Self-defense tip: How to be scary and intimidating in less than 5 seconds

06/15/2022 / By Zoey Sky

As a prepper, you might sometimes need to look more intimidating, such as when you’re trying to scare off a potential attacker.

Even under normal circumstances, you can benefit from knowing how to look intimidating, like if you want to be taken seriously at work. (h/t to TheSurvivalMom.com)
Body language and how it affects how people perceive you

You’re always communicating, even if you’re not saying a word to another person.

Consciously or unconsciously, you say things through your gestures, movements and facial expressions. Other people also perceive attitudes, personality and character qualities from these actions.

In fact, nonverbal communication holds tremendous sway in your communications with other people. If you’re talking to someone, tilting your head to one side or leaning in indicates interest.

If your arms are crossed, you will seem defensive while nail-biting can signal nervousness and anxiety.

When you notice discrepancies between what you hear and see, you may tend to prioritize what you see.

Most of the time, if you’re experiencing these discrepancies you may get confused, which can affect your situational awareness. But this can also work to your advantage if you’re interacting with another person who’s confused.

This can also work to your advantage if you are forced to confront someone because you or someone you know feels threatened. (Related: Self-defense 101: Ways to protect yourself when facing a dangerous situation.)

If you need to be scary and intimidate someone, learn “the stare.”

This stare is different from what is known as giving someone “the stink eye.” Rather, this particular stare is devoid of expression.

Except that that may up the ante too much.  I can say that in a wide number of cases, the "stare" can be quite effective.  Body language generally is a very effective means of communication, if one knows how to use it.
