L James I think you hit the nail on the head. If you are high performance because you dont waste time on a lot of trivialities you are liable to suffer conspiracy, a lack of cooperation, sabotage, and spotlighting of any minute failing, sort of revenge at your being good, an attempt to cut you down to size to diminish their own lack of competence. There was a song in the 80's by Adam Ant that that speaks of both feet, describes the situation well.
ikr? i have an aunt who is a shrewd businesswoman and really loves her money. she posed as our friend and family in helping us in acquiring a new home (since her business is buy-and-sell of real estate) because being my mom's sister, my parents trusted in her. right after my mom died and just a day that we were going to move in our new home, she stopped us and claimed it was her property. being a law student that i was, of course i didn't buy that bullshit. because she can't contend with me and my legal arguments, she succumbed to emotions and started playing victim that i was foul mouthed and rude towards an elder and spread slanderous remarks about me in my mother's side of the family. I don't think i'm "that" intelligent as portrayed here. but one thing's sure, i know the legal arguments against this as well as certain friends involved in bad activities. i think i am intelligent to a point where she just disappears and nobody's gonna ask why anymore, since days in court gives her a fair chance and she didn't give us a fair chance of dealing with my mother's death and decided to take our property, our home, away from us by being manipulative and obviously arguing outside of the law. but meh.. maybe i'm intelligent to let it go instead to not face trouble? one thing is for sure.. she'll have her day.
@David Christ i really intend to tie her up to a chair and make her talk though and throw her away without her credit cards in places far away from the city. i think it's enough that i know she is evil as fuck. thanks too for the suggestion of being more educated.
I pretend to care when they have talked to me. I pretend by going "Yeah" or "Okay". While laughing at them in my head. Their bullshit is always humorous. I never talk about me to those kind of people, so I don't give them sources they thrive on. I only show them, that I don't trust them. Haha
People with Strong personality can’t stand liars,busybody,excuses,gossiping and complainers.Yet we need to have friendship with people but sometimes it’s hard to find the right people.
Liars I can't stand. It is rare I call someone that though. The rest of em I just tolerate, and if it goes on to long I just leave and get on with my own life.
This was one of my best lessons and changes I did for myself , it takes a lot of discipline and thought to do it . Being comfortable with yourself by yourself takes time
@@niiwei1373 ofcrs, they're my family and they know me better than anyone, they knew i also have a soft/kind side depends on the situation. Some of my relatives have strong personality too so yeah.
People with strong personalities are often misjudged and misunderstood. They're not antisocial or standoffish, they just don't invest in drama or fake people, nor do they tolerate bull_hit!!
One of the biggest disadvantage to having a strong personality is that you end up being the backbone for everyone else when they face difficulties. People always expect you to have the right advice at all times.
well, from my experience i can relate, that you can tell them to wait until you figure out a solution. I can also relate the fact that I have a highly advandced analitical thinking. and most of the times i give them good advices. but when not sure i warn them that i can't guarantee good resaults.
Right, then we also end up with weak men. I notice all my ex's have one thing in common. They all basically grew up without their mothers for a big part of their lives. Smh
It's a double edged sword. Saying that ppl are "jealous" makes you look like an ass. NOBODY wants to admit that they covet you. Maybe being in this situation just be kind? I've noticed sometimes trying to communicate things ppl simply DONT want to hear it.
This is an excellent pep talk for those of us with these character traits to keep being ourselves. I was taught before you engage in something to arm yourself with as much information as you can, continue to learn because none of us will ever know it all , do the best job you could and to leave things in better condition than when you found them and to set a good example because we never know who might be drawing inspiration from us. It’s amazing how threatened others feel when you don’t seek approval, can make decisions on your own, when you don’t accept authority blindly, can back up your choices with facts and examples and have joy and peace in your life.
I have a strong personality and I've been told I like to argue. It's not that I like arguing per se, but I don't avoid it either. To me it's simply a way of analyzing an issue and sussing out the facts. But some people see this as conflict rather than looking at a problem from all angles.
I don't believe people with strong personality aren't humble. Arrogant people are not strong..without diving into all the psychology, i just don't believe that u can be a stubborn Arrogant man have a strong personality
I don’t like small talks, in fact I hate it. I also don’t like being around people all the damn time. I am completely content being alone. I don’t follow the crowd and I am a bit weird. It’s ok to be a lone wolf. And it’s ok if some people don’t like you, they don’t even like themselves! 😂
@Francis Earl: Bro, I want to thank you immensely for all of that. It's not as if, you need my approval; I value, appreciate, and agree with the majority of what you said. With the exception of: You being #Annoyed someone is #thoughtful and #considerate. That part is yo business and I will leave that entirely alone. You are who you are.
I have been dealing with people telling me or showing their dislike of me because I am this strong, intimidating person. I can see and sense the irritation and jealousy and after some time, it does get to you. I am currently in grief over a loss and this video is really helpful and reassuring. There is nothing wrong with me, I am just an awesome and amazing person with a solid foundation and knowledge of who I am and what I want.
right! You've said it in a nutshell! Only something that manipulators will find a problem with. As real down to earth individuals will see said sane and balanced persons behavior for what it is. It's interesting how problematic individuals stay putting spins on things that they want to go their way. They eventually reap all that they've sown tho. Whether or not you sit back and wait for it............You're better off living your life in the wholesome and adjusted way that you are, as there's nothing exciting or interesting about being front and center to watch others reap from whatever fuckery they've sown.
Oh yes they do. They dream and fantasize about your downfall and are giddy when you stumble or struggle. That is a tough thing to come to terms with but true nonetheless.
I’ve never tried to intimidate people, but I intimidate everyone. Every boss I’ve ever had was intimidated by me, when all I wanted was to do a good job and help others.
Because they are narcissistic. I worked for a company for 10 years where my boss was constantly threatened. Put more work on me to get me to submit. He would say, " If you make me look good, I'll make you look good If you don't make me look good, I will guarantee that you won't look good. " Typical of a boss that is intimidated by your attributes.
My boss literally envies me. He even hates the fact that I can throw a ball of Paper into the 🗑 from across the room. I have a bad habit of doing it all the time 🙃 And I’ve caught him looking to see if I will score .... I hardly ever miss. He always has a disappointed and slightly annoyed look on his face when it actually goes in and smiles on the rare occasion that I miss. He lies to me constantly about simple things (eg. if he forgets or is wrong about something ) as though I can fire him. WTF?
you can have a strong personality, but you must also be respectful to others. My late Gram, had a strong personality, but she did not understand the word no when it was said to her. She had no friends, she always used guilt on her family when she wanted to be with them.
I have all of them! One thing I'd like to outline here, people think we are harsh because we say it how it is. We are not malicious in any way probably just get frustrated others don't know what they want or try to get it. They are all talk, we are all action👍🏼
This is the snowflake generation. What do you expect? Money for nothing and your checks for free??? Why not? We deserve it, no? Just be incredibly entitled and agree/brunch with the boss.
Actually traits and behaviors really aren't needs. When someone stands in a light (as in really is a certain way vs they're just ***behaving and pretending to come across in a certain light) these aren't traits that they picked up from where ever. More than likely this is who they are (whether or not they're in a position or you're experiencing whatever part of their character.
I don't think I'm particularly intimidating, but I know people are at times hesitant to approach me because I am actually quite introverted and like to enjoy my space. Great video as always
Another sign of a strong personality: You don't have to prove that you're right. Just state the facts and people can get upset or angry over the difference of opinion or disagreement if they wish. If they accuse you of being mean, then they are extremely insecure and nothing more than an overgrown child trapped in an adult body.
I wondered why I have so much envy from other women - they first start to envy, then being mean… all I want is good, - reasonable, beauty, fairness. Now I understand. And more - why I have only few friends, all with strong personalities themselves, not easy characters but honest. We are not pleasers.
Narcissist hate these type of personalities, because they wish they could be them. You are definitely discarded by a Narcissist or they will try to devalue you, if you fit this personality.
True I am at peace but I'm never content with myself not because of others validation but for my own self goals for myself for instance me working out even tho I'm already built and pretty fit I'm still not satisfied and want to be better that applies to everything else in my life as well.
Hit at least 12 of the 15:) Life is fun when you get older and wish someone had broken this down when I was a teen. I'm 100% onboard for our youth and their struggles. There are elders who are HERE to help/ Reach out! Speak out to family/friends, get out in the real world, engage social services (online/in-person).
My mum has a strong personality and is intimidating and I know she has enemies bc of this. But I'm just proud of her. She went against all odds and criticisms from her surroundings for a better life and is a wonderful woman.😆😁😊 Edit: wow~ I never thought my comment would get so much likes and comments. Thank you😁😁😊
I am a strong person and have most of these traits. People are not intimidated by me because I am a warm and kind person. I don't think of myself as better than anyone. However, I have seen people become jealous of me because of my positive self esteem and several have tried to break me. They become frustrated when their attempts fail. I personally don't understand why people want to tear others down to feel better. I believe in investing in oneself to become the best person you can be and find joy in helping others to do the same. God bless! ❤️
Because some knows you're very capable, they are worried they might miss out opportunities. That's those people's inner issues though. Sadly, not everyone has a well rounded cognitive development.
I ran houses for the elderly. A nurse who came to the house said I was intimidating because I ran a tight ship and did everything right. I tried to. That was my goal. I was raised on "do it right or don't do it at all".
I was raised the same way and raising my kids the same as well! People misinterpret high standards, which should be the only standard, not doing things half-a$$.

