How do I seem more intimidating/tough to my enemies (to protect myself)?!


Question: How do I seem more intimidating/tough to my enemies (to protect myself)?
Ok, so there was some big huge dramatic thing (if you see my other questions you'll understand) and it's really got me down and the whole school is gossiping about me. I have almost no self-esteem now and barely anyone in my school has any respect for me. So, basically I've let myself get walked all over. People randomly come up to me and scream at me.
So, what I need to know is how I can is how to seem more tough and intimidating so people will leave me alone? Like, what do I say when they come up to me, what should I wear, what should my voice sound like, what should my face expression be?

Don't try to act tough, don't spend days thinking of clever things to say, I'm in high school and most people assume I'm a p*ssy because of my looks (I probably am), but even when the tough kids try to mess with me I just don't take them seriously and kind of think it's funny, don't laugh though, just think of them as below you, think of them as pathetic little kids. When I do this they get confused and don't know what to do, I'm also kind of a loner and nobody really knows me so they are a little cautious when they find out I don't consider them a threat



Confidence is key. If you show confidence in yourself and a lack of fearing then people will realize how strong and fearless you really are.

Build up self-confidence. Be happy with yourself, who you are, what you wear, etc. If someone comes up to you screaming either A.) ignore them completely. Don't even seem phased by it. or B.) I would personally scream back, but that is just me. Showing that you won't allow others to push you around and standing up for yourself shows confidence.

People like to nit-pick at those that seem weaker with low self-esteem. It makes them feel bigger, better, and stronger. It sets up a hierarchy among themselves and others so...learn to be happy with yourself. Discovering that you are one awesome unique person with an awesome hairstyle and cool outfits on this world is a great start. :)
