In today's world, it is very clear that face-to-face discussions are dying. So, when it comes to getting to know someone or getting into relationships, it isn't easy.

I had a friend confide in me about her situation. Her "friends" told her that a number of guys liked her, but she was too unapproachable for them to talk to. I call bull@#!%.

Then I thought of instances that I have been through myself, and I realized that I too have had a few guys tell me that I make them "nervous." Some even feared the thought of meeting up with me.

A person who is hardworking, goal oriented and looks like they have their life together can intimidate anyone. That's a fact. But you can't blame yourself for that. Be proud that your success scares others.

There is nothing wrong with it. Weaker people won't approach you because they aren't anywhere close to where you are in your life. That's fine. In a sense, it's like you are already weeding potential partners out just by being the strong-willed person that you are. People question themselves when they see someone doing better than them, and they often get jealous.

Your independence and your accomplishments may make them feel like they can't stand in your light, so to speak. But by no means should you dumb yourself down or act like your achievements aren't that great.

You have built yourself up to be where you are and who you are. Don't tear it down now because someone is intimidated by that. If anything, feel good about yourself. You are doing so good in your life that another person doesn't want to dim your shine and doesn't even know how to go about talking to you because your impact is so powerful.

People don't always clap for others' success. They either frown or run. So if someone chooses to do that to you, look the other way.

And if someone tries to tell you that you are unapproachable to others, they are wrong. You just intimidate them, and that's fine.

As Anthony Hincks once said, "Intimidation is an art form." So continue on with your success, and someone just as strong as you will come along. And they won't be scared, they'll be impressed.
