Stare at Their Forehead

In certain situations, you may need to come across as more intimidating, whether it’s during a negotiation or a tense discussion. One way to do this without raising your voice is to stare at the other person’s forehead instead of making direct eye contact.

This subtle shift in your gaze can make them feel uncomfortable and give the impression that you’re looking down on them, even if you’re not physically doing so. It’s a useful trick but use it sparingly, as it can make you seem overly aggressive.
