IntimidatOR vs. IntimidatED

I was going to make this about jealousy vs. envy but I decided that both these themes fall along the same path and get the point across.

When you walk into a room filled with unfamiliar faces, are you smiling, are people glaring at you, is your head down like a sad puppy, or are people welcoming you?

IntimidatED -Generally, the IntimidatED are the ones without confidence or at the moment the confidence does not present itself. They are the ones staring, commenting, or just speachless.They will find ways to bring the intimdatOR down or they will eventually find that the intimidatOR rarely lets immature things like that effect them, and normally began to suck up and befriend the higher power. Intimidated does not mean you are a lessor person or that in fact you are equal and could be above. It is all about how you handle yourself and how people percieve you. You are in charge of this. Lacking the knowledge you did not know before I just presented it in front of your eyes, I am assuming you fall under this category. We intimidatEES can smell you EDs from miles away. You are not envious but hold the more jealousy quality to your name. You hate that you feel this way. Hate is the word of jealousy, and people over use the word jealous everywhere. PEOPLE! Envy is the word you are looking for. Envy is for someone or something you love, that you are happy for, envy is loving and passionate. Jealous just screams the words hate and distasteful. The intimidatED have a jealous feeling. I have been intimidated a few times by some worthy of it, but I never really found myself in this kind of position of an intimidatED. There is a fine line between the two.

IntimidatOR - IntimidatORs are rarely the kind to put down, to point out others flaws before ours and are only here for their own entertainment....sometimes. They tend to laugh extremely loud, fight with ice, and know when to stay out of it. IntimidatORs walk in a room with a big smile on their face and have no problem socializing with anyone. Also they tend to not really give a shit about people surrounding them and their thoughts about oneself. As much as I don't want to say this... they are very selfish, and or selfless. Intimidators do not waste their time on the bad things, and if they do it is generally for a friend and comfort. They are always helping others and making a difference, this difference may not always be a positive one but they are still leading, and to be a leader is the strongest quality an intimidatOR has.Noticed I haven't mentioned much about the intimidatED, this is because intimidatORs do not focus on them as much as the Eds do on them. No, not because they do not care, but because they do not see themselves above them. Yes, they know they are better people but they do not make that obvious. It isn't their goal. Their goal is to focus on themselves and discover ways on bettering themselves. Their weakness is being strong. They are more likely to make friends then shake them.

I see myself as an intimidatOR. I have been intimidated before but do not fall under the definition. I envy everyone above me and am hopeful from all the ones below, I do not think I am equal because there is only one of me. I tend to be stronger more than weak, and I know my flavor tastes good because people want more. Just because I and other intimidatORs are who we are does not mean we are bitches, stuck up, or unapproachable. Sometimes we may seem like that but that is because the intimidatED are quick to judge and do not take the time to make themselves one of us.

So what are you? IntimidatED or IntimidatOR?