A Strong Personality In my case is one who is independent in thought, finds solutions to problems, not afraid to leave their comfort zone, and strategically decisive. All this and still having a humble heart.
I learn infinitely more from correct applications - from victories; and everyone should learn in that manner. Mistakes only tell you what not to do - not necessarily what to do.
I have been told that I am intimidating, but my close friends know that I am really easy going and would help them any way I could. I never gave much thought to the actual reasons, but this list resonates with how I generally think. Thanks for the explanation.
It's very important to remember if you are a strong minded, "intimidating" person there will be many MANY people who will try to bring you down. They will try to make you feel like you are wrong for not being the weak minded cookie-cutter photocopy they are when in reality they are boiling with envy. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.
@@forrestkimball6477 People often hate what they can't be. You may also notice they try to say you have it easy or are spoiled if you are in a good spot in life. They don't realize you are there because you have worked hard and avoided problems that they were too short sighted to think about. Envy is an emotion of the selfish and stupid.
Sadly, I’ve met a ton of old people who lack critical thinking skills and several of these signs are really just critical thinking, having the ability to withhold judgement while you adequately evaluate facts... or properly recognizing the difference between one’s mind’s hypotheses and patches of conflicting evidence (cos lets face it, there’s often big gaps in what we can know for fact)
Exactly. This video should be titled "How to become matured". I have 11 of 15 of these signs and I can see my insecurities slowly go away. A few months ago i would have had 0 of these signs.
@@Sigma3095 Amen to that, I used to have less signs because of my damaged childhood, but I had such a strong willpower, and never had the actual desire to truly fit in if that would mean compromising who I was.. But being like that, it being my true nature; resulted in, the rebel I was, going against the mainstream, looking for my identity, growth and healing being my goal and now there are only details, but mainly each point applies to me.. Mostly completely, sometimes like I mentioned there are the details.. I just came across this video today, and may I say I didn't realize to the full extend why I was so intimidating to the wrong people.. They literally envied me or/and wanted me out of their way.. They tried and sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, never fully understood why. My favorite is expression was; what is it?! Are they jealous about MY LIFE?! Really?! Few years ago I understood they were jealous of how I dealt with my life or how I had traits they desired.. I had intuition there must be something going on.. And being so considerate of others, I never truly understood why I was intimidating.. Until one day I understood it was probably because I had some things or traits they desired, like; not caring what others think, or because I loved being alone, to fill up my energy battery.. Because I had strong intuition or was able to solve problems or was creative at solutions to ease life or simply enjoy life, my positivity or intelligence, or even my energy.. I did challenge them to do better, and I sensed a wide range of respons to that.. In different people, often even in the same person.. But now thanks to this video I understand it even better, this was the missing link to boost my confidence.. I am proud to be the lone wolf who is a critical thinker, who, now even stronger, doesn't care what others think, unless they think I did something hurtful to them, that I want to solve and heal them and work on myself to avoid it in the future, that's still the exeption.. But other than that hooray to the ones who want to become better, not better than someone else, but better than they were yesterday.. To the right people we will be an inspiration to develop/grow (like they used to be for me when growing up, I loved them, never envied them), or more so, awaken these traits as well, to the wrong people we will always be a curse in their eyes.. Makes it easier to spot where we belong and what/who to avoid.. Goals are looking even more within reach now, then they ever did before..
Everything in this video is actually talking about me. Even though I try as much as possible to be invisible and not to draw attention, I'm still surprised at the number of people who know me. The major problem of having a strong personality is that some will feel intimidated by it and will tag you as an enemy without you knowing it.
I’ve always been told I was intimidating at work, school, even at home. I never knew why or how to tone it down. I decided not to change myself for the insecurity of others. If you’re like this don’t apologize for it. We make great leaders.
I recognize all 15 of these personality traits in myself. I watched this video because I hear almost daily that I’m intimidating, and that’s not my agenda. The reasons on here weren’t what I was expecting to hear, but they all ring true. Respect is learned and earned and actions speak louder than words. I’m not easily fooled and I’m not going to pretend to be.
I feel you. I always get the phrase "you're quite intimidating and should work on yourself" when I get into discussions, but in reality I just got the better arguments.
Yes. Everyone gets my respect. The level of respect is determine by the person and I speak my mind. I have a saying, " If you are telling me something I can't safely repeat, then don't' I only want information that have meaning and can be shared to help another person.
I was never told I have a strong personality , I was always led to believe the opposite by others opinions and circumstances I encountered. But listening to this video made me realize I do. Because everything said I identified it in the way I do things.
Prisoner FN-24601 Personally I wouldn’t go as far as to say a good character is threatening or intimidating more perhaps provoke, irritate even confuse those with less virtuous characteristics. I still believe a strong intimidating personality without good character borders on arrogance, lack of self awareness, some get off on it as some of the remarks indicate.
Having a strong personality is driven by honesty, being empathetic and realizing often there is a better way of doing things . The reason for the later is because one cares for people and sees less grief as the better way .
I have 13/15 of the traits you mentioned. Which is why I find myself standing alone more often than usual and that's fine with me. I'd rather be alone than be around bunches of fakes and phonies who mean me no good.
Amen to that. I would not live in Holywood for all the tea in China mate. Thats why I like country Australia, because folk there are rea. What you see is what you get, and if you dont like it... Piss off they say hahahha.
@@TheWarHorse100 If you do indeed stick to that very wise motto... you will have the success you seek. Whatever success you have though.... always include your Creator God in that success, or else you can loose it as quickly as you gained it. Peace.
Moral integrity intimidates dishonourable people. This trait gives me so much inner peace, so I appreciate my high ethical standards. Whether someone does or doesn't appreciate this - reveals a lot about that person. Perfect barometer!
I believe that if one lacks moral integrity then they also lack the ability to be compassionate, considerate & selfless. My elderly mother fell victim to a morally foul individual who took everything that my mother worked her entire life for. EVERYTHING! The last thing that's this foul person took from my mother, which was the only thing that Ma had left, was her life😥I think that this foul person truly believes that quantity gets you everything. Re.,respect, admiration, social status, etc.....It's too bad that she 'just doesn't get it'. Quantity IS NOT quality! Moral integrity is a MUST HAVE & it looks so well on people! Those who have absolutely no conception of this quality are the ones that hurt children, abuse the elderly, have relations outside of a commitment & on & on & on.....I wish that I could change these type of peoples but I can't. I can't have my Ma back either😳
Because of my confidence and decisiveness, many people feel they can say hurtful things to me and don't consider that I'm also sensitive and empathetic.
magenta44 Exactly. Have you ever experienced those times when "the rules only apply to them" but not you? For example, you are labeled a very opinionated person with low tolerance for rudeness yet you're frown upon (within certain circles) but if they do the same thing they're excused as having the right of being free to express themselves and learn from their mistakes? (Yet, you're expected to know better and be better?) They can disrespect you but if you feel hurt you're just being too sensitive? And if you say half the things they said you are the one who crossed the line? I've been told that it's not what I say, it's how I say it. (I'm well spoken and educated; wanted to be a writer. I say what I mean and mean what I say) But, I've been told I sound to proper, and that I shouldn't show how much I can do because it seems intimidating even if I do smile? Yet, Why can't people show grace and empathy instead of demanding it? I find it interesting when Self-Acceptance is such a huge thing now but tolerance and mutual respect tends to be bargained away. It's sad really.
Uh, I think those that say hurtful things (without having a valid reason to do so) really are just saying things with the intent to hurt you. I mean the reality of experiencing these types really is obvious. As they're either consciously keeping the company of those that want to and will continue to continuously hurt them or they're broken and do not know how to exist without hurting others that are not like them or have not allowed what they have allowed to happen to them.
I've been told many times that I can be intimidating when it comes to my personality. It's been said to me that I'm definitely "in charge of my own thoughts! " However, people don't necessarily like being intimidated, or rather "challenged," as you so aptly put it in this video. I believe life is a learning curve that should move along a gradient that's upward & forward in it's movement. Your content is absolutely brilliant! I'm getting so much valuable Intel from it, as well! Thanks for that!
