Don't let me intimidate you
Let us say I and John have gone swimming together and I see that John swims much better than me.
I say to John: 'You are really good.'
John says: 'Don't let me intimidate you. Do whatever you do. That is good enough'
What John means is:
Don't be intimidated by my performance.
Don't let my performance intimidate you.
Does the underlined sentence work in this context?
John has no intention of intimidating me.
Gratefully,
Navi.
