What Kinds of People Scare You the Most?

Question

For example... motorcycle dudes covered in tats... powerful corporate executives... bald guys with gotees... "street"-looking tough chicks... muscular guys... people with certain physical characteristics... old people.... quiet people... kids (I once knew a 22 year-old girl who was intimidated by children). What kind(s) of people scare you/freak you out... and why? Thanks for answering!

P.S. Please be honest. sheer_black's answer is very frank and from the heart -- thank you.

Answer 1

I'm kind of afraid of reserved-looking, and overly insecured (snobish) nerds (no offense to them). I also feel intimidated with snobish socialite early twenties girls who loves to party and too much fashion. I also feel kind of weird towards police men... whenever I see a group of them, I feel like I did something wrong or... and I kinda hate them in a way lol. I also feel some kind of intimidation with overly-achieved people with and air of a snob or boastfulness. I also have a thing with poor people (street children, homeless folks)... lol... hmm sounds judgemental but that's how I feel towards them.

Answer 2

Answer 3

They are all expressing themselves in one way or another, whether "we" like it or not.
What scares me / freaks me out is coming to understand that a person's true perspective is NOTHING LIKE the persona they portray to the world.
My reasoning is this:
People who show themselves to be one person, when they are ACTUALLY another (deep within), are hiding ...faking... for a very valid reason.
They know, instinctively, that they are unacceptable to the masses.
They understand that other folks are smart to avoid them.
People who cannot express their true selves may simply be insecure (neurotic), or they may be hiding their intentions (evil). It takes Time to reveal a person fully, due to the complexity of the human being's Nature.
When one is insecure, Time will give them the security they need to express themselves amongst those whom they know and trust. When one is evil, Time only gives them the edge.
I think we all have a social persona as well as a private personality, and Civilization as we know it exists due to that fact.
You know what I mean -- we all fart & burp when we are alone or with our nuclear family; we dont do that in professional or social settings.
We all have SOME measure of control over our personalities when it's called for. We are, therefore, "civilized."
What frightens me are those who have that same level of control
even amongst their "nearest & dearest"...those who play strategy games with their daily lives, their daily existence, their every moment in the presence of others.
It has taken me a long, long time to understand that what we see is not always what we get when it comes to the motivating factors of another's behaviors.
It is extremely frightening to me, to realize that people can be so calculating - so self-preserving- that they are able to plan for any eventuality -- then cover their *** accordingly.
It takes a combination of intelligence and evil to be able to do that.
Please understand, I am not referring to intelligent, adult decisions which "cover your ***."
That is not a game, but a requirement of successful adulthood:
we MUST consider all the possibilities while making familial, professional, & personal decisions.
I am referring to those who are only referencing themselves and their desires, those who only get a charge in Life by "winning" at every turn of every dance.
It frightens me on a very deep level to know that there really ARE people who are completely emotionless, who feel nothing which is not directly related to their own personal sphere of existence, who only relate on a level which involves nobody beyond their own selves.
Took me a long time to learn, understand, and ACCEPT that fact.
Once I knew, it took (takes!) a LOT of Spiritual development to abstain from using this knowledge to my advantage. I struggle with the knowledge that we are all manipulative, and we are all manipulatable.
I understand that we can manipulate for the Final Good of the one we are manipulating (which is 'teaching') or we can manipulate for our Own End (which is self-serving).
Not everyone has the intelligence to ward off manipulative advances. It is up to each of Us to either ward off others' influences or to control our own manipulative urges.
It's a big ol' world out there.
It's more frightening to me to realize that, than it is to realize that we are all different in appearance.
Appearance means nothin -- NADA!
I have lived among other cultures and seen the beauty of those types of differences.
What frightens me is the unchecked bastardization of the Human Soul.
