People who are intimidating tend to be overbearing and make other people feel threatened, overpowered, or even terrified. Of course, it's okay to be self-assured, dominating, and confident.

In business, in public, and in personal interactions, being confident can make people take you more seriously. However, there is a distinction between being confident and being intimidating.

Self-assurance and a readiness to voice one's opinions are characteristics of confidence. On the other side, intimidation is defined as an attempt to stifle or even silence the contributions of others.

People are less inclined to confide in you or ask for your assistance if they feel threatened by you. They might even try to keep their distance from you entirely.

The OP had a roommate who chose to intimidate them at any given opportunity. Okay, so the OP has three roommates, but one of them, whom the OP referred to as B, wanted to move out, saying she was unhappy.

After she looked around and realized how good her rent was for the size of her room, she decided to stay. Then, B became very toxic, demanding strict rules, accusing the rest of them of stealing and trespassing in her room and trying to intimidate them during encounters in common spaces.

Little did she know that karma was right around the corner, as everything spun around so quickly, and she was given 30 days to find a new space.

From a Redditor who expected a different ending to the story

I kinda thought this was going to take a different twist. I assumed that when B was told you'd be moving out - including S - , she was forced to look for a new place and when she finally did, you'd actually not move at all.

Anyway, this is fun too!

Maintaining relationships and assuring others that you are not as threatening as you appear can both be facilitated by becoming less intimidating. Usually, it takes being pushed against a wall before people decide to fight back sometimes.

Clearly, the OP and the other roommates were pushed hard and B was the one that came crashing. Drop your thoughts about this story in the comments below.
