I feel that my timid/passive personality allows for people to take advantage over me and use me as a doormat. I am already well built and have done mma, even shooting courses in the past but that does not make someone more dominant.
>benching 255lbs
>squatting 315lbs
>dont deadlift but shrug 335lbs for reps.
>shoulder press 90 pound dumbells for a few
yet people can see past that when they hear me speak, i have a weak presence. Also i am only 5'9" so it does not help at all. What can i do to be more intimidating and have people respect me more? Remember the issues is that i am too passive, not that i am physically weak and incapable of defending myself.

Be a weak quiet whiteboy in any Middle/Highschool environment.

You don't need to be intimidating get your point across. Dominance tactics are for literal psychopaths. You just need more self esteem.
>>
>>37301992
>only 5'9

Kek, literally impossible to be intimidating.
>>
>>37302035
>You just need more self esteem.
The general vibe of disrespect from others is why i am like this in the first place, i am timid in these situations but when i am by myself or at the gym i get very pissed at myself and how fucking pussy i am.
>>
>>37301992
shout at people when they say hi
>>
If your problem is timidity and passivity, there's no need to become intimidating. Just stop being timid and passive. Those are different things.
>>
>>37302047
I am not talking about being a big ass fucking bouncer or something, i am talking about having a more assertive/aggressive personality when its needed.
>>
>>37302107
>Just stop being timid and passive.
How the fuck do i even do this? I am literally a fucking coward and i need to be able to just act without thinking/choking on my thoughts.

People know that i am a coward, and they take advantage of me knowing that i am nothing to fear. I want a nerve racking/uncertain vibe.
>>
>>37302134
Stop thinking you have anything to prove. Most people are cowards since we don't have to fend off lions from eating our young on a daily basis. It's cliched as hell but just be yourself.

What do you mean by you're a coward anyway? What are you afraid of?
>>
>>37302179
Act rediculously vulnerable on purpose then one day snap and create a rea uneasiness around others
>>
>>37302183
For example
>i hear someone mumble something about me, i look at them and ask what they said but i fail to make a real confrontation.
>I cant hold conversations and i run out of things to say quickly and freeze up like a deer in the headlights.
>I lost a fight because of this.
>Social anxiety
>I am really timid/pussy like while someone is clearly mocking me, yet only when i am by myself or working out is when i get aggressive.
I just have a weak fucking vibe to me, i want to man the fuck up but i dont fucking know what to do.
>>
>>37302249
You're incredibly insecure/neurotic. Stop picking fights with people.


I haven't been in a fight since high school. As an adult you should be trying to deescalate conflict not escalate it. There will be times when that's not possible but so what life goes on.


I don't know how you lost a fight because you ran out of things to say in a conversation but really stop thinking of the world as a battle arena. There are dickheads out there but no one likes those people.
>>
>>37302249
In Public
>Quiet awkward coward, weak handshake, beta posture.
Alone.
>Angry, violent, fantasize about killing people, watch disturbing videos on the internet, jerk off to rape porn, hit gym personal records
If i wasnt a coward then i wouldnt be doing these things after holding in stress.
>>
>>37302304
The fight was agreed boxing match, everyone else didnt want to fight the guy so i tried to act hard and be the one to step in. The social pressure is what made me lose and i hesitated.
>>
>>37301992
People can see the fear in your eyes when you walk. Walk with your dick in the forefront. Don't thrust out your crotch but lead with your dick. It will set some chemicals in motion in your brain and repeated habit will get rid of your weakness.

Don't be intimidating anon, people who are constantly trying to be intimidating are cringey sperglord fags and/or total junkie dropkicks.
Just be stoic and steadfast in your values, if you don't want to give an inch, don't. It's that simple.

Trying to be intimidating is cringy af, besides people can pick up on whether you're just fronting or not

Guys walking like there buff af or just try to act imitating is just laughable....

macho insecurity is the worst

>>37301992
>5'9"
manlets, when will they learn? If you're the height of a doormat, don't act surprised when people treat you like one.
>Remember the issues is that i am too passive, not that i am physically weak and incapable of defending myself.
Then the solution is for you to be more active. Talk back. Engage in verbal conflict. Be less tolerant, be more stubborn. You only need one more "no" than they got. Get your needs met.

