Being too serious and intimidating all the time can result in you having no friends. However, there are times when you need to be a little intimidating. If you need to be serious and intimidate someone, then you need to have "I don't care what other people think," good self-confidence, and adequate vocabulary ammunition to attack the other person. If you want to know a good way to do it, here I will give you the steps.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Know the right time to act
Step 1. Know when it's time for you to act
The first thing you need to know is when it's time to get serious. You cannot do this all the time or you will lose the power of this attitude. You can even lose your friends. But if someone puts you down, makes you look small, then it's time to get serious. If you feel that the person is someone who often insults you and you are being sweet but he is still like that, then being serious is the answer.
If you feel unappreciated too often, it's time for you to act. Being a Kind Lord or Mistress won't always work
Step 2. Make sure that your motivation is purely to defend your rights
You can't be serious to hurt other people, to show off or to make yourself a little better. If that's what you want, then it could end up with you being serious all the time. You only need to do it when you need to be heard and noticed, or when someone else thinks you are a living joke. Always remember, that this power is used for good, not to make you a criminal.
And this doesn't mean fighting fire with fire will work. If someone is serious about you, then the solution is not to be serious too. But if there's no other way, maybe it's time for you to define who you are
Step 3. Don't overdo it
Always choose who you talk to, and don't get used to being serious about everyone or your personality will shift a little later.
Control yourself. If you feel that right now is too good to be serious, then you shouldn't do it
Step 4. Make sure you don't change completely
There are many ways to be serious and of course you can use all of them. However, you certainly don't want it if your original attitude is covered by the serious attitude you make. If you act like you're not, then surely people around you will immediately know it and think that you look funny.
Don't overdo it. If you were originally a shy and gentle person and suddenly you become talkative, people will laugh at you later
Method 2 of 3: Adapt to the situation
Step 1. Don't be afraid to say no
People who are serious will not make way for you to surpass them. You have to be ready to define who you are and say no to people who pressure you, ask you to do things you shouldn't do, or things you don't like. Bullies are more interested in asking others to do what they want than doing something for the common good.
- If something seems strange or something you can't do, then say no. This moment is the new you, always remember that.
- This is to get what you deserve. People won't appreciate you if you say yes to everything they want you to do.
Step 2. Don't take less than you deserve
If you want to get what you deserve, then you need to remember that you are entitled to get what you want, and that you don't have to spend your time doing what other people want you to do. You can climb up the career ladder, or some people who annoy you will continue to corner you. Whatever you want, do it, and see that you deserve the best for your life. Don't let other people tell you otherwise.
You need to know what you want to know when you've done it. Think for a moment about what you want for your life, and what you hope to get by being serious about other people
Step 3. Accept what is the result of your work
People who are serious have their own thoughts to deal with the problems of their life. This doesn't mean you have to take big risks, but you do need to believe in yourself and not care too much about what other people think. If you want to go to a concert but no one is with you, go alone.
Stop making yourself seem comfortable when you're not, and don't focus on people who don't care about you
Step 4. Think of the world as your shell
Stop thinking that the world doesn't give you or keep what you do, and think that something is something you can achieve. When you enter a room, don't hesitate, worrying that you will do something wrong or that you don't know anyone in it; instead, think that this is a really good time for you.
This is all a matter of attitude. If you think that all a million good things can happen to you and you're excited to start getting what you want, your chances of getting it are much higher than when you just sit in the corner and cry, "Nothing good will ever happen to me." …”
Step 5. Believe in your abilities
Don't wait for other people to acknowledge how great you are, how good you look, or how valuable you are. Everything will be meaningless if you never believe in yourself. Therefore, show your abilities, and let others see that you are comfortable and don't care what other people think about you and that is what bullying means.
This does not mean that you are a perfect person. This means that you have to realize that you are a valuable and worthy person, that's all
Step 6. Focus on what you want
Another way to intimidate others is to know what you want. Like when you walk down a corridor and ignore anyone who puts you down; and also like when you want to graduate college in three years. Whatever your desires, establish a vision for the future that you want to achieve, and show it to everyone around you until they will think, "wow, nothing can stop this person."
Eyes looking straight ahead instead of looking down at the floor. Let others see you as a person with a bright future
Step 7. Confirm your thoughts
People who are serious about everything don't go around asking what they should do. Even if you ask questions to find the right answer, you need to avoid being overly concerned.
