It is therapeutic to meet these people who have intimidated you. And to discover what they are really like. Then the intimidation goes.
Meeting individuals who once seemed intimidating can be a healing experience. Engaging with them allows you to see past your fears and assumptions, leading to a deeper understanding of their true nature. This process can diminish the feelings of intimidation and anxiety that may have previously surrounded these encounters.
In Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle," this idea emphasizes the benefits of confronting one's fears. By discovering the humanity in those who intimidate us, we can foster connections and reduce the barriers created by misunderstanding and preconceived notions. This journey towards understanding is not only liberating but also transformative.
