You may be referring to "intimidating." This is a word that means scary or threatening or something that makes you feel uncomfortable. When something is intimidating, it makes a person feel overwhelmed or feel that they don't know how to deal with it. While such feelings are understandable in a new situation (you might feel intimidated by a very strict professor, or a by a difficult course at school), they are usually temporary; most people gradually gain confidence as they become more familiar with the situation, and they develop ways to cope with whatever seemed scary at first.