In other news, fuck off Chad.

You can't lose if you're not playing.

wtf I hate Hitler now

>You can't lose if you're not playing.
WRONG. If you fight, you can loose, if you don't fight, you have already lost. What you lose is getting your needs met. You loose quality of life. And you loose the ability to know wether it's lose or loose.
There's a reason why girls want guys that know what they want and aren't afraid to take it, they want guys that get their(the guys own) needs met.
>>
>>37304361
I'm talking, and OP is talking, about assholes who give him shit. They're trying to pull him into their game, if OP doesn't engage then he won't lose their little bullshit game and he can continue on with the vastly superior game, his own.
This isn't to say that fighting for something is bad, it's just wise to pick your battles. Some asshole giving you shit isn't a battle you want to engage in. The second you do, you are stooping to their level and have already lost.
>>
>>37304416
>it's just wise to pick your battles.
this is true
>Some asshole giving you shit isn't a battle you want to engage in.
But is this the battle situation OP finds herself in?
>>
>>37304320

>hitler was 5'8"

he was born in 1889. 5'8" back then is equivalent to like 6'1" today.

>>37304484
Based on this post >>37302249
dealing with assholes who talk shit seems to be something he struggles with.
>>
>>37302085
If you're having intrusive thoughts you probably should meditate. It sounds like you don't really know yourself and are afraid of introspection. Why are you afraid in these situations? It sounds like you get sent into a fight/flight response.
>>
>>37304517
>dealing with assholes who talk shit seems
speaking as not-him it seems to me like the perfect people to talk shit back to. as long as they only talk shit and dont get violent or threaten violence, he can totally talk shit back to them.

Then why is it that every time I see him with a group of people he's one of the shortest if not the shortest?
The manlet meme is a meme. It holds some truth but nowhere near to the extent of the meme. Short men who have a commanding presence are more intimidating than a beta lanklet. OP isn't even that short anyway, he's slightly below average, nothing to be too fussed about.

>>37304586
What's the point?
What does either side gain other than a foul taste in their mouth?

>>37304611
>What's the point?
>What does either side gain other than a foul taste in their mouth?
The point is gaining quality of life. Being timid and talked shit to feels bad. But fighting back and winning feels good. Eventually, they might stop harassing you altogether.
And you don't care about what the other side gains for now, they talk shit, you give em shit back.

The thing is, when an argument is just insult hurling for no apparent reason it usually comes down to deep rooted insecurity and projection of that insecurity.
Is that really what you want to engage in? It serves no purpose.
That victory is a hollow victory.

all that intellectual prowess, yet no drive to defend yourself. Sad!

>Is that really what you want to engage in? It serves no purpose.
Of course I'd rather not fight! But when you're attacked and don't fight back, you lose big time.
>That victory is a hollow victory.
One victory in the war. it's not hollow if your life gets better by it!
>>
>>37302085
Alright, I'll give you one simple tip, whenever someone is disrespecting you, just stare them down and let yourself get angry. This will either resulting a fight that you have to win or they will back off.
>>
>>37302304
>There are dickheads out there but no one likes those people.
yet all of them have had multiple gfs throughout their lives while OP is a handholdless virgin

think outside of your "b urself" bubble, this is NOT and will NEVER be a just world like you want to believe it is because you yourself lucked out into a good environment
>>
>>37304782
No, I do defend myself, I just pick my battles.
Some asshole I don't even know calling me a fuckwit? No thanks, not worth my time.
Someone undermining me in an attempt to steal my promotion? Cunt's fucked.

>But when you're attacked and don't fight back, you lose big time.
Be the bigger man anon. Walk away. It's not worth your time. Once you are content with yourself and don't feel the need to engage with someone who clearly isn't it feels a lot better than stooping to their level.

>One victory in the war. it's not hollow if your life gets better by it!
Congratulations, you have defeated king shit! You now wear the icy crown of piss and sit atop shit mountain.
How do you feel?
>>
Flipping your fucking shit and going from 0 to 11 the minute something pisses you off always works, if they don't think they can predict your behavior they'll be more scared of you.

