What is it .....

That makes me less afraid to confront scary people than most others?

Maybe it is because I have already confronted scary people. I confronted a drunk abusive grown man when i was in middle school. It was a scary man who I lived with every day.

It is because I recognized he was actually afraid of me. I was a problem. I didn't cowar, I told him off and mocked him.

This is probably not exactly the safety others think of. When i think of safety i think of having to keep myself safe by fighting the bad guy...not by hiding.


Watched a video of a woman try to plow down another woman in a parking lot. Two women in a shop ran out. One with her phone up ...ran directly toward the perp. The perp was walking slowly from the vehicle.

The comment section is full of people "why is she confronting that woman? Stay inside!"

And me: "Nah...go get her!"

Woah. While I can respect fearlessness from a distance, I admit it’s not me. I’m always weighing whether or not confrontation will save a life—or cost me mine. Real talk, now.

@bijouxbroussard It is not something I should be proud of. There are moments to hide and real moments to fight..but sometimes I do think my perspective, on this respect, is a bit skewed. Your words are wise.
I had to learn to fight very very young to survive, i understand this. Except I have always been the one standing away from everyone, part of my protection. Not wanting to be seen. But the first to run straight in if someone being hurt. I tackled and punched a guy in the face repeatedly while sitting on his chest. Because he was screaming at my 16 year old sister then he hit her. My reaction was reflex. Same with in a bar, couple women had one cornered against a wall hitting her. I went in and grabbed me one. Without thinking.

Wanted to give you the thumbs up emoji as a sign of approval and encouragement. Them I remembered your feelings about it. And I’m scared of you.

@Harmonium1923 I think you made a sound decision, here. Very sound. 🤣😅
A strong sense of what is right can push fear aside in the moment.
