Yeah,,

What? No
I'm not projecting
Trust me

PS, please don't call this or me "girlboss". That term has been ruined unfortunately due to misuse of it.

But I hope that my intimidation doesn't come across as just, "Don't test me" or whatever but as a way to inspire others that they too can be intimidating and ward off anyone who would try to hurt you.

It reads as though some people who know me who call me that haven't approached someone has been advocating for herself to where she doesn't allow others to walk all over them, which is really unfortunate (the nicest way of putting it)

But am I intimidating because I speak up and defend myself?
Am I intimidating because I don't find it difficult to say no to others regardless of our relationship?
Am I intimidating because of how loud my love and passion can be?
