Dangerous people can be hard to deal with. Respect, distance and body language can both deter the person, and keep you safe.

Steps

  1. Make note of why they seem dangerous to you. Address each situation accordingly.
  2. Body language should show calm, comfortable distance. If you are concerned with your body language, subtly copy their posture.
  3. Make confident eye contact.
  4. Keep conversations short and casual.
  5. If they use their height/muscle to intimidate you, lean back slightly (instead of looking up) with a sturdy stance. This gives the illusion of height, and is a confident posture.
  6. Speak calmly and respectfully. Subtly deepen your voice.
  7. If they start to show anger/creepiness remain confident and break off the conversation.
  8. Treat them as though they will behave well above your first impression. Often people will rise to the occasion on their own.

Tips

  • If you have an illogical prejudice against them, try to diminish your negative feelings. Treat them like you would anyone else until you know them as an individual.
  • Remember that even weak people can be intimidating when need be. Use body language to your advantage. When you feel dangerous, you look dangerous.
  • If they have a history of violence or have threatened you, avoid contact with them, never be in a room alone with them, stay sober around them, and let others know of your concerns.
  • If you have a 'gut instinct' question its validity, but do not ignore it. Be careful and use good judgement.

Warnings

  • Primarily, keep yourself safe. If you seriously consider yourself in danger, do not worry about being polite.
