Handshake, Type-6

When someone feels 'forbidding,' it's like they're holding up a mental hand, telling you to back off or read the room before stepping in. It's not just their face , it's their whole vibe, like they’re waiting for you to prove you belong.

In work settings, people use 'forbidding' to describe bosses who set high standards but don’t explain them much. You learn by doing, and if you mess up, you’re on your own to fix it. It’s about respect , earned, not given.

On social media, a 'forbidding' post is the kind that feels like a challenge. You see it in comments too , a quiet way of saying, 'I don’t agree, and I expect you to notice.' It’s not confrontation, but it’s not passive either.

In relationships, being 'forbidding' can create a kind of dance. One person holds back, the other tries to get closer, but neither says it out loud. It becomes this unspoken game of push and pull, where the rules are only understood by those playing.

For older generations, 'forbidding' is a mark of respect , they didn’t grow up thinking they had to explain everything to everyone. Younger people, used to being asked for their opinion all the time, might read it as a lack of trust, even if it’s just tradition.
