Hey all 30m here just for reference 6,3 265 I’m a big guy. But all my life I’ve just been terrified of fighting, I feel like I freeze start shaking. And I just replay the thought of fighting until I give myself anxiety. Ive gotten in two fights that last 5-10 seconds. But for the most part my size and ability to talk myself out of situations as got me through Recently my apartment neighbor and I got into a argument about noise and he said we could go handle it like men, and instantly I felt that freeze he’s not bigger than me but he just seemed more confident said he liked to fight. At the end of the day we talked it out and even had a beer after and he apologized but days later I still feel like a wimp for not handling it like a man and fighting. I like to think I didn’t fight because my baby was in the house I’m the sole provider but at the end of the day I was just scared. Because of this whole incident that next day I started taking kickboxing classes going again tonight. Which is helping me face my fears a bit. I want to be able to protect my family and not freeze if there’s a worse situation where I have to protect them or me any suggestions would be appreciated submitted by /u/Opposite_Device_7328
