Self defense in a flash?!


Question: I used to work for a rather unique Old Man for 20+ yrs.
He was hard as they come......I as did many others learn fast that if you didn't verbally and nearly physically stand up for yourself to him he would yell at you like a Marine DI .....
One of the older guys who eventually and ironicallly took the old mans job yrs later told me if I didn't stand my ground one day to him that he'd ride me forever.
Then came the day.........and from then on we always had a working understanding that if he was gonna call me and yell....if he was right I'd admit my error and move on....
But if I was right.....we'd go at it.
Anyway........in the long run he was like a Dad to me in the end.
Ya..I had a real Dad and he was the only real Dad but this Man hired me @ 22 years old and I was w/ him for 20+yrs and he taught me how to stand on my own two feet.After all the yrs I am having a problem w/ keeping my mouth shut..I have a problem shutting dow the auto defense mechanism...no arrestsj ust many job los

Never be a yessir-nosir guy. The old man was right to a certain extent. You should ALWAYS stand up for yourself. The old man didn't tell you all the different ways you can stand up for yourself, though. He only taught you aggression. There's passive aggression, plotting, revenge, etc. All kinds of good stuff. Machiavelli and The Prince are good reads. I recommend them to you.

go talk to a councillor they can help you go through methods to help you not be like this.
