Intimidation is the use of fear or threats to manipulate or coerce someone. It is a form of psychological abuse that is often used to gain power and control over another person. Intimidation can take many different forms, such as physical threats, verbal abuse, or gestures designed to make someone feel threatened or afraid. It can also involve using someone’s personal information or belongings against them, or threatening to harm them or their loved ones. Intimidation is a serious problem that can have long-term negative effects on the victim, including anxiety, depression, and feelings of helplessness.
