I’m kind of a poster child for intimidating people. I was born 10 lbs and have always been big. 6’5 and I lift so... most people don’t even look me in the eye. But I’ve learned to kill them with kindness. It makes people REALLY paranoid. Have patience. Stand tall. Your physical posture can be useful. Don’t let people walk all over you but you don’t have to be abusive or crude to get a point across. Ask questions. Keep asking. Be nice and in the words of Patrick Swayze from Roadhouse “I want you to be nice.. until it’s time to not be nice.” One of the worst movies of all time but a marine corps fav. Always take the high road because those who don’t suffer from their mistakes eventually. How many times have we been chastised about masks or vax? Gas, rent and groceries too high? Socialism sucks, don’t it? Now they’re suffering the consequences and we can just sit back and see them scrambling. I hate to see human suffering but damn if I didn’t warn ya. And yet, I’ll still keep being kind because it wastes energy to be spiteful and mean.
Patience, calmness, kindness. Wait 3 seconds before you respond to a verbal altercation. Look them in the eyes and count to three in your head and speak very calmly. Have fun experimenting with that.
My mom had me and then when she had my sister, they knew she was going to also be big. They did a sonogram while she was at the hospital and estimated her to be between 12-14 pounds! They said it could break the hospital record. My mom laments how she was bawling, saying “I don’t want to break records!” But she didn’t. Same as me basically. I guess the sonograms are not an exact science.

A favorite saying, can't remember where I heard it: "Violence is not the answer, unless it's the only answer."
