I am a pussy, i avoid confrontation and have never responded

How common is this? I mean, that's not normal, to be insulted everyday. Is it always the same person?

Mention the first thing they could be insecure about. Big nose? acne? small eyes? ugly? fat? high pitched voice? smell weird? a woman?

after a while you'll be able to figure out what you would come back with at a person before they even say something to you

Its not every day, two things have happened within the last month and i overthink this shit and cant drop things.
The first was a girl having a go at me for riding on the pavement, i went up onto it for 20 seconds to let cars pass, she turned the corner and as slow as i was going she never looked up and walked into me, she got mad that i was on the pavement, i just rode off and felt i should have at least toldnher to chill the fuck out.

Then today at work a guy i had never seen before, i got in his way it was hardly an issue yet as i walked off he mumbled "i should fucking kick you in the face for that" hes tone was pretty serious and i pretended not to hear, yet moments later i knew i should have asked him to speak up, he would hsve either kicked my ass and got fired over literally nothing, or would have pussied out and i wont feel like such a wimp now.

If you hurt your enemies they win. Do what Atticus Finch would do.

Every person you meet has a storm raging nside of them, same as you. Sometimes you feel good and sometimes you feel bad. When you are in a bad place, and something bothers you, you react. Sometimes, like you, people keep it inside and it eats at them. SOmetimes, like the two people you met, they lash out to a complete stranger.

Remember, it's not about you. It's about the storm inside of them. You were just there. Don't take it personal.

>>18306256
Should I really just allow people to release this storm within them on me? I guess i know its not personal, but it just feels so wrong and disrespectful to myself to pretend it never happened.

>>18306273

You'll never see them again. But you are letting it affect you even now. Insulting back won't make you feel better. It won't stop another stranger from doing the same. And it won't change what already happened.

What can you do to stop a complete stranger from doing this? That hapens to everyone all the time on the street. Don't worry, ignore it andm ove on.

>>18306279
Can i ask what you would have done in the situation?

>>18306282

That happened to me last week. They even crashed into me with a bike. I walked away limping and cursing them. By the next day, I had already forgotten about it. This conversation brought it up for me, but I'm not mad anymore.

>>18306295
Any chance you are not mad because you cursed at them? I guess in that instance you seem in the right as they hit you.
I guess i just feel like a pussy for leaving these situations knowing they got away with treating me like dirt, they may not remember, and saying something wont do much, butnat least il feel i stood my ground.

>>18306306

Sorry, I thought that was clear. I was cursing when I walked away. Not at them. Not tje their face, at least. I was waiting to cross the street and I did that ehile they yelled and biked away. I'm not gonna get in a fight like that, I had places to be.

>>18306315
Well thanks for your input anon, i guess il still feel like a coward at the time when i cant bring myself to do anything, yet il keep in mind what youve said to at least try not to overthink what happened weeks later.

>>18306329

That's point. You'll get mad at the moment, that's fine. It's a reaction. But it shouldn't last past a day or two. You gotta move on from those feelings.

>>18306232
I know the feeling but never play their game, especially if you can't win.

>>18306232
Just tell them to fock off mate.

>>18306232
Stand up for yourself. Even if it goes terribly, there's no way you'll feel as bad as you do now from just sitting there and taking it.

>>18306251
Not OP, but can you explain further? I forgot what happens in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The general rule is you do somebody exactly how they've done you. Also the world is nasty and if you don't take up for yourself eventually everyone will shit on you in some shape form or fashion.
