Things that Intimidate...

[Cath!]

For me, it has always been tests...tests of all kinds. Today, for example, I had to take a typing speed test...I have been typing 8 hours a day on a fulltime basis since last July so I know that my typing speed is well in excess of 60 wpm. BUT the test I took only scored me at 56 wpm with 3 errors which means that the final total was 53 wpm...that just sucks! Oh well...I have the weekend to practice and then I have another hospital to try the same thing at on Monday.

What intimidates you?

 

[Spinaroonie]

Women.
Decisions.
Big Tough Guys.
Women.

That sums it up. Oh, wait, Girls.

Actually nothing intimidates me..and thats the truth. Course, I'm a little bit...ummmm...self confident.

BTW...next hospital you go to take the other hand out of your pants and use them both. I'll bet you break 100!!!!

Those and crazed dogs - not much else.

Any cures around?

posting. i know it sounds dumb and i don't mind things like public speaking or tests...but there's something about sitting alone in my apartment, looking at something i just wrote and only having myself to say, "does that sound as dumb as it looks?"

i'll be having one of those moments in about four minutes...

 

[Lili]

Hmm, public speaking in front of strangers.

Calling anyone that I don't know very well.

For me . . . it is women who cry. I can't tell them to knock it off or shut up because that is wrong but I feel intimidated since there is little I can do but hold them unless they are someone I barely know!

 

[T.H. Oughts]

I was attacked by a dog whie walking down a street when I was a teenager, so I always have a small fear when a dog comes up to me that I don't know.

Otherwise I kind of live with the saying... Feel the fear, do it anyway... if there is something I wanna do

Yes - surround yourself with beautiful women; immersion therapy.

 

[VanB]

If only I could surround myself with beautiful women.

Wait a minute......

That's why I'm here at Lit! I'll be cured soon

Thanks STG

Yeah, Right.

I can see some of what you say but it depends on who has the power over you and how it is used.

 

[lovetoread]

Yeah, Right.

For example #1. My ex. He controls all of the money. I have none. I had to ask him for a gallon of milk today (which he never got me) and that intimidated me.

For example #2. I cannot stand having to call anyone. Period.

What intimidates me

Tax Forms.

 

[seXieleXie]

taxes don't just intimidate me, they scare the crap out of me!

professor intimidate me sometimes. and pushy sales people. i run away from people in department stores who offer to help me.

 

[horny_giraffe]

The very idea of cold calling scares the hell out of me.

I worked for six months doing phone surveys for a while to try and get over it, but it still scares me. I just don't like the phone.

 

[Wiggles]

I'm intimidated by snobby rich people, chat rooms, and............... SUV's!

I'm with STG and VanB... beautiful women. I'm a shy guy at heart.
