Obviously as a man I need to have skills and courage to defend myself or my loved ones. But fear takes over me and leads me to avoid any situation or place where there’s a potential confrontation or anything, and i even get so afraid when arguing with someone by words, ending up agreeing or idk just so it doesn’t get physical. Tried martial arts but it doesn’t stop that fear since i know martial arts training is controlled with much less risks anyway. Advice ? submitted by /u/No-Caterpillar-9990
