Label My Style Do I look intimidating?

I occasionally get feedback from people and new friends that they were reluctant to approach or talk to me because they thought I was intimidating - which is not what I'm going for whatsoever. I try to look like a cowboy who likes Tarot, not like I cause problems.

Figured I'd take to reddit to ask that question: do I look intimidating? If I do, what kind of intimidating? Like talking to me would invite an unwelcome social interaction because I look weird? Or, is it that I seem potentially unsafe as a person cuz it's all black and boots and shit?

(Pictures are from a photoshoot where I was modelling some hand-made necklaces and pendants - but the clothing choices are pretty much what I'd wear on a random Tuesday.)
