Have you Ever been in a physical fight with someone?


Yes. I was bullied as a kid because I was taught that "fighting was wrong", and I was a good kid that didn't like to get into trouble. Thus, I didn't fight back when attacked.
The bullying really escalated in Jr. High, and at some point in 8th Grade, I had reached my breaking point, and I no longer cared if I got into trouble. One of my bullies tripped me when running a lap in gym, and I fell and got a rock embedded under the skin of my elbow. I finished the lap with blood dripping down my arm, and proceeded to beat the shit out of him for about 90 seconds before the gym teacher pulled him away from me. The gym teacher was old-school, and knew perfectly well that I'd been bullied, and was happy that I finally took care of it myself. I was ordered to take another lap, and didn't hear another thing about it. The threats of that bully to beat me up after school never materialized - I messed him up pretty good and he didn't want any more.
A couple of weeks later, another bully flicked my ear really hard with a new (full length) pencil. He sat a few seats behind me in math class, and to his surprise, I got up, pulled him out of his seat and slammed him against the back wall, and told him never to touch me again. He was smiling at first, but in a bit of shock when he hit that wall. He was waiting for me after class, and I beat his ass for about 2 minutes before several teachers pulled us apart. I got a week's worth of on-campus suspension - we had to go to a classroom and sit in silence, doing nothing all day.
One other bully poured a bottle of Elmer's glue into my backpack on the school bus without me knowing it and ruined my school books, notebook, and the backpack itself. He thought it was hilarious until I hit him. This kid was a better fighter, and he did some damage to me (I had a black eye and a split lip), but I ended up on top of him and gave him a really good beating - and this happened at the bus stop after school, where there were no adults to stop us. As far as I can tell, he never even looked in my direction again.
My assumption was that everyone would hate me for defending myself, but just the opposite happened - I went from being an outcast to being invited to things, and people who had never talked to me were now doing so. Of course, I now understand that they couldn't respect me until I respected myself, but at the time, my misguided and mis-articulated parental teaching wouldn't allow me to do anything - until I finally got to the point where the consequences no longer mattered to me.
I've technically been in a couple of fights since then, but only in the defense of someone else - they weren't "my" fights in the way that those were.
Sorry that you got treated so badly, little kids can be so dumb, so so sorry that they did those things to you, I'm really glad you stood up for yourself, and you fighting to defend others is heroic.
Been in more than my share, likely😅 Had my scraps on my own time, plus I was a bouncer for like ten years, so Iāve seen some action. Hadnāt gotten into anything for another decade until a couple of months ago, I got in a fight with a goalie in one of my hockey games lmfao. But itās the one time Iāve gotten myself on tape fighting (the rink has cameras and thereās a subscription service for rink cameras all over North America), so Iām just glad I looked good in this one😂 That goalie is a punk who fucks with people ALL THE TIME, so I was happy to be the guy to finally sit him on his ass lmfao.

Look how slowly the referee pulled up to break us up, not even striding, just gliding in casually lmao, and how half-heartedly #31 in yellow is trying restrain meā¦. everyone in the building wanted to see this kid get laid down😂😂😂
š¤£š¤£š¤£ talk about taking one for the team! you are a life saver some people really deserve a nice hot punches not punch punches
Iām playing against him again tomorrow night too lmao, assuming heās available to play. Weāre on new teams and itās a new season, but weāll see how it goes. He still starts shit with people, but he hasnāt started with me again. Hopefully heās learned his lessonš Kid has problems though, so who knows, maybe heās feeling tough again lmfao
A girl smacked my guy in a bar. She thought he said something, when it was actually another guy who said it. She made a mistake. I had no choice but to pulverize her.
I gave her a beat down that she will never forget. My husband is a kind gentlemen.
One thing that my papa taught us kids, is to NEVER mess with a mamma bear or her cubs. Wise advice.
your hubby is a lucky man!
I have twice. Two times I was pushed, not literally but pushed to my limit in terms of patience by someone who hated me for some reason and wanted to ruin my everyday. And I snapped.
