Real question guys. How do I stop feeling like such a bihh. I’m a normal guy I can hang and have a good time but if someone gets mad at me my anxiety goes through the roof and I just wanna get out of the situation. I was with a group of friends tonight and I made a joke and a guy immediately responded and said that’s stupid af and just shut me down. I feel like I should’ve snapped back but I was so taken off guard I didn’t even know what to say and I just walked away. My natural instinct is always to shy away from confrontation but I always look back and regret not standing up for myself. My anxiety just goes through the roof in the moment. I grew up with a rough childhood. My parents were always screaming at each other and things got violent sometimes so I learned to run from conflict at a young age but now that I’m older I don’t want that instinct it to ruin the rest of my life I’m honestly not even that scared of a fight. If I got beat so be it I’ll heal, I just have a good career and I worry about getting arrested. Any advice to change this habit and learn to stand up for myself? submitted by /u/lizard_legs24
