35 People Who Were Trying To Be Intimidating But In Reality They Were Really Just Embarrassing Themselves
Trying to be tough, huh? Swing and a miss.
There are certainly many things in life that we feel we must prove we are good enough at, but sometimes, we also need to recognize the boundaries of when we should or should not do so. We tend to be blinded by the need to make a good impression on others, and sometimes, it reaches a point where we believe we can stubbornly endure or survive something, but in reality, we actually can't.
Some people just need to understand that they do not have to prove themselves all the time because once it gets out of hand, it can be truly embarrassing. And sometimes, you may find yourself too deep into a situation, with no way around it but to cling to your pride.
Whenever you hear someone say, "I can survive that," "I'm not scared of that thing," or any other deflective statements, chances are they are only saying that to try to fool themselves. There is always a greater likelihood that it is all just a facade.
This is not to discredit those who actually make it through certain challenges, but most of the time, there are always instances of people who try to appear tough and act all intimidating, but in the end, they just end up embarrassing themselves.