Society doesn't want to hear truth. It scares them. But i have learned that no matter how much harder i try to impress my employer, it doesn't matter, no one cares. So now that i am older, i have found my voice instead, cause you cannot please everyone and not everyone is going to like you, no matter what. Be happy for yourself and confident. That is all you have to suceed with dignity.
I identify with this message, strongly. yes, and strong personality does not mean loud necessarily. Also, I reckon it's the reason I have lived alone for so long.
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol..........as they constantly have to beg and wine for it. Reminds of all the groupies in high school that wanted to be down and would do and say the most in order to be seen and heard. eh
@@therewasoldcringe idk i just dont care about the extroverts and only care about myself and my small group of people i can trust except if i see someone nice.Doesnt have to be the same as me, extroverts can be human and have a kind soul, they aint always leeches but im definitely cautious around them.
I believe I may only intimidate those coming from a space of fear. Instead of seeing my light as a reflection of themselves, they see it as a threat. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
So very true. Most people don't process their fear correctly, they react. Instead of the understanding that you've pointed out, they are unable or unwilling to look at themselves and they perceive it as a personal threat
It's sad to because those people say they are protecting themselves or to keep surviving. No it's because deep down they don't want to understand and are to lazy to think. That's the problem with people these days
If you can identify the consequences before they happen, you’re in business. People lack that ability and hence they’re not conscientious of their actions.
A very timely video for me to see today! I have often be called intimidating. However, as I see it, you can't intimidate people; they are intimidated by you. I demonstrate all of these qualities although I could work on letting go of the past more, because sometimes I am frustrated by being judged and abused by people in the past. A great quote I once read really helped: "To overcome others requires force; to overcome yourself, requires strength". And this strength of character is threatening to others. It is hard to be authentic and live up to high standards and do your best. A lot of people either can't be bothered, are lazy or don't know how. I don't believe that it's about being the better than others, but about being the best you can be. People are threatened by those who are balanced, centred and at peace with themselves because it sets off their own inner struggles. But if we all just work on these inner struggles we can all become the best version of ourselves.
This is definitely me! I am so kind and caring that I was shocked when someone called me intimidating. I am also often the target for others who are jealous I never understood why someone would be jealous of me. This video explains a lot! Thank you!
My dad always told me people were envious and intimidated by me and I always ever tried to genuinely caring and kind to everyone I've ever met, until they showed their true colors....then I just let them be.
HALLELUJAH 🙌 People always told me I am a Strong person and I never ever felt like I was whom they described me as till one day it hit me so dam hard that Honestly and Truthfully my strength, confidence and boldness has always been there because I know without a shadow of Doubt that God has my back big time... I can Doubt myself, life and everything but I can never Doubt God I can loose everything like job did but Jesus is LORD my experience and him don't have a link he is he the same yesterday, today and forever and my experiences just never remains the same that for me is enough to let things happen and hold on to go with a joyful heart
I have all 15 signs of a strong intimidating personality. I started my job in a bottom position at a company. I got job promotions 3 times/3 years because of my speed of working fast as 3 people combined. It took 1/4 time to train me compare to the time to train other employees. I am still growing within the company where I am working for. I never stop.
At first glance, people think that I'm arrogant or even stuck up, but when they get to know who I am and what I'm about they feel at ease and comfortable around me. But it's just the fact that I don't need attention nor approval from anyone, that I'm a person who really sticks to my word and that I don't take shit from anyone. If they don't like me, fine, and if they do then welcome to my world...
Yep, people think I'm stuck up too - for things like washing my hands! Most of the time now I just laugh to myself about it, but it was hard to navigate when I was young.
Peace comes with acceptance. To want someone is passion, to need them is suicide. How many times do people sit into the early hours pining for someone who didn't give a shit. Trust noone, need noone, and learn to smile, it defuses the nasty types.
This is exactly my co worker Recently struggling to be me copying each and every f**kn thing I do Unfortunately she happens to be my roomate too ...gossiping like hell....she can't stand who I am ...the cold ignore actions I give her is of a different level I ignore I am quiet on her after knowing how immature and ignorant she is she..its working for me she tries to interrupt any conversation I get with any one but I give her a cold reply thats silence and its my weapon to her stupidity
Great information here!, I am learning the 'fine line' between having a righteous strong personality versus being a confident inner knowing, and caring. No explaining, drama, rescue others, nor attention seeking...just having a strong sense of self and moral compass to follow right from wrong. It's call being a grown up and taking responsibilities for all that comes in or stay out of my life.
For the most part they wont say you have a strong personality if you are basically a quiet person. They tend to label you "difficult" due to not being able to manipulate or control you. They just disconnect if anything. They secretly resent the person you are and is jealous of your strength.
I was told I was difficult to deal with when in reality I’m laid back but I demand respect and don’t like manipulative ppl trying to control me. When I speak up , then IM DIFFICULT . Lol
Emma Aviles , for your sake, I hope it is just high school, for me I really think those traits have gone even into my later years. There’s no simple way to put how I am or how my life is turned out it’s just complicated so I do hope for you a better future. I bless you with friends who are in the same vibration that have your highest good in mind body and spirit and that you do have an incredible life filled with people who love you. ✨🕊🔥✨
I am often told that I make other people look bad because of my hard work and determination. People often assume I have things handed to me. I just wish those people would put the same effort into accomplishing what they want that they do into begrudging others of what they earned. I am genuinely happy for everyone. I think the trait that I resonated with most is not making excuses and being fearless.
Absolutely true! Thank you! I prefer being alone rather than with people that seem to have fun...groupgatherings that look fun on the outside by afar...but when coming closer the truth is the fun is just an ilusion.. I prefer inviting people I feel stimulated with by doing things that are healthy fun where I am present and consciously aware..I let go of people that do not treat me fare. I love discussions but never impose my views. I do not like gossiping about myself nor others. I upplift without any intent to make friends. I am friendly with all but to hecome my friends must be earned by authenticity. I do not promise anything to anyone ever..
Some people love you, others hate you but as long as you stay humble and you're not an egomaniac, you should feel confident in your own skin, because YES, some people can be VERY VERY ENVIOUS.
These are actually traits of a very mature person, immature people are the only ones that won't ever understand how important these qualities are. And immature people are the only ones who would write a negative comment on this video.
Okay I'm taking that bait. I truly mature person wouldn't look outside of themselves to see 15 traits of strong people. If you already possess those traits then you have them if you do not you do not what is the point in worrying about whether you possess a strong personality or not? Maturity is not necessarily strength nor is immaturity weakness. And if you were truly strong and all people are as all people are weak. It is a mindset. An acceptance of Who You Are. And not necessarily acceptance of who you will always remain. all of these are positive comments in this and I just want to run my mouth because I wanted to be a vote and the other. I wanted to put on the breaks and give a reality check to all these people patting themselves on the back. True strength comes from within. Someone who controls an army. Is not as strong someone who can control them self.
I really enjoyed this because I am an introvert. And in the past was abused by people who were said, by others in authority, to have strong personalities. SO I equated strong personality with abuse and loudness. However, after watching this I can separate strength from abuse and see that actually, those abusive people who hurt me were actually operating from weakness rather than strength. I also see that I do have a strong personality, and thanks to this video, I am proud of that. I realize that I have a quiet, gentle strength... a power within. And your video also helped me to notice areas to watch out for to give compassion to people and myself when I am frustrated by their areas of 'lack.'... So... Thanks a bunch!
Before uniting myself to a new life with Christ, my strong personality traits tended to gear towards trying to please others (which I still struggle with at times, especially in relationships), but now that strength is firmly rooted and founded in my identity with Jesus and doing all I can to cooperate with His saving grace as a disciple whether people like it or not. Now the people I intimidate the most, make uncomfortable due to their perceived inadequacy, are many of my so-called Christian brothers and sisters who don't really want to live for Christ and others instead of themselves. That has also gotten me into trouble multiple times with the clergy and the elders who don't think the Lord's Word applies to them like it does for us all. In Christ, Andrew

