Are you intimated by lifted pickup trucks?

I drive a lifted truck for work. I don't do it because I want to be cool, it's functional. Need the height and ground clearance to drive on job sites to get to heavy equipment to fuel them or repair them if they break down. Its not a huge lift or tires, just a 4 inch lift with 34" offroad tires (not much bigger than stock). I've noticed people get nervous when I'm driving towards them on side streets or narrow roads. They pull over to the side when there's more than enough room for the both of us. In parking lots people give me the right of away or they just freeze and don't know what to do. If I'm stopped at a 4 way stop and someone is making a left or right turn towards me, they will wave me to go first. They don't think they have enough room to get around me. Are you intimidated by trucks? I only use this truck for work. My personality vehicle is a ford escape where I never have this issue with other drivers.
