You can’t. Except in very rare cases, emotional intimidation is always obvious and won’t have the desired effect you are looking for. More often than not it will cause people to rebel against you and resist your orders even more than before. The best way to gain control over someone is with respect, trust and a mutual understanding of each other's needs.

Using nonverbal cues like eye contact and body language to create a psychological sense of dominance can help you establish emotional intimidation without the other person being aware. An additional technique is to use language that conveys self-assurance, such as using declarative sentences and making direct, assertive requests. When people are put in a situation where they know that their orders will be followed without question, this can lead to them feeling afraid or overwhelmed which can increase the likelihood of them following through with your requests.