Pros- They wont fuck with you as much anymore
cons- you will be known as a psycho.
>>
>>37304884
>Someone undermining me in an attempt to steal my promotion? Cunt's fucked.
please tell me more how you respond to that

>Be the bigger man anon. Walk away. It's not worth your time. Once you are content with yourself and don't feel the need to engage with someone who clearly isn't it feels a lot better than stooping to their level.
again, this depends on the battle. you are right for some battles, but not for others.

>Congratulations, you have defeated king shit! You now wear the icy crown of piss and sit atop shit mountain.
How do you feel?
I really think we're talking about different battles here. But if we do talk about the same ones, yeah, feelsgoodman.
>>
>>37305019
Any way I can, depends heavily on the situation.
That's just a hypothetical example though. The point I'm trying to get across is that fighting a battle that may have actual real consequences on your life is worth fighting, petty squabbles are not.

Exactly, pick your battles. ^

I'm talking about talking shit back to the asshole giving you shit for no apparent reason other than bullshit posturing.
The king shit metaphor means that you're not really king of anything other than a pile of shit.
Would you rather be king shit or would you rather go to the kingdom of gold and glory and ascend the throne there?
>>
>>37301992

if you are at least a bit creepy, smiling will add to that
just like the grinning evil masterming

I agree!

>Would you rather be king shit or would you rather go to the kingdom of gold and glory and ascend the throne there?
now we're deeply into metaphores, and heres more: you want the throne, but have limited time and resources and abiities. Depending on your stats, becoming king shit first and then going for the glorious golden throne is the better way.
>>
>>37305162
You've wasted your time on becoming good at bullshit when you could have spent time becoming the golden God, the one who rose above the shit and didn't get dirty in the process.

learn to be more manipulative.

people already respect you because you're big, but you gotta learn to be assertive with your words aswell.

>>37305210

Had to do some shit, but I'm back.

With a shit repelling force-field of course.

whoah, nice! Now where do I get one of those?

You have to make it yourself, friend.

It's just 3 parts self love and confidence and 2 parts the vibrational waves of children chanting "sticks and stones"

Once these items are obtained you're good to go!
No more getting buttmad at nobheads saying nobhead things!
You can now focus your time and effort on more productive things AND you'll be stress-free when facing dickheads!

>thinks benching heavy weight makes you intimidating

i'm a submission wrestler and i whooped fat fucks like you on a regular even back in freshman year lmao i see so many bodybuilders think they're hard or something it is beyond me how you people think lifting weights up and down will give you a domineering or scary presence just do a martial art and work on your charisma
>>
>>37305808
whoah dude i love you and your very original forcefield
>>
>>37306019
Wait a minute, are you being sarcastic?
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Anyway, fighting some battles even seemingly petty ones at first can sometimes be the best course of action but that's only in rare cases when you're facing a relentless cunt who won't stop bothering you. If you've tried ignoring them/steering into the skid and that's failed, go ahead, kick their ass or just destroy them verbally by finding out their weak points, go full machiavelli if you want and ruin their fucking life. But this is usually energy best spent elsewhere and not worth your time.

I'm tired and this has gotten silly so I'm going to call it a night. it's been fun shitposting/debating with you anon.
>>
>>37306148
no i'm not being sarcastaic and I love your use of the ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO meme,it's underappreciated
>[...]

y-you t-too
>>
>>37306148
also I need to add:
it might be the case that if you fight back in some way in a traumatic situation prevents PTSD.
>>
on a related note, how do you deal with passive aggressiveness? being passive aggressive back is bitch behaviour, and calling the person out on it makes you seem like you're in the wrong
>>
>>37304602
completely true.
I'm a broad shouldered 6' guy and no one respects me.
The most alpha guy in my group of friends is the shortest.
>>
>>37307803
how short is he? obviously shorter than you, but roundabout?
>>
>>37301992
easy.

don't give a shit.
make them angry at you.
>>
>>37308898
... and finally be angry yet smug
>>
>>37301992
It's all in your eyes, they are the window to the soul. If you have rounded eyes, they are prey eyes. If you have more elliptical eyes, they are hunter eyes. Look at mountain lion's eye shape vs an elk or any other predator/prey

>>37301992

I've been told that looking too intimidating is my problem. I look pissed and unapproachable all the time. It's off-putting
