A member asked:
Why do some people automatically feel intimidated or fear other people who are taller and stronger looking than them? how can people overcome this?

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
