someone’s work, show that you care about doing the work well, and instead of getting mad give advice about how they could improve. Besides, even if small talk makes you uncomfortable, don’t skip it and just keep it short. It can be still worth it to make time for some friendly chat so that further conversations can flow smoothly.