And some friendly sparring with my brothers :)
I fought my brother too when I was younger but i regret it it makes me feel so dumb now LoL
O I love it actually. He puts on pads and he gives me gloves to hit the pads :D

Yeah, I have been in a dozen fights or so. Got bulli edd d hard when I was a kid and since the teaches didn't do shit and only amplified to pro emblem when I spoke, I took matters into my own hands and punched a lot of them out. That got it to stop.
Useful skill should you get caught on the wrong end of someone.
Sorry you got bullied I got bullied too, I know as a kid going through that sucks.
I'm a second degree Brown in both Judo and Akkido and teach women's self defense and bar bouncers (I'm like the movie Road House's 'Cooler') and a retired police officer and Executive Protection bodyguard ('Dark Angel').
3 deceased and one lifetime-disabled who'll remember HIS choice EVER TIME IT RAINS.
I don't START fights, but if pressed, I WILL finish them. This isn't high school.~
Oh no I do not want to mess with you!š you are definitely not playing around, i must definitely contact you so you can teach me how to fight incase someone messes with me so that i can defend myself.
The FIRST objective in any confrontation is to minimize the physical injury YOU endure and to ESCAPE at the earliest opportunity; if its necessary also to inflict an 'educational' injurious experience upon your Attacker. YOU DID NOT ASK for this confrontation, YOU did not volunteer for this interaction. Your Attacker views you as 'prey' either to their Ego/self-image or for material gain.
Remember, a natural Predator like a shark has the objective of ending you so as you to become food!
The greater injury YOU can inflict, the LESS DESIRABLE you become as a dining option.
There is NO 'prestige' in becoming permanently disabled from fetching 'lunch'!
OHH WOW thank you! sometimes i forget that us humans are animals, this makes a ton of sense tho
Recollecting that 'animal' baseline helps explain A LOT of intuitive human responses...
its also 'why' that Japanese 'chikan' fetish is SO powerful.
In focused, intense socially-outrageous finger-banging tactile intimacy, ESPECIALLY in so a socially-repressive culture, where many peer commuters mind-their-own-business... pruriently 'seeing nothing' ... the targeted Victim's body defaults to evolutionary subconscious 'pleasure/pain' response, eventually concupiscently capitulating, much like a horse to proffered sugar cubes despite its mounted Rider's frenzied preferences. The Asian Tong gang crews use cell phones to 'monetize' her body's 'surrender' in international adult erotica sites.
I got into a fight with a friend of mine years ago when he locked himself in the bathroom and downed a bunch of stuff in the medicine cabinet.
I still have scars from him throwing me into glass and pulling a knife out at some point. If the cops didn't show up, he would have driven away.
sorry, this sounds so scary, are you all good now?
He's doing a lot better. Still battleing depression and his inner demons. But I think at least now he knows he can do it. definitely has more confidence compared to back then.
Were still good friends. Known eachother since we were 5.
Yes.
Most people are complete pussies by the way. 90% of the time if anyone ever bullied me or fucked with me the minute I just said, āokay, well letās fight thenā 🤷āāļø they stopped and never bothered me again. Most people are all talk. Especially bullies.
This is so True, I have been in a lot of fights back in primary school nope i'm lying i only fought with 5 girls and 1 guy, but there was 1 girl from that fight who i fought with repeatedly, I lost the fight with the guy I didn't stand a chance, he didn't hurt me much just a one flying kick in the chest then he left𤣠after that i layed on the ground and started rethinking my life decisions, so i guess he gave me a kick in the right direction!, but we ended up being friends after that!. I'm cool with everyone I fought with in primary school, I even greet them if we bump into each other in public or they greet me LoL.
so see if i said okay lets fight, then a real fight would have happened because i look very non threatening, most of the fights i had were because of how non threatening and easy to pick on i was. but if i didn't fight with them i wouldn't have been left alone i was gonna keep getting picked on so fighting did help in that sense. i do regret it though i wish i would have handled things differently
Yes, a few. Mostly in junior high and high school. The last one was when I was around 20. It was not a real fight, I just pulled a loudmouth backwards off a bar stool and slammed his head on the floor. He was insulting my best friend's wife.
this sounds like a heroic act to me, your friend and his wife are lucky to have you
now it sounds super heroic!
