Dealing with mental intimidation

The greatest spontaneous monologue in human history.

Tell them fighting is for the gays and you would love to fight him

You might just end up really happy together

 

[Axe720]

Remember that they're trying to convince themselves, not you.

 

[Killer Whale]

When people say things like, "you cant take me" or "you would cry fighting me" or whatever you can fill in the blank to use against you to take away your self belief in a potential fight. What's the best way of handling this?

does this person know how to fight? Like actually trained?

Fill the room with uppercuts... do you even sherdog brah?

You have to fight mental with mental

[Satur9]

Tell them "Oh yeah? Wanna get buck naked and wrestle in the closet?" Generally stops it all.

Seriously though, I walk away with a shrug. No ego. Don't care if you can anyway. Me and my 13 friends have much better ways of handling physical confrontations, if absolutely necessary.

This is an old strategy but it works.

You'd probably have to start with nickels now that pennies are being phased out

Not hanging around assholes. If you can't avoid this, you must be willing to go farther than the other guy and he has to know yoi are going to rip an ear off or take an eye out. The fight won't end until you say even if he puts you out. You get back up and punch him the back of the head. Whatever it takes. Get angry about having to get angry.

Happened to me once when I hit an erratic cyclist with my car.

Got the normal "I'm gonna knock your fucking teeth out" and "Your mother's a fat cunt."

Was tempted to take things further, but decided not to esculate.

Truth is, she shouldn't have been riding a bike at her age.

 

[LEWIS540]

Another time some older gent was drunk as fuck in a pub. I suggested he shouldn't drink any more, and shit hit the fan.

Again the usual "I fucked your mother last night" and "I'll knock you out, like I did your brother back in the day."

That was the last time I went out drinking with dad.

Truth, have this one guy twice my size and age berate me and push his dominance over me simply for the fact hes the "alpha."

Where ?

I got bullied on the bus to school for the majority of a year by just a few guys who were older. One day I snapped and threw a punch and it stopped.

Is what it is were grown up now.

i still don't like one of them. The other guy I feel sorry for, for some things that happened to him. Ended up punching the third guy who just bullied me a little, like joined them a bit sometimes. If there were no consequences possible I'd just would beat one of them up now for jokes, the one I don't like. I didn't see him in forever. Life is not a videodame though. Who knows maybe one day I'll be somewhere he is coincidentaly and he'll feel embarassed. My neighbour pulled out the story how I threw his brother when we were kids. That was horrible. I felt humiliated. Just for him bringing that up. I know how my brother would get beat in school and how that was not fun. Well he would beat people with words. And it could happen someone hit him phisically. Maybe it wasn't that much. Maybe it was. Kids used to bully each other depending on the school. Both in Germany and Herzegovina. I was in a school with 50% immigrants in Germany. And Herzegovina was war while we were kids. That being said it was "nice". But yeah not always. Sometimes actually sad. Growing up and adapting to your enviourment. Somebody gets abused at home and will abuse someone at school. Chain reaction.

Besides the guys who were 17 and I was like 14 or something like that. I didn't get bullied. They really humiliated me in front of everyone. One of them I get it, his dad got his life taken. Other guy is maybe just a asshole. Or maybe I was too soft and spoiled and needed some maning up discipline trough abuse.

Besides that I didn't get bullied. I fought friends / classmates with punches to the head. Never been bullied just that ine time for almost the whole year.

I mean my brother came to Germany at 6 so basically he went to school and had to learn the language from the start of school. He didn't have friends from school. I was his friend and my friends, we would roam around with my class click. I think he got bullied plenty, like telling mom to tell the teacher and the teacher said that he is instigating kids. It was a bit crazy. Like out my clique we were 5 friends as main group, one of us was Russian, his mom was raising him alone. He would get into school fights in primary school and whalop other kids with punches to the face as hard as he can. He did it to me too once. I had a hemathoma on my temple. Pforzheim in the 90ies. But it was fine if you look how it is in drug infested areas of America with guns. Nick Diaz saying his friends getting beat into comas. Balkan just play rough we don't stab or shoot each other.

So where is this happening to you, how old are you ?

Start masturbating

Solid advice

Actually my Italian neighbour would terrorise me ocassionaly while mom was at work. He was crazy. He also just punched my brother in the lip or nose for no reason for him to bleed. His dad said just punch him back. It was their house and we rented a apartment in their house, when we left cause of the war, first we were with family and also some block thing like 7th or 8th floor. We had a house but in Bosnia. I actually couldn't figure out how to properly lock the door. When I was alone the asshole would sneak in and tell me to stand on the table, don't move ect, I was horrified. Also some other shit I don't wanna talk about.

Since my brother got bullied a lot at school he is 3 years older. When mom was at work we would basically fight possibly everyday. But also hang out with my friends.

 

[Trabaho]

One last bullying story. My best friend, one of my 2 best friends, in Herzegovina. He confessed to me. His neighbour is his cousin and 3 years older. This is funny . Dude would literaly kidnap him and push him into his basement and beat and torture him . Like one time he busted his ear drum. Put insects on his face to crawl. But the funny part is he said once his grandma wanted to save him and he hit his grandma to bully him. He actualy also shot his other neighbour kid with a bird gun and the bullet is there to this day in his leg. We still all hang out. I mean they got some issues over something else I won't talk about that. His cousin would even throw spoiled eggs at his house. And yeah the bullying stopped when he stood up to him and they exchanged punches. He says his front teeth are bent backwards because of that. But he defeated him. No more bullying. I mean it's teenagers and kids at the end of the day. But it can feel bad when you are young cause you have to learn the mental capacities to deal with all of that.

Only Iron Mike could get away with a latently homosexual tirade like that. These days, the cancelling would be real.

 

[SirRealKiller]

I haven't had that happen too many times. Where I come from that is basically asking you to fight. Most people are smart and don't want to fight so don't say that.

Now I grew up in a small town but when I moved to the cities in my early 20's People threw that out there a lot more. In those cases I just say, "You think so, huh?" and they might say "Yeah" or something like that and I'm just like "OK big dog, settle down".

Sounded like he's not only an ally, but a participant. Maybe they'd be ok with it
