15 Signs You’re a Strong Woman Who Intimidates Others
Do you ever meet a woman who oozes confidence and part of you is either slightly jealous or intimidated by her? Strong women are a force to be reckoned with. Are you a strong woman? Do you know what it takes to become one?
Many strong women have gone through a lot of trials, heartbreak, and devastation to get where they are today. Others were raised that way. However they got there, here are 15 signs of a strong woman who intimidates others.
She Has No Problem Saying NO
She has no problems saying NO to toxic people, and saying NO to invitations, among other things. No no no!! So many people will say yes just to please others but not this girl. She’s done being a people pleaser. She did all that all her life, and now she’s saying YES to herself and NO to others. And she does so unapologetically.
She Encourages Other Women
She’s not in high school anymore and isn’t interested in competing against other women. She hopes we all succeed. She will do what she can to help other women achieve their hopes and dreams. The strong woman is encouraging and empowering and is happy to set an example for other women to follow.
She’s Ok With Being Alone
She loves her own company and doesn’t feel lonely when she’s alone. While she sometimes wishes she had a lifelong partner, she’s okay with being alone and won’t sacrifice her morals or values OR her self-worth to be with a man.
She’s sacrificed herself for years so she wouldn’t be alone, but she’s not that woman anymore.
She’s a Solo Traveler
Let’s face it, traveling solo can be pretty scary and intimidating, but once you get over the fear of doing it, you become liberated. One of the signs you’re a strong woman is that you can bravely travel solo and not need anyone to keep you safe. Being solo won’t stop her from heading out on an adventure somewhere, anywhere in the world!
She Doesn’t Care What People Think of Her
She could not care less if people don’t like the way she dresses, talks, wears her hair, how many tattoos she has, or whatever. She just doesn’t care at all. The strong woman lives her life to please herself, not other people. At the end of the day, if she was a good person, did something nice for someone and did something that brought her joy, that’s all that matters. Not what people think of her.
She Remains Calm in Stressful Situations
Life isn’t always rainbows, lollipops, and unicorns. Sometimes it can be super stressful, and life has a habit of throwing some serious things at us. The strong woman will take a step back from a situation and analyze it before flying off the ledge. She knows that everything is temporary, the good and the bad, and there’s a solution to every problem.
Takes Time For Self Improvement
The strong woman has taken the time to work on her inner child and the demons from her past so that she can move forward in life, in all her relationships, in a healthy way. She understands that until we heal, we will continue to bleed all over those who didn’t cut us. Healing is important to her mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.
She’ll Tell It Like It Is
She’ll Ask For Help
The strong woman understands that she can’t do everything herself and sometimes you need to shout out for help and she has no problem doing that. She loves asking people for help not only because it helps her but it gives other people a chance to help. And people really do love helping!
She Doesn’t Put Up With Other People’s Crap
She will walk away from toxic people because she simply doesn’t have time for their crap. The strong woman will also stand up to bullies or negative people who are trying to bring others down. She won’t tolerate that and is happy to be the voice for the shy, weak or timid people. She won’t stand for that bulls*it.
She Has No Time For Gossip or Drama
This is high school stuff. She has no time to listen to gossip or engage in drama. Life is too short for such toxic and negative energy. She’ll walk away or change the subject if gossip comes up.
She Sets Boundaries
She will not let people walk all over her and treat her like a doormat. She knows the value and importance of having boundaries with people. She respects herself enough to have solid boundary lines and not let people cross them.
She Always Looks For the Good in People and Situations
There is good and bad in everything and everyone. The strong woman takes the time to always look for the good, no matter what. She realizes that if you only focus on the bad, more bad will appear.
She Takes Care of Herself Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually
Her mental and physical health are of the utmost importance to her, and she knows that if she doesn’t take care of herself, she will be no good to herself or others. She takes time for her mental health and well-being and has a workout routine that she follows faithfully.
She Faces Fear and Challenges Bravely
A strong woman knows life isn’t always easy or perfect. Obstacles show up, uncomfortable things need to be faced and done. And she faces these fears, knocks down walls, and helps others along the way too. She knows that in order to move ahead, you have to scrape your knees a bit along the way.
