🗒️ If someone does at least three of these things around you, they're most likely intimidated by your confident personality granted by Allah the Almighty:
1] On a regular basis they feel too terrified to contact and approach you directly. If ever they need to ask you a question or inform you about something, they request somebody else to do that on their behalf.
2] They generally can't make proper eye contact with you and smiling genuinely is too difficult for them to do in your presence.
3] In most instances whenever they're about to cross paths with you, they instantly turn around and take a different route because they are too scared to have any interaction with you.
4] Through observing their overall behavior and mannerisms, particularly when you're around, you can describe them as "disrespectful", "rude", "agitated", "insecure" or "uncooperative".
5] A lot of them quickly depart from any online group conversation (group chat) which you add them to without explaining to you the reason for their fleeing.
6] When talking to them, you can really tell how nervous they are and admit that most of their responses with you are very brief and terse or vague and ambiguous.
7] They have the silly audacity to cowardly criticize you behind your back yet when you confront them about their infantile acts and despicable gossiping, they're too afraid to say anything.
✅ What to do when it's confirmed that those individuals find your confidence "intimidating":
1. Never doubt your self-worth and abilities all blessed by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.
2. Don't feel compelled to modify your attitude just to become more "approachable" or "likable" to them. As long as you intend to do something only to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala while you're not oppressing anybody on purpose, the opinions of Allah's servants shouldn't negatively affect your life choices.
3. Focus on pleasing Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala while appreciating the special few souls whom Allah the Most Wise chose and destined to truly connect with you.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and knowingly committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil.
By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: 'Allah has decreed what He wills.' Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
