Okay so this is something that i always had and that has ALWAYS bothered me but i eventually tend to play down and not think about. Well ever since i can remember I had this thing where if someone out in PUBLIC confronts me or pressures me (not do to something) like disrespects me or jokes around too harsh I only react if im sure that in case an alteration happens I would easily overpower the other person. If I even have the doubt that I wont be able to overpower the other person i usually shrug it off or try to divert the situation. Well its not that its a bad action in itself but sometimes your tired of this bullshit. Some background about myself. Im 18 years old, im 5’11 and i weigh 65KG (for americans its 143 pounds) so im tall kind of but also skinny. Now some extra’s about me and this is the interesting part. I had 2 years experience doing Karate, 5 months training boxing and 1 year of gym training. My physique despite being very lean is also athletic and apart my stamina being bad im not weak for my weight and i do have some muscle on. one instance that happened to me was last summer I went to the beach with my friend and as we were just chatting these 2 guys that are friends of My friend show up. They mumble something and then they acknowledge my presence. One of them says “and who is this dickhead?” To my friend. Yk what i did. I just laughed it off. This guy was also similar to me physique wise and everything. Something that happened last month was, I was at this Calvin Harris concert and one my friends friend said something disrespectful about me and I could tell and I just didnt do anything. I feel like my main issue is that Im scared that every confrontation will lead to a fight and if I lose the fight I’ll get humiliated. Despite my martial arts training im still not confident in my fighting abilities. Maybe some more boxing would help. Also i wear glasses cause of my eyesight and I dont look like a geek with them but i read somewhere that if you have glasses on your perceived as an easier guy to pick on. submitted by /u/SkibidiiiRizzlerz