If you are high performance because you dont waste time on a lot of trivialities you are liable to suffer conspiracy, a lack of cooperation, sabotage, and spotlighting of any minute failing, sort of revenge at your being good, an attempt to cut you down to size to diminish their own lack of competence. There was a song in the 80's by Adam Ant that that speaks of both feet, describes the situation well.
Agreed...
ikr? i have an aunt who is a shrewd businesswoman and really loves her money. she posed as our friend and family in helping us in acquiring a new home (since her business is buy-and-sell of real estate) because being my mom's sister, my parents trusted in her. right after my mom died and just a day that we were going to move in our new home, she stopped us and claimed it was her property. being a law student that i was, of course i didn't buy that bullshit. because she can't contend with me and my legal arguments, she succumbed to emotions and started playing victim that i was foul mouthed and rude towards an elder and spread slanderous remarks about me in my mother's side of the family.
I don't think i'm "that" intelligent as portrayed here. but one thing's sure, i know the legal arguments against this as well as certain friends involved in bad activities. i think i am intelligent to a point where she just disappears and nobody's gonna ask why anymore, since days in court gives her a fair chance and she didn't give us a fair chance of dealing with my mother's death and decided to take our property, our home, away from us by being manipulative and obviously arguing outside of the law. but meh.. maybe i'm intelligent to let it go instead to not face trouble? one thing is for sure.. she'll have her day.
@David Christ i really intend to tie her up to a chair and make her talk though and throw her away without her credit cards in places far away from the city. i think it's enough that i know she is evil as fuck. thanks too for the suggestion of being more educated.
I pretend to care when they have talked to me. I pretend by going "Yeah" or "Okay". While laughing at them in my head. Their bullshit is always humorous. I never talk about me to those kind of people, so I don't give them sources they thrive on. I only show them, that I don't trust them. Haha
People with Strong personality can’t stand liars,busybody,excuses,gossiping and complainers.Yet we need to have friendship with people but sometimes it’s hard to find the right people.
You got that right!
Mannn…….
Agree well sAid
You “said” a mouthful, honey! 🙌🏽
Liars I can't stand. It is rare I call someone that though. The rest of em I just tolerate, and if it goes on to long I just leave and get on with my own life.
Quality of friends is better than quantity of friends!
Always!
That's true :)
What about your family? Does she accept you with your strong personality? :) I'm just curious ^.^
This was one of my best lessons and changes I did for myself , it takes a lot of discipline and thought to do it . Being comfortable with yourself by yourself takes time
@@niiwei1373 ofcrs, they're my family and they know me better than anyone, they knew i also have a soft/kind side depends on the situation. Some of my relatives have strong personality too so yeah.
Yea that’s even harder to find...smdh
People with strong personalities are often misjudged and misunderstood. They're not antisocial or standoffish, they just don't invest in drama or fake people, nor do they tolerate bull_hit!!
Yeah n all my fam blocked me. Stand as a figther nothing to lose 💪
You're exactly right.
Yes! I don't have the energy for that.

