Anya Taylor-Joy has ‘no chill’, says her passionate nature can be ‘frightening’ for some

Los Angeles, May 23 (IANS) Actress Anya Taylor-Joy revealed she was bullied at school and grew up feeling she was "wrong", which she believes is because her intensity and passion can be "frightening" for some people."The message I was getting at school was that everything about me was wrong. I think the way that I looked played into it, and then the extremes of my personality definitely played into it, she told Britain's GQ magazine's Heroes issue."If I loved something, I loved something. I have no chill in any regard, and that can be frightening for people, I guess.The actress learned to "bury" herself as a defence mechanism in response to the bullying she faced.“As a survival mechanism, you learn to be self-effacing and self-deprecating. You bury yourself before anybody else does, she said.“What I’m coming to understand is: as long as you’re not causing anyone else harm, you have to stand your ground.The 28-year-old actress has developed a "reputation for fighting for feminine rage," reports femalefirst.co.uk.“How do I say this? I’ve developed a bit of a reputation for fighting for feminine rage, which is a strange thing because I’m not promoting violence -- but I am promoting women being seen as people. We have reactions that are not always dainty or unmessy, she said.--IANSdc/prw
