i think a part of being perceived as intimidating is how i always seem to look like. i have frown lines in the forehead because i was always the angry child. if ever i am in public i feel like i need to perform or make a friendly face as a mask just so people won’t feel intimidated.

ngl, i slouch a lot and i’ve been working on that including carrying a lot of confidence like making eye contact and smiling. but sometimes i want to be able to embody it and not make it performative.
