Walking away is only a sign of weakness if you continue to let people walk all over you and bully you with their words or otherwise.
Sometimes walking away is the most mature thing you can do, and it shows the person that you're better than they are.
Other times, you need to stand up for yourself and show people that you're not their doormat and won't tolerate being disrespected.
I have a habit of standing up for myself rather aggressively, mostly with words, nomatter what the situation is. I am more than capable of taking constructive critisism, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it from everybody.
I'm not on the X factor, and I don't want to be told by others how I can better myself. I'm an adult, and I will better myself if I see fit.
I like to try and leave the situation by walking away or saying nothing when I know the particular person would get really frustrated if I don't react, though. Sometimes its satisfying to see someone who tried to get under your skin, get really annoyed that it didn't work.
Either way I think you need to assess each situation as it comes and decide for yourself what the better thing to do is. There is no right or wrong way to deal with it really, aslong as you don't get walked all over.
What's better? A girl who stands up or who walks away
