I can be the unblinking listener, but rarely the Intimidator. I just like looking at someone when they are speaking and I also like to look at someone in the eyes when I am speaking to them. It shows that you are paying attention to them either way. I am not intimidating at all.

awww, adorable, is that a pic of you? I think we have one mouth and two ears for a reason …b/c we should listen more than we speak. 😉
Thank you, yes, that is me. You are so right, listening is so much more powerful than simply speaking.
