It can be used to achieve a variety of goals, such as gaining control over someone, getting them to do something they are afraid of, or simply making them feel bad about themselves.
Intimidation can take many different forms, from verbal threats to physical violence. It can be used by individuals or groups, and it can be directed at anyone, regardless of their age, gender, or social status.
