Hey /adv/, I got beaten once by some gang fucks, and now every time I see someone that reminds me one of them I feel fear coming from within
I had fights in high school but none caused me any kind of trauma, so why this time I got ptsd'ed? and the fact is, I'm not afraid getting hurt, I'm terrified of looking like a pushover bitch. how do I resolve this?
Formal martial art training.

>got beaten
>don't want to look like a pushover
>knowing how to throw a punch or toss a cunt over a hip is useless
The fuck.

This.
Even someone with 1 month of experience has a bigger chance of beating some random fag in the street.

Perfectly sane and rational response. It will fade with time. If it doesn't, some short-term counseling aimed specifically at getting over this will help.

Worst advice I've read today. If you pull out a knife and your attacker has a gun, you're fucked.
If you pull out a gun and your attacker has a bigger gun, you're fucked.

Ahhhhh but who shot first?
>>18070141
I hate to be that guy, but that's not true. Most ghetto mother fuckers can't shoot for shit. If you pull out a .38 and he pulls out a .45 and you can actually kind of shoot you're going to be in much better shape than he is.

You really don't understand how guns work, do you? You think that a bigger gun gives you immunity to the other guns bullets or something? If they have a bigger gun, and you have a gun, if they don't want to die they'll back off.

that's unlikely. i've done martial arts all my life (25 years++) beeing a trainer for a decade now.
it helps gorwing some self esteem, which might be just what op is looking for...

Well idk how much this helps, but about a year ago I got ambushed from behind and mugged by some fuck head while I was alone and hammered drunk. I've been in fights my whole life too. You just have to move past it. Honestly, you won't look like a pushover bitch. If it was a gang of guys, there was only so much you could do.

Buy a gun with hollow points
live in a stand your ground state
or seek revenge on the gang fucks and tie them up and set them on fire.

>If you pull out a gun and your attacker has a bigger gun, you're fucked.
Gotta admit, that is probably the most retarded thing I've read today. I suppose you're gonna tell me barrel sheaths increase thrust per minute or some retarded Tumblr tier crap like that.

Remove your fear of death. Get a dangerous job where you put your life at risk everyday or partake in dangerous activities. You need to destroy your own ego completely.

Okay, yes, that was a stupid post, but he's right that pulling out a gun can often escalate an already-dangerous situation, and put you in more danger if you're not sure what you're doing. I'm not really pro-gun control at all but if you're going to carry a dangerous weapon you need to do your homework and know how and more importantly WHEN to use it.
You only ever pull out your gun when (1) it's a life-or-death situation and you're pretty damn sure SOMEBODY is going to die, and (2) running away isn't the better option. Situations like that are relatively rare. Carrying a gun and using it the way wannabe macho fucks on here suggest is a great way to get yourself killed or into serious, serious legal trouble.

That sounds crazy, but I bet it would work 100%

Haha .. might be true that you shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight.. however the caliber of a gun doesn't turn the user immune to a smaller caliber. The one that gets hit goes down so the better shooter wins. Simple as that. Further, hitting a target with a handgun takes practise .. nothing like in the movies.
