How Intimidating You Are, According To Your Zodiac Sign
You can be scary.
When you walk into a room, you feel it immediately — you're not like everybody else. There’s something about you that intimidates other people. Maybe it’s your take no sh*t attitude or perhaps it’s the way you stand tall and proud.
People tend to avert their eyes, or if they do look at you, they’ll try to avoid direct eye contact. Do you make them feel ashamed in some way because they’re not as open and honest as you are?
It’s your honesty that might be intimidating to certain people. You don’t hold back with your feelings whether they’re good or bad; you express them and some people just aren’t up to hearing your brutal assessment of their personalities.
You don’t understand people who play dumb or don’t try to improve themselves as if they never need to learn anything ever again. You won’t suffer fools for any reason, except to laugh at them. You have what people describe as having a strong personality. You are who you are and you don’t try to hide the traits that other people might think of as negative or unattractive.
Many people admire you and how you live your life, even to the point where they want to copy the way you do things. Your self-sufficient way of thinking can be off-putting to some people but you don’t care what anybody thinks about you.
You live your life for you, not for other people. You’re not content to say what you’d like to do or what you’d like to change — you get out there and do it, no matter how challenging it might be. You want to be able to look back at your life and know that you did everything you could to be a better person and make a better world.
But not everybody who is intimidating is intimidating in the same way. Here are the most intimidating zodiac signs, according to astrology.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)

You can be intimidating in the way that you fight for the things you believe in. You're perfectly charming and gracious most of the time, but when you think someone's been wronged in some way, you get fierce and no one had better get in your way. You can also be intimidating when all the negative emotions you've been burying finally come out of you. No one wants to be around you when you explode; it's not pretty and it's very unsettling.

You work extremely hard and it pays off. It's your continuing success that so many people find intimidating.

If there were more people who were as resourceful, dedicated, and dependable like you, the world would be a better place. You know the value of your self-worth but you aren't full of yourself or horribly self-centered.