well said
One of the biggest disadvantage to having a strong personality is that you end up being the backbone for everyone else when they face difficulties. People always expect you to have the right advice at all times.
I mos def understand you on this
well, from my experience i can relate, that you can tell them to wait until you figure out a solution. I can also relate the fact that I have a highly advandced analitical thinking. and most of the times i give them good advices. but when not sure i warn them that i can't guarantee good resaults.
Soffy true
Right, then we also end up with weak men. I notice all my ex's have one thing in common. They all basically grew up without their mothers for a big part of their lives. Smh
That's because most probably you are an empath and ppl tend to feed on that trait.

It's a double edged sword. Saying that ppl are "jealous" makes you look like an ass. NOBODY wants to admit that they covet you. Maybe being in this situation just be kind?

You have a point. I want to see the extent to which I intimidate ppl
🤣🤣
This is an excellent pep talk for those of us with these character traits to keep being ourselves.
I was taught before you engage in something to arm yourself with as much information as you can, continue to learn because none of us will ever know it all , do the best job you could and to leave things in better condition than when you found them and to set a good example because we never know who might be drawing inspiration from us.
It’s amazing how threatened others feel when you don’t seek approval, can make decisions on your own, when you don’t accept authority blindly, can back up your choices with facts and examples and have joy and peace in your life.

Ever notice how intimidated people get and how quickly they shun you when you refuse to participate in gossip?
They get highly offended
Yes smh
Gossip is just pure empty, idle and shitty talk. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yep, so me. Gossip is stupid and shows how insecure that person is who gossips the most.
Yup. Its crazy how some People (many) really dont have anything else to talk about. Ive always found it boring and also a little bit uncomfortable.
I have a strong personality and I've been told I like to argue. It's not that I like arguing per se, but I don't avoid it either. To me it's simply a way of analyzing an issue and sussing out the facts. But some people see this as conflict rather than looking at a problem from all angles.
You can have a strong personality but be sure to be humble and considerate to others.
Sure!
I don't believe people with strong personality aren't humble. Arrogant people are not strong..without diving into all the psychology, i just don't believe that u can be a stubborn Arrogant man have a strong personality

Yes. So true. My father tried to teach me that at an early age. RIP However, it didn't sink in until much later.
People with strong personalities are never seen as humble .They are humble but that humility is invisible to people around you
I don’t like small talks, in fact I hate it. I also don’t like being around people all the damn time. I am completely content being alone. I don’t follow the crowd and I am a bit weird. It’s ok to be a lone wolf. And it’s ok if some people don’t like you, they don’t even like themselves! 😂

I have been dealing with people telling me or showing their dislike of me because I am this strong, intimidating person. I can see and sense the irritation and jealousy and after some time, it does get to you. I am currently in grief over a loss and this video is really helpful and reassuring. There is nothing wrong with me, I am just an awesome and amazing person with a solid foundation and knowledge of who I am and what I want.
This video should be called “how to be an adult”
Lol I get what you mean but this video also shows how childish grown adults act 😂🤣
Exactly
How to mature.
True. Totally
yes and no. not every adult has a code that they stick by
Sooo basically ur intimidating when you cant be easily manipulated
right! You've said it in a nutshell! Only something that manipulators will find a problem with. As real down to earth individuals will see said sane and balanced persons behavior for what it is. It's interesting how problematic individuals stay putting spins on things that they want to go their way. They eventually reap all that they've sown tho. Whether or not you sit back and wait for it............You're better off living your life in the wholesome and adjusted way that you are, as there's nothing exciting or interesting about being front and center to watch others reap from whatever fuckery they've sown.

It is sad that people love seeing someone with a strong personality go through bad things and they get jealous when good things happen for them.
Oh yes they do. They dream and fantasize about your downfall and are giddy when you stumble or struggle. That is a tough thing to come to terms with but true nonetheless.
I’ve never tried to intimidate people, but I intimidate everyone. Every boss I’ve ever had was intimidated by me, when all I wanted was to do a good job and help others.
Same. I take that as a sign that it may be time for me to be the boss.
Because they are narcissistic. I worked for a company for 10 years where my boss was constantly threatened. Put more work on me to get me to submit. He would say, " If you make me look good, I'll make you look good If you don't make me look good, I will guarantee that you won't look good. " Typical of a boss that is intimidated by your attributes.
My boss literally envies me. He even hates the fact that I can throw a ball of Paper into the 🗑 from across the room. I have a bad habit of doing it all the time 🙃 And I’ve caught him looking to see if I will score .... I hardly ever miss. He always has a disappointed and slightly annoyed look on his face when it actually goes in and smiles on the rare occasion that I miss. He lies to me constantly about simple things (eg. if he forgets or is wrong about something ) as though I can fire him. WTF?
All my bosses saw me like that in a way :/

People with strong personalities have few friends because they are more often misinterpreted.🙂
Exactly!
you can have a strong personality, but you must also be respectful to others. My late Gram, had a strong personality, but she did not understand the word no when it was said to her. She had no friends, she always used guilt on her family when she wanted to be with them.
Facts.
How can it not be used against them
The point is,they don’t care
I have all of them! One thing I'd like to outline here, people think we are harsh because we say it how it is. We are not malicious in any way probably just get frustrated others don't know what they want or try to get it. They are all talk, we are all action👍🏼
I feel weird when surrounded by fake people

It's sad that in today's society characteristics that show leadership and confidence is now thought of as intimidating. More people need these traits.
Peter von Feldt I am truly blessed that i am used to those people who know how to run well with leadership.
Not everyone is SUPPOSED to be a leader. Everyone holds a role
This is the snowflake generation. What do you expect? Money for nothing and your checks for free??? Why not? We deserve it, no? Just be incredibly entitled and agree/brunch with the boss.
Actually traits and behaviors really aren't needs. When someone stands in a light (as in really is a certain way vs they're just ***behaving and pretending to come across in a certain light) these aren't traits that they picked up from where ever. More than likely this is who they are (whether or not they're in a position or you're experiencing whatever part of their character.
The word needs more Alfa males " & empathy "
I don't think I'm particularly intimidating, but I know people are at times hesitant to approach me because I am actually quite introverted and like to enjoy my space. Great video as always
We are thesame. You have said it all.
Atleast we make a team😀😀😀
Same here and i like it that way.
Happy Facts,....yah, same here...
"Happy Facts Lifestyle.👍🏿😗🙂😎👍🏿."
Another sign of a strong personality: You don't have to prove that you're right. Just state the facts and people can get upset or angry over the difference of opinion or disagreement if they wish. If they accuse you of being mean, then they are extremely insecure and nothing more than an overgrown child trapped in an adult body.
It’s like in youre in my head man 😂
I wondered why I have so much envy from other women - they first start to envy, then being mean… all I want is good, - reasonable, beauty, fairness. Now I understand. And more - why I have only few friends, all with strong personalities themselves, not easy characters but honest. We are not pleasers.
Narcissist hate these type of personalities, because they wish they could be them. You are definitely discarded by a Narcissist or they will try to devalue you, if you fit this personality.
That has happened to me. I figured out she is a narcissist, though.

