Today, I felt intimidated. This caused me to reflect upon what it was that caused me to have those feelings and the result was a top 10 list because, well, everyone loves a top 10 list!
Top 10 Types of People Who Intimidate Me
- 10. People Who Are Mean – Mean people suck.
- 9. Family Members (Includes both in- and out-laws) – Nope. I’ll never be good enough for you. Deal with it, Judgey Judgerson.
- 8. Religious Figures – See Family Members.
- 7. Obsessive Cat People – I just don’t know how to communicate with people who think it is okay to collect cats either in the live or virtual format (see: people who post pictures of cats, funny cats, cats doing funny things, cats wearing funny costumes, etc.).Â
- 6. People Who Are Perfect And Know It – Brilliant, rich, educated, beautiful, talented, kind, powerful, sexy, and confident, these people are wonderful to be around. You aspire to both please and emulate them. Then, when you leave their presence, you fester over all the stupid things you did or said and worry he or she thinks you’re a moron….but that’s okay, because you secretly call him or her a jackass when he or she corrects your grammar.
- 5. People With No Obvious Emotions – These are the kind you speculate on how they feel or what they might think about something. But, guess what? You’re wrong. Again.
- 4. Extremists – I am an extremist about not being an extremist.
- 3. Passive-Aggressive People – Surprise, buddy! You’re under a bus!
- 2.  People Who Are Volatile – You know, those types you never have to ask how they’re doing.  It is either a very good day or a very bad day, but either way – watch out!
- 1. People Who Are Perfect And Don’t Know It – Brilliant, rich, educated, beautiful, talented, kind, powerful, sexy, and sensitive, these people are wonderful to be around. You aspire to both please and emulate them. Then, when you leave their presence, you fester over all the stupid things you did or said and worry he or she thinks you’re a moron….but that’s okay, because you know you’ll obsessively try again to gain his or her favor.
Any types we should add to the list?

Love this post! The irony to me is…I think of you as a person who doesn’t get intimidated and who exudes non-plus-ed-ness.
, yes. Well, I do acknowledge both my acting skills and my competence at plus size-ed-ness.

after seeing that, can we still be friends?
Yes, but we might not be able to hold a conversation.
How about a “Top 10 List of People Who Uplift Me”? Are some of them the same as the ones who intimidate? Are they the exact opposite?
To intimidate means “to frighten, daunt, subdue, terrify”–may I suggest that “intimidate” be changed to “annoy” or “turn off”?
Wow – way to be critical, Senor Webster. You may suggest alternate words, but I meant intimidate. #1 would be on both lists.
