This has been long time in making:

Do you find me intimidating?

If so, why...? It's something I can never comprehend... and I'd like to understand, so I could stop.

No! I do not. On occasion, I find you hard to read, like... I can't quite tell what you're thinking/feeling? And sometimes that puts me off, a bit, but I get over it. I like you, so it doesn't matter. ♥

I used to. But it changes, little by little, the more I get to know you -- I think that's understandable and natural. You do hold yourself apart from people sometimes (often?), and like Cassie said, sometimes you're hard to read. Lately that's been more 'frustrating' than 'intimidating,' though, if I have to be honest.

I've been accused of being intimidating, too, usually before I've really gotten to know someone. I think it's because I'm choosy about who I let myself get close to, and I'm pretty sure that you're the same way. So when one reserves judgment about others, it can be perceived as aloofness. Combine that with an occasional temper (and not knowing what will set it off), and yeah ... it can be pretty intimidating.

On the other hand, that caution isn't something that needs to be changed, either. It makes more sense to me to open up to a few people of your own choosing than to try and be friends with everybody all the time. Quality over quantity, things like that. I've noticed that you've been easier to talk to lately, and

No, not in the least... and I don't remember ever being intimidated by you, but I don't feel intimidated often. I do have to echo Cassie and Jen that it's possible that your moodiness (for a lack of a better way to put it and with apologies) could potentially make people feel like they're walking on broken glass around you. You do sometimes blow hot and cold, but that's just you and I don't take it personally.

I also have to echo Jen in saying that I think with time, you're becoming more approachable just in general. It's hard to tell from the point of view of someone who has known you for almost three years (holy crap Oo;), but that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting.

Nope, and I've never found you intimidating, either. I'm going to follow the trend and agree with Anne Marie, Jen and Cassie on the points they made - else than that, I don't really have anything else productive to add that could possibly clarify things for you. You're just Blanche, to me. ♥

I used to be, I have to admit. But I am easy to scare. XD I just sucked it up and went on with life and learnt that no, you're not scary. I'd say fierce? Strong? Admirable? Passionate? You have a spine and you wield it well, I'd say. ;D It just comes across as moody or firey at times... I'm not sure how to explain myself but I guess you appear to feel things more deeply?

And I'll echo what the others have said as well, you hold yourself apart at times and you are hard to read but that's just you.

When I first met you, I guess those qualities can be overpowering and therefore seem scary. And being distance makes you seem uncaring so that can be scary? If you can't read a person and all that. But I know that even though you seem that way, you are awesome underneath, you're just passionate and not as crazy as the rest of us. ;D
