People feared you for your acuity; no one likes to be rightfully called a liar.

…my grace and agility had a way of stunning onlookers into silence.
…my mind had an acuity that many found intimidating.
…my charm could persuade anyone to take my side in arguments.
…my stubbornness was remarked upon roundly by everyone in my family.
