ExplosionMare 18,062 January 15, 2020 Share January 15, 2020 They think it gives them an easy sense of authority and power. That or they just don’t like themselves and don’t want to be liked in return. 1 Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,440 January 15, 2020 Share January 15, 2020 When the people fear a person, there is tyranny.

TBD 17,254 January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 I don’t know about you guys beside the obvious answers but then you would understand. People sees this as a negative thing, but there's also a positive side to it. From what I learned though experiences, sometime it best to give asshole what they asks for. I'm not talking about revenge, I'm talking about "not taking bull" from anyone. Give them 'fear' and maybe then they'll learn some little respect. ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Sunsets 2,106 January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 Because some people like to have power over others. I'll never understand why some people like that, but they do.

Cash In 22,313 January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 While fear can often be seen as a bad thing, I feel that in certain ways it can be used for better purposes. It can be used as a way of letting people know that they shouldn't mess with you, especially if they've done so before. At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Cloud 17,976 January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 (edited) Some people want to be feared to be left along, some use fear as a means to maintain power over others and some like being feared because it makes them feel important and plays to their ego. Using fear and intimidation to get your own way isn't good and won't work out in the end though as eventually people start to lose their fear.

Buzz 1,769 March 15, 2020 Share March 15, 2020 Throwing my hat into the ring, but it's not always bad wanting to be feared. When we hear that phrase we immediately think back to times of oppression or people who we know who use their strengths to force people into submitting to their desires, However that's not always the case. I can say from personal experience that fear can be used to stop terrible things from happening to you or people you care about. Fear can be used in beneficial ways and we should actual try and understand why people want to be feared so we can fix the issues that cause them to be so, if there is an issue there in the first place. 1 "Whats wrong with being different, sometimes standing out from the crowd is a good thing.

Dreambiscuit 9,691 March 16, 2020 Share March 16, 2020 It’s a character flaw. It’s one thing to want to be in control rather than be someone else who is being controlled, but fear isn’t the answer. A person can stand their ground without having to trample over anyone else. I would hate to be feared by anyone. The thought of it makes me feel sick and useless. True power is being accessible and appreciated rather than feared and hated. And to be feared goes hand-in-hand with being hated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
