Anybody who says they don’t get intimidated is lying. They may be lying because they’re intimidated.

I’ve denied intimidation. It’s always easier to decide that we don’t like somebody or don’t want to be around them if they make us uncomfortable.

What if I lean into intimidation?

What if I make a point to spend more time around the people that intimidate me?

Intimidation is real. There’s something there, something that needs work.

When I lose my confidence and get intimidated, that’s ok. That means I’m up against something challenging. That means I haven’t made peace or bested something within me yet. There is room to grow.

I’m noticing the people who intimidate me and I’m seeking them out, coming back for more. They have a lot to teach me.
