What's better? A girl who stands up or who walks away

  • What's best is a girl who knows how to pick her battles.

    I've been fucked with plenty of times in my life and a few of those times, I did resort to violence. I did so when I believed that it was necessary to be taken seriously. One sword drawn keeps the other sword sheathed. Looking back, I know I could have avoided a lot of that conflict but I chose to prove my worth through aggression.

    The trick is learning how to handle conflict effectively, something that I don't believe I will ever fully master. If I'm getting fucked with and I do not believe that my standing up for myself will make matters any better, then I'll let it go unless it is a continuing event.

    Every little thing is not worth wasting the effort with and at the end of the day, I do not want people to hate or fear me. Inn most situations, if at all possible, I try to express myself in a manner to give them the impression that I care about what they have to say and that I see them as sane and intelligent people. I do this at work on a fairly regular basis. Most people aren't used to being given a chance to express their opinion and you'll find that they are easily taken off guard if they start to blow up on someone and that someone cares about what they are saying.

    Haha, I had to edit this to throw in this example. I reconnected with a buddy from the 5th grade and she told me that she was originally my bully. She said that up until High School, she was the school bully. She was a big girl (she has since lost the weight and is smokin' hot by the way) so she said she was used to people not fighting back. She said that we became friends by her bullying me and my shit-talking her back. She said that it took her off guard and she eventually developed a respect for me for not taking her shit and that we eventually became friends.

    So sometimes maybe you do wanna shit talk 'em haha.
