Recently, I've been battling some depression about some times when I didn't stand up for myself when being bullied and being insulted in my school years. I have fought back before at times when I wouldn't get in trouble. It seemed like when I did fight back in school in a class, I would always get in trouble for it and the bully would be seen as the victim. The bad times when I didn't are popping up when I'm in a rut with my job and life.
Are you always a wuss for not fighting back or it is worth it to give someone a good old fashioned fist to the face? I don't really talk about it with family or even my counselor because all I hear is "get over it, it's over". I've just never really learned to handle it or let it go.
It just seems people are in a no-win scenario when they stand up for themselves. I have become assertive through books like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and with family members who don't realize they are pestering me with decisions. I did tell an acquaintance to stop bashing DC Films because they're weren't the quality of Marvel's films (I heard it constantly on social media) and they got defensive.
Have any red-pillers been through this before? How have you handled it?