True I am at peace but I'm never content with myself not because of others validation but for my own self goals for myself for instance me working out even tho I'm already built and pretty fit I'm still not satisfied and want to be better that applies to everything else in my life as well.
The fun part is that the person with a strong personality don't care about looking so stong in the eyes of other people
That's me
Yes! It just comes naturally like breathing.

I am a strong person and have most of these traits. People are not intimidated by me because I am a warm and kind person. I don't think of myself as better than anyone. However, I have seen people become jealous of me because of my positive self esteem and several have tried to break me. They become frustrated when their attempts fail. I personally don't understand why people want to tear others down to feel better. I believe in investing in oneself to become the best person you can be and find joy in helping others to do the same.

It's very important to remember if you are a strong minded, "intimidating" person there will be many MANY people who will try to bring you down. They will try to make you feel like you are wrong for not being the weak minded cookie-cutter photocopy they are when in reality they are boiling with envy. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

@@forrestkimball6477 People often hate what they can't be. You may also notice they try to say you have it easy or are spoiled if you are in a good spot in life. They don't realize you are there because you have worked hard and avoided problems that they were too short sighted to think about.
Envy is an emotion of the selfish and stupid.
I know this for sure. Ever since I became very physically attractive I see people look at me like they either jealous or they want to get to know me.
As long as you have integrity you should not be bothered by others
This are just signs of maturity. Those who are immature are the ones who will be insecure and intimidated

This has got to be the best comment I've seen in ages😂😂😂😭😭😭 I love you sir
Immaturity doesnt discriminate w/ age
Sadly, I’ve met a ton of old people who lack critical thinking skills and several of these signs are really just critical thinking, having the ability to withhold judgement while you adequately evaluate facts... or properly recognizing the difference between one’s mind’s hypotheses and patches of conflicting evidence (cos lets face it, there’s often big gaps in what we can know for fact)
Exactly. This video should be titled "How to become matured". I have 11 of 15 of these signs and I can see my insecurities slowly go away.
A few months ago i would have had 0 of these signs.
@@Sigma3095 Amen to that, I used to have less signs because of my damaged childhood, but I had such a strong willpower, and never had the actual desire to truly fit in if that would mean compromising who I was.. But being like that, it being my true nature; resulted in, the rebel I was, going against the mainstream, looking for my identity, growth and healing being my goal and now there are only details, but mainly each point applies to me.. Mostly completely, sometimes like I mentioned there are the details.. I just came across this video today, and may I say I didn't realize to the full extend why I was so intimidating to the wrong people.. They literally envied me or/and wanted me out of their way.. They tried and sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, never fully understood why. My favorite is expression was; what is it?! Are they jealous about MY LIFE?! Really?! Few years ago I understood they were jealous of how I dealt with my life or how I had traits they desired.. I had intuition there must be something going on.. And being so considerate of others, I never truly understood why I was intimidating.. Until one day I understood it was probably because I had some things or traits they desired, like; not caring what others think, or because I loved being alone, to fill up my energy battery.. Because I had strong intuition or was able to solve problems or was creative at solutions to ease life or simply enjoy life, my positivity or intelligence, or even my energy.. I did challenge them to do better, and I sensed a wide range of respons to that.. In different people, often even in the same person.. But now thanks to this video I understand it even better, this was the missing link to boost my confidence.. I am proud to be the lone wolf who is a critical thinker, who, now even stronger, doesn't care what others think, unless they think I did something hurtful to them, that I want to solve and heal them and work on myself to avoid it in the future, that's still the exeption.. But other than that hooray to the ones who want to become better, not better than someone else, but better than they were yesterday.. To the right people we will be an inspiration to develop/grow (like they used to be for me when growing up, I loved them, never envied them), or more so, awaken these traits as well, to the wrong people we will always be a curse in their eyes.. Makes it easier to spot where we belong and what/who to avoid.. Goals are looking even more within reach now, then they ever did before..

Even though I try as much as possible to be invisible and not to draw attention, I'm still surprised at the number of people who know me.
The major problem of having a strong personality is that some will feel intimidated by it and will tag you as an enemy without you knowing it.
Although I like being alone.. I do like having people who love me around .
Right, it just seems so many ppl lack self esteem & are very intimidated or insecure & then they start projecting negative energy all day everyday 😩
Love it!
I like having someone who loves me. Anyway I lived by myself for a long time so I learned how to be alone.
Yup
It's a matter of quality vs quantity. I'd much rather prefer to have a few good people than a dozen bad ones
I’ve always been told I was intimidating at work, school, even at home. I never knew why or how to tone it down. I decided not to change myself for the insecurity of others. If you’re like this don’t apologize for it. We make great leaders.

I recognize all 15 of these personality traits in myself. I watched this video because I hear almost daily that I’m intimidating, and that’s not my agenda. The reasons on here weren’t what I was expecting to hear, but they all ring true. Respect is learned and earned and actions speak louder than words. I’m not easily fooled and I’m not going to pretend to be.
I feel you. I always get the phrase "you're quite intimidating and should work on yourself" when I get into discussions, but in reality I just got the better arguments.
Same here 😊
I'm a virgo and the description above is 100% consistent. I often had problems with men, they couldn't handle it.
how many strong people have you been around ?
Yes. Everyone gets my respect. The level of respect is determine by the person and I speak my mind. I have a saying, " If you are telling me something I can't safely repeat, then don't' I only want information that have meaning and can be shared to help another person.
Being Genuine and treating others kind are traits that stand out and that will never go out of style.......Never.
I was never told I have a strong personality , I was always led to believe the opposite by others opinions and circumstances I encountered. But listening to this video made me realize I do. Because everything said I identified it in the way I do things.

Prisoner FN-24601 Personally I wouldn’t go as far as to say a good character is threatening or intimidating more perhaps provoke, irritate even confuse those with less virtuous characteristics. I still believe a strong intimidating personality without good character borders on arrogance, lack of self awareness, some get off on it as some of the remarks indicate.
Having a strong personality is driven by honesty, being empathetic and realizing often there is a better way of doing things . The reason for the later is because one cares for people and sees less grief as the better way .
I have 13/15 of the traits you mentioned. Which is why I find myself standing alone more often than usual and that's fine with me. I'd rather be alone than be around bunches of fakes and phonies who mean me no good.

The last thing that's this foul person took from my mother, which was the only thing that Ma had left, was her life😥I think that this foul person truly believes that quantity gets you everything. Re.,respect, admiration, social status, etc.....It's too bad that she 'just doesn't get it'. Quantity IS NOT quality! Moral integrity is a MUST HAVE & it looks so well on people! Those who have absolutely no conception of this quality are the ones that hurt children, abuse the elderly, have relations outside of a commitment & on & on & on.....I wish that I could change these type of peoples but I can't. I can't have my Ma back either😳
I totally agree 😊
This is why my best friend is

Thanks

Your best friend is Jesus Christ remember that my friend!
Also, having a strong personality is happy just being themselves.
I think you left out part of your sentence.
I need to stop listening to these videos because I’m beginning to think I’m awesome!!!!!
And you are awesome!

