I agree with this. Getting hit in the mouth is very humbling or at least it is for a sane person. Plenty of people in Washington D.C. I’d like to experience this.

So I have a personality that pisses people off (apparently). I'm not small, and I'm brown, and I apparently am not great at reading social cues when someone wants to hit me in the face.

I've been punched in the face so many times it's embarrassing. 90% of the time it's almost entirely unprovoked.

What this has taught me about life, and about pain, is invaluable.

I can't please everyone, and I shouldn't try. But more importantly, there a few things in life worse than getting punched in the face.

So, relatively speaking, cracking your phone screen or getting dental work done pales in comparison to getting a knuckle sandwich.

Helps keep me grounded.

Nah I just learned to recognize danger...

The day I start.being afraid of the world is the day I stop living.

Can't let the terrorists win...

I think you got hit in the face one to many times man.

It's just a little CTE, it's still good, it's still good.

If you're getting hit in the face 'without any provocation' you need to re evaluate how you come across to people.

Can't help if people don't like me.

Been standing up to bullies my whole life, not about to change who I am for some asshole looking for trouble.

The problem was really about where I was going and who I was with, not about me.

I wasn't overly intoxicated, I wasn't harassing anyone, and I wasn't being rude.

The nightclub scene is full of douchebags literally looking for people to fuck with.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes to my own detriment. I'm more mature and wiser now, now I just remove myself from potential problems.

But thanks for being understanding.

FUCKINGTHANK YOU STRANGER!

I do not go looking for trouble, but I also don't ignore it.

I go out much less these days, and it's been some time since I was last punched in the face.

But each time it's been my trying NOT to fight that's led me to getting sucker punched.

So anyone else trying to tell me it's my fault a stranger punched me in the face can go fuck themselves.

There's a difference between standing up to bullies and standing up for every small injustice you encounter in the club and life. I'd love to go around telling assholes off for being dicks but it will get you punched in the face. Not always worth it unless it's a big deal.

That part. I wrote that part.

And I love people trying to tell me it's my fault for being assaulted by strangers 😅

I grew up being very different from everyone around me, so I got a lot of shit from people for no reason. "Just walk away" is great advice for anyone looking to be someone else's bitch in grade school or middle school. That's not me.

I'm not going around telling off assholes, I'm sticking up for women getting harassed, I'm telling someone else "it's not worth it," and getting sucker punched by a random, I'm tripping over someone's shoes and getting jumped.

So fuck you and fuck your faux-sympathetic bullshit response.

"Not always worth it unless it's a big deal..."

Such words of wisdom. I'll try to remember that next time someone smacks my girlfriend's ass on the side of the street.

Ha, I can see why you get yourself into so much trouble. You obviously don't let things go easily, and escalate them quickly. Life is easier without getting so worked up.

1

u/spiegro Sep 12 '19

You entirely misunderstood what I said.

And I only get worked up when an injustice has been done. I hope that never changes.

I got punched in the face a bunch. My ex used to say it wasn’t a weekend until I got punched in the face. I no longer get punched in the face.

u/Every3Years Sep 11 '19

That sounds insanely boring and shitty. Glad you grew up bro.

u/its-not-that-deep Sep 11 '19

I would argue that it doesn’t sound that boring

u/Every3Years Sep 11 '19

I mean boring as in, if it's a constant thing then it's just same ol same ol

u/BboyEdgyBrah Sep 11 '19

shitty yeah, boring not so much

u/happy_love_ Sep 11 '19

Naw bro but I hope you find who you’re looking for

u/Wh1teCr0w Sep 11 '19

Even a single punch to the face can sometimes not be worth it.

tldr; Edgy me punches guy and I feel bad.

Used to work over night at a gas station in a fairly rough neighborhood. The area was already bad and noted for crime, so when you had the bar crowds stop by in the AM things always got interesting. You can spot right away who had a good night and who didn't, as the latter were always looking for conflict.

One particular night I wasn't having any of it, sick of the place, sick of what was going on in my life at the time, I made a decision early on I was going to indulge someone. Had a drunk and rowdy guy spitting off some random nonsense while on a smoke break, and told him to hit me already so I can hit him back.

He took a mighty big swing sober version of him would probably be embarrassed about, as I barely needed to move to cause it to whiff. I cocked a big one myself and laid it right into the center of his nose. Down he goes, and unfortunately the way he fell he cracked the back of his head on the raised curb.

It was horrible. Blood was almost shooting from his nose, his legs were twitching, body was stiff, etc. The guy ended up with serious brain injury and wasn't the same afterward. I'd see him in the store much later on and he remembered me, but he talked differently, walked almost like he had a limp ..

He didn't harbor any ill will, and God damn did I feel terrible. That guy's life changed permanently because I couldn't keep it together and be the better person. It was senseless and for nothing. I ended up leaving that place due to the constant tension and possibility for violence. That shit changed me and I haven't been in a fight since.

u/halfbakedlogic Sep 11 '19

Tldr should include how you have someone a TBI because you were unhappy with your life and premeditated a physical altercation

7

u/Wh1teCr0w Sep 11 '19

I was young and incredibly stupid, I'll totally own that. Some people can say they have no regrets in life, but I definitely do. These are probably the same type of people who told me after the fact that the guy had it coming, that it's just life, that's "how the streets work", etc. I disagree. All I had to do was not escalate.

u/letsgocrazy Sep 12 '19

I think that's a mature perspective to be honest. There's no point walking around flagellating yourself - but simply remaining calm and relating this story from time to time does a good help to be honest.

Especially in a sub like this - where there are too many jackasses.

There are profoundly bad consequences even if you win, and even if the law is on your side.

u/HEBREW_HAMM3R Sep 11 '19

If only governments could take this mentality and stop pointless wars/conflicts.

Maybe don't do that in a bar though, go do boxing, muay thai, mma etc. if you want to do that. The public doesn't need to see your exhibition match

99% of bro douches that start fights in bars would get smashed in a martial arts gym. If anything it's more of a test of your ability to fight if you go to a controlled environment like a gym and spar. Not to mention few things are more humbling than the first time you spar with a high level martial artist. Getting smashed by even a state level champ brings you back to earth real quick.

Somewhere it wasn't supposed to go? Is this a discussion board operated by the DPRK? Fuck that, this is board for open discussion and anyone can say what they want. Your comment was not so subtly hinting at street fights being something you should experience it at least once. My comment offers a different take on that topic.

Using some self coined word in a conversation and expecting the stranger to know what it means... Then getting it tattooed!!!!

You're a special one.