Even if other people show their thoughts, you don't need to criticize them too much, this will only make you unappreciated later. Believe in your own thoughts but that doesn't mean you have to force your thoughts
Step 8. Self-control
A person who has a serious attitude must have self-control over his emotions, his body, and his words. Speak slowly and in control and don't look like you're about to explode when you're cornered. If you seem to be getting angry or your tone of voice is higher, then step back for a moment and take a deep breath and then exhale slowly. If you want people to notice you, then you need to act so they think, “wow, this guy is really serious about his business…”
If you want to be seen as someone who is opinionated and taken seriously, then you need to control your words and emotions
Step 9. Radiate confidence
You can't be serious if you don't have good self-confidence. You have to love yourself, know where you're going, and what you're doing. Speak clear articulation, maintain eye contact, have good posture, and don't look around you too often to show that you're out of focus. You don't have to be arrogant, but if you look too weak, then no one will take you seriously in everything.
When you can control yourself, then that is more than enough to be able to remain confident
Method 3 of 3: Take Action
Step 1. Stand up straight
Whatever happens, don't give up. Even if someone dismisses your thoughts as gibberish, stand your ground and carry on with your speech. Don't go, "Yeah, it looks like you're right. I'm such an idiot," or something like that. Continue. Even if you lose, it will show people that you don't give up on what you believe in. Just make sure that you don't come across as stubborn.
Step 2. Be quiet
This will be very useful for masking facial expressions and verbal language. It is also useful to create a mysterious impression for others without you having to say much.
Always remember not to appear afraid or you will be intimidated
Step 3. Describe the flaws with positive emotions
This includes avoiding laughing, joking and smiling, even if this is normally your typical attitude towards other people. If this seems difficult to do, be expressionless. However, negative expressions such as anger are still acceptable.
Step 4. Use the appropriate tone of voice when speaking
Make sure your voice appears confident and clear. Don't whisper. Speak a little louder every now and then, to make sure that you are heard. Don't say anything that provokes an argument or you could get in trouble.
You can practice at home by recording your speech and then listening to it again, so that you know how your tone of voice is
Step 5. Describe in detail your opinion
If for example there is someone who makes a wrong decision or doesn't look very good on his appearance, be honest with that person, but say it wisely, not in a condescending tone. You may need to use sarcastic while commenting.
This is a great way to show how much you don't care what other people think of you
Step 6. Walk into the room as if it were yours
People who want to appear serious know what they have to do and walk into the room as if it were theirs. It's as if they're saying, "get out of the way, don't get in the way!" This of course will make people a little scared and will think, “This person deserves to be listened to.” If you want to be serious, then you can't put on a confused face like someone who is lost. Act fast and show others who's boss.
Don't look around nervously. If you seem to know what to do, indirectly other people will feel a little intimidated by you
Step 7. Don't laugh “too” much
Although it looks scary, serious people also have a soft side. Humor is the best stress reliever and can help you connect with other people, but if you're around people you want to bully, then cut back on your jokes. You can't let them think you're an easy person to joke around with, or they'll simply take advantage of your outgoing attitude.
Of course, if you're hanging out with people who don't want to see you look serious, then laugh with them to your heart's content
Step 8. Let your achievements do the talking
You don't have to bother to brag about yourself to others. When you talk about how great you were on the gridiron/school/when you started your business, then other people will actually look down on you than when they know your greatness by themselves. If you are great, then other people will find out quickly; if you tell them, they won't care at all.
Don't overly brag to others about your ability to frighten others. This actually seems to show that you are someone who is difficult to be accepted by society
Step 9. Don't be annoying
Don't seduce people when you don't really need them, beg for recognition, or something that is considered annoying. This attitude will make others think that you don't know what you really want, or that you can't do anything on your own. If you do something annoying to a teacher, a popular person, or to a boss, then you will lose respect from the people around you because you can't respect yourself either.
Step 10. Pay attention to your appearance
If you want to look serious in front of other people, then you can't appear in a disheveled style. You don't need to dress up in formal clothes, casual clothes will suffice, look clean, don't wrinkle, shower regularly, and do everything necessary to support your appearance. This is the basis for respecting yourself.
Do not let you look in the mirror or tidy up your appearance in public. This shows that you seem a little unsure of yourself
Step 11. Don't show your weakness
This is not a time when others see you worried, afraid, or doubtful. If you want to appear serious, then you have to make other people think that you are comfortable with who you are, that you are not worried about who you are. If you expose your weaknesses too much, other people will quickly make you the target of their bullying.
It doesn't matter if you show it to your close friends. But if you have entered a public area and you want to intimidate others, then hide it