You are awesome.
Because of my confidence and decisiveness, many people feel they can say hurtful things to me and don't consider that I'm also sensitive and empathetic.
magenta44 Exactly. Have you ever experienced those times when "the rules only apply to them" but not you? For example, you are labeled a very opinionated person with low tolerance for rudeness yet you're frown upon (within certain circles) but if they do the same thing they're excused as having the right of being free to express themselves and learn from their mistakes? (Yet, you're expected to know better and be better?) They can disrespect you but if you feel hurt you're just being too sensitive? And if you say half the things they said you are the one who crossed the line? I've been told that it's not what I say, it's how I say it. (I'm well spoken and educated; wanted to be a writer. I say what I mean and mean what I say) But, I've been told I sound to proper, and that I shouldn't show how much I can do because it seems intimidating even if I do smile?
Yet, Why can't people show grace and empathy instead of demanding it? I find it interesting when Self-Acceptance is such a huge thing now but tolerance and mutual respect tends to be bargained away. It's sad really.
They use mean words to feel better about themselves. You don't need to eat that all up.
Uh, I think those that say hurtful things (without having a valid reason to do so) really are just saying things with the intent to hurt you. I mean the reality of experiencing these types really is obvious. As they're either consciously keeping the company of those that want to and will continue to continuously hurt them or they're broken and do not know how to exist without hurting others that are not like them or have not allowed what they have allowed to happen to them.
magenta44 Thx for the teaching .
@@beachblues2155 They sound like jealous people trying to dim your shine. Pay them no heed - they're toxic.
No lie. It is lonely. But I've learned to enjoy it.
I've learned to become my very own best friend.

Now it's not a a choice for me but a way of life....smh
When you start loving yourself more, people will start wanting you more
@@noaccount7595 lol what is this? this is just....weird
I've been told many times that I can be intimidating when it comes to my personality. It's been said to me that I'm definitely "in charge of my own thoughts! " However, people don't necessarily like being intimidated, or rather "challenged," as you so aptly put it in this video. I believe life is a learning curve that should move along a gradient that's upward & forward in it's movement. Your content is absolutely brilliant! I'm getting so much valuable Intel from it, as well! Thanks for that!

True
Also more prone to depression
Society doesn't want to hear truth. It scares them. But i have learned that no matter how much harder i try to impress my employer, it doesn't matter, no one cares. So now that i am older, i have found my voice instead, cause you cannot please everyone and not everyone is going to like you, no matter what. Be happy for yourself and confident. That is all you have to suceed with dignity.
I couldn't agree more! 👍
The truth scares those who live a lie. Darkness hates the light because the light is more powerful and makes it disappear. ;)
I agree!..
I just said this the other day.👍
This.........SPOT ON
This is what you call good mental health..more than a strong personality
^^^ this guy gets it, what u said is factual
I identify with this message, strongly. yes, and strong personality does not mean loud necessarily. Also, I reckon it's the reason I have lived alone for so long.
I actually feel sorry for those who thrive off the attention of others. Must be dizzying.
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol..........as they constantly have to beg and wine for it. Reminds of all the groupies in high school that wanted to be down and would do and say the most in order to be seen and heard. eh
Those are called, Extroverts. They are blood sucking leeches.
@@Tinyfurball hmmwell i prefer talking to ppl but maybe i look rude idk 😆 or maybe my face see s like i am just done with fake ppl BS
And painful!
@@therewasoldcringe idk i just dont care about the extroverts and only care about myself and my small group of people i can trust except if i see someone nice.Doesnt have to be the same as me, extroverts can be human and have a kind soul, they aint always leeches but im definitely cautious around them.
I believe I may only intimidate those coming from a space of fear. Instead of seeing my light as a reflection of themselves, they see it as a threat. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
So very true. Most people don't process their fear correctly, they react. Instead of the understanding that you've pointed out, they are unable or unwilling to look at themselves and they perceive it as a personal threat
Well said👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well stated!
It's sad to because those people say they are protecting themselves or to keep surviving. No it's because deep down they don't want to understand and are to lazy to think. That's the problem with people these days
You're an Aries. They're not that tough. Virgos can wipe the floor with an Aries.
I've always kept my word and felt horrible when I didn't. I dont know how anybody else doesn't!
Right?! True that!!! 🤨Smh....
They got a chip missing. Dont take that literally. That sounds creepy right about now
I couldn't have said it any better.
If you can identify the consequences before they happen, you’re in business. People lack that ability and hence they’re not conscientious of their actions.
It's why I don't ever make a "promise"... if something comes up and I can't keep it, I feel horrible! 😂
A very timely video for me to see today! I have often be called intimidating. However, as I see it, you can't intimidate people; they are intimidated by you. I demonstrate all of these qualities although I could work on letting go of the past more, because sometimes I am frustrated by being judged and abused by people in the past. A great quote I once read really helped: "To overcome others requires force; to overcome yourself, requires strength". And this strength of character is threatening to others. It is hard to be authentic and live up to high standards and do your best. A lot of people either can't be bothered, are lazy or don't know how. I don't believe that it's about being the better than others, but about being the best you can be. People are threatened by those who are balanced, centred and at peace with themselves because it sets off their own inner struggles. But if we all just work on these inner struggles we can all become the best version of ourselves.
This is definitely me! I am so kind and caring that I was shocked when someone called me intimidating. I am also often the target for others who are jealous I never understood why someone would be jealous of me. This video explains a lot! Thank you!
You must be so good that people get jealous, I try to be nice but some people have a problem with me cause I do most things well
agree
My dad always told me people were envious and intimidated by me and I always ever tried to genuinely caring and kind to everyone I've ever met, until they showed their true colors....then I just let them be.
#16 You have a distaste for social media.
Almost. I stay connect with my family and friends that I lost touch with by using social media.
This is as close as I get to social media...
Wrong. You recognize the benefits of social media, use them to your advantage but you're not a slave to them.
Maret Villa you are right
I deleted my Facebook Instagram and Twitter a year ago, only UA-cam. Life has been better.
People who have these qualities are smart and intelligent people.
Nah. Just because they have these signs doesn't mean they are smart/intelligent.

My mind is like how big of a mistake can it be if no one from the future is coming back to stop you...

Wow! I am a very confident person & my strength comes from God! Giving Him all the honor & glory! Thank you.
HALLELUJAH 🙌 People always told me I am a Strong person and I never ever felt like I was whom they described me as till one day it hit me so dam hard that Honestly and Truthfully my strength, confidence and boldness has always been there because I know without a shadow of Doubt that God has my back big time... I can Doubt myself, life and everything but I can never Doubt God I can loose everything like job did but Jesus is LORD my experience and him don't have a link he is he the same yesterday, today and forever and my experiences just never remains the same that for me is enough to let things happen and hold on to go with a joyful heart
Amen to that. "The Lord is my strength and my shield." I will trust Him even if the stars fall.
Amen! By the grace of God I am who I am.
Amen!
God bless you😇
I never followed anyone in life . It's good to be yourself and not be swayed . This fits me so much
I have all 15 signs of a strong intimidating personality. I started my job in a bottom position at a company. I got job promotions 3 times/3 years because of my speed of working fast as 3 people combined. It took 1/4 time to train me compare to the time to train other employees. I am still growing within the company where I am working for. I never stop.
Sounds like me, we work ourselves into a situation where we are nearly indispensable.
I actually love being perceived as strong cause people think twice before messing with me☺
Yes. Doll😍
yep.
Same here
JUNgSHOoKETH H exactly
JUNgSHOoKETH H...Damn right!
I recognise all of these, appart from one: "being decisive "🙂 I take time to decide something, but when I have decided, there is no turning back! 😊
At first glance, people think that I'm arrogant or even stuck up, but when they get to know who I am and what I'm about they feel at ease and comfortable around me. But it's just the fact that I don't need attention nor approval from anyone, that I'm a person who really sticks to my word and that I don't take shit from anyone. If they don't like me, fine, and if they do then welcome to my world...
Story of my Life

Amen
Yep, people think I'm stuck up too - for things like washing my hands! Most of the time now I just laugh to myself about it, but it was hard to navigate when I was young.
Agreed, same with me,lol
Although strong personalities don’t live for validation, it is really nice to get. THANK YOU 🙏🏻 😉
I like your name lol
Better to be alone and true! Select quality!♥️😇👀

Quality = honest & loyal " such a minority 👍
Peace comes with acceptance.
To want someone is passion, to need them is suicide.
How many times do people sit into the early hours pining for someone who didn't give a shit.
Trust noone, need noone, and learn to smile, it defuses the nasty types.
People judge you without getting to know and talk about you because they want to be you.
Is that really how it is?...then I guess alot of people want to be me? Hard to believe :( I'm always depressed .

💅✨💅✨💅✨Yesssa
Sadly...It appears that so many people are fake and toxic.
Great information here!, I am learning the 'fine line' between having a righteous strong personality versus being a confident inner knowing, and caring. No explaining, drama, rescue others, nor attention seeking...just having a strong sense of self and moral compass to follow right from wrong. It's call being a grown up and taking responsibilities for all that comes in or stay out of my life.
Of
Of
For the most part they wont say you have a strong personality if you are basically a quiet person. They tend to label you "difficult" due to not being able to manipulate or control you. They just disconnect if anything. They secretly resent the person you are and is jealous of your strength.
EXACTLY
Or they think introverts are dumb.😎😁😃😏so amusing when they find out different

I was told I was difficult to deal with when in reality I’m laid back but I demand respect and don’t like manipulative ppl trying to control me. When I speak up , then IM DIFFICULT . Lol

I have none either so don't worry
Same. I’m a senior, and I wonder if it’s just high school. Idk
Emma Aviles , for your sake, I hope it is just high school, for me I really think those traits have gone even into my later years. There’s no simple way to put how I am or how my life is turned out it’s just complicated so I do hope for you a better future. I bless you with friends who are in the same vibration that have your highest good in mind body and spirit and that you do have an incredible life filled with people who love you. ✨🕊🔥✨
I am the father lol i was gonna ask him/her too xD
I am often told that I make other people look bad because of my hard work and determination. People often assume I have things handed to me. I just wish those people would put the same effort into accomplishing what they want that they do into begrudging others of what they earned. I am genuinely happy for everyone. I think the trait that I resonated with most is not making excuses and being fearless.
The harder I work the luckier I get. Funny how that works..
People at work make fun of me by saying I’m our bosses favorite 🙄🙄🙄
I’m just an honest person with a strong work ethic and INTEGRITY
@@gertrudejude5474 really consider yourself lucky the harder I work the more I get shut down by people that can impact my life.
Absolutely true! Thank you! I prefer being alone rather than with people that seem to have fun...groupgatherings that look fun on the outside by afar...but when coming closer the truth is the fun is just an ilusion.. I prefer inviting people I feel stimulated with by doing things that are healthy fun where I am present and consciously aware..I let go of people that do not treat me fare. I love discussions but never impose my views. I do not like gossiping about myself nor others. I upplift without any intent to make friends. I am friendly with all but to hecome my friends must be earned by authenticity. I do not promise anything to anyone ever..
Some people love you, others hate you but as long as you stay humble and you're not an egomaniac, you should feel confident in your own skin, because YES, some people can be VERY VERY ENVIOUS.
humility and gratefulness are the keys ... I brag to everyone about how humble I am. ( joke)
These are actually traits of a very mature person, immature people are the only ones that won't ever understand how important these qualities are. And immature people are the only ones who would write a negative comment on this video.
Okay I'm taking that bait. I truly mature person wouldn't look outside of themselves to see 15 traits of strong people. If you already possess those traits then you have them if you do not you do not what is the point in worrying about whether you possess a strong personality or not? Maturity is not necessarily strength nor is immaturity weakness. And if you were truly strong and all people are as all people are weak. It is a mindset. An acceptance of Who You Are. And not necessarily acceptance of who you will always remain. all of these are positive comments in this and I just want to run my mouth because I wanted to be a vote and the other. I wanted to put on the breaks and give a reality check to all these people patting themselves on the back. True strength comes from within. Someone who controls an army. Is not as strong someone who can control them self.
Poisoning the well? Logical fallacy brother.
@@curseofsasuke
I think he was being sarcastic not infallible.
@Ann Therese Fondots why you fucking all them old ass men
Makes more sense than signs of being emotionally healthy.
I really enjoyed this because I am an introvert. And in the past was abused by people who were said, by others in authority, to have strong personalities. SO I equated strong personality with abuse and loudness. However, after watching this I can separate strength from abuse and see that actually, those abusive people who hurt me were actually operating from weakness rather than strength. I also see that I do have a strong personality, and thanks to this video, I am proud of that. I realize that I have a quiet, gentle strength... a power within. And your video also helped me to notice areas to watch out for to give compassion to people and myself when I am frustrated by their areas of 'lack.'... So... Thanks a bunch!
I think this is in the neighborhood of correct. I have been among the most abused and so I know abusers are code named as have been "intimidating"
Before uniting myself to a new life with Christ, my strong personality traits tended to gear towards trying to please others (which I still struggle with at times, especially in relationships), but now that strength is firmly rooted and founded in my identity with Jesus and doing all I can to cooperate with His saving grace as a disciple whether people like it or not.
Now the people I intimidate the most, make uncomfortable due to their perceived inadequacy, are many of my so-called Christian brothers and sisters who don't really want to live for Christ and others instead of themselves. That has also gotten me into trouble multiple times with the clergy and the elders who don't think the Lord's Word applies to them like it does for us all.
In Christ,
Andrew
I never realized I was intimidating ... I got the 15 signs, all of them !!! I think it happens once you know yourself. Thanks for that realization !