Yeah, plenty. I used to work concert security, executive protection (bodyguarding), and was a bouncer ten years ago. Never lost a fight yet.
Never lost a fight yet... that's impressive!.
Yeah this one guy in high school kept trying to grab this girls ass whom repeatedly asked him to stop so like I walked over to him and punched him, then the whole thing escalated. This happened like another time with a different group of people and it was basically the same thing.
i won both tho
Plenty when I was young, but not for a long time. With age comes wisdom.
I could not have said this any better myself.
Yeah I have a exfriend was pulling my little brother by his hair, so I did the same thing to her 😅 Don't mess with my little bro!!
@jjj101010 it was one girl. Yeah she stopped. She was dragging my brother by his hair so I grabbed her hair and asked her how she liked it?
@jjj101010 thanks for proving that big sisters are the best ever.
Once in JH. I tried fight this kid who touched my crush's ass and I got pinned by his friends while he threw punches
You really sound like such a gentleman for thatš„ŗthe guys I knew back in school told me straight up that they aren't gonna go to hospital from sustaining injuries from getting beat up by other guys over a girl, especially if she's cheating or if she beat the guy up first.
I hope you never sustained any major injuries?
Yes unfortunately over a guy. An ex was cheating on his wife. I didnāt know he was married. And i was just defending myself.
I don't appreciate women who fight other woman over a guyš”, i mean clearly the issue there was the guy, if i was her me and you were gonna do a tag team and beat that guy up instead of beating each other up!, ok i don't condone violence but still he's a jerk and he would have deserved it, but no honestly speaking if my man cheats on me i'm not attacking the girl he cheated on me with! she doesn't deserve it i wish more women would realize this.
Yea, don't know why he had the idea that I was friendly but he learned his lesson
No.
Iāve wrestled and boxed and fenced and sparred with pugilist sticksābut I canāt imagine getting in a fight.
ā¦not with a person. Iāve been in some real fur balls with livestockā¦.
Yep, I was young and Bullitt proof.
I still have all of my own teeth.
Itās a no here. Iām a calm person that avoids confrontation
Before I converted to Christianity, I would slap and hit guys.
Yes, lost some - won most.
me too, and winning some helped because not many girls messed with me anymore.
I e pinned someone against a wall once.
that sounds very scary ngl...š
Yes when I was in school 3-4 times I had.
I can't even remember how many times..
Yep.
What happened? Do you mind sharing?
It was a fairly common thing from school onwards.
At school it was just a mix of boredom, a thing you did to settle disputes,
Then in Air Force you ended up in fights now and then for various reasons.
It aināt big or clever. It just happens
Ahhh lol, I saw the guys at my school would fight a lot, I see some adults fight too, I bet it must have been pretty intense in the Air force..., I used to get in fights a lot as a kid in primary school but then in high school I stopped fighting mostly because I realized that I was not a kid anymore, I was a mini woman, and I was even shocked with myself in 8th grade I was like what the heck I went a whole year without fighting 𤯠I broke a record lol.
I forgot how to fight now so if an adults tries to fight with me now then they would have found themselves a punching bag! lol
It really depends on circumstances, some stuff you donāt forget
I think I didn't forget how to fight but I just would not beat some one up now, if they hit me first I might act in self defense but I do not hit or beat people up no matter how angry I get. So i hear what you mean!
Yeah i am able to stand on my temper lol
yeah 🦍
Do you mind telling me what happened?
iām in the school basketball team. So thereās this guy that i argued before for couple of reasons. Heās the team captain by the way. We were practicing for the upcoming match and he randomly started to tell me āif u wanna stay in my team u better do better and obey me.ā I was like wtf bro i ain't obeying no one and threw the ball at his pp lmfao. He got mad and punched me in the face than i punched him back than other students stopped the fight. It was really stupid
ohhhh noooo!, but i'm glad you realize that fighting is not smart I felt so smart for fighting in primary school when other girls or sometimes boys would provoke/ bully me especially if i won the fights (meaning if i beat the other person up more than they beat me up). but I feel dumb now for fighting in primary, what if i would have lost an eye or my life... I wish I would have handled things differently without being violent. so your cool for realizing that fighting with someone is dumb cause you may just be putting yourself at a risk.
fr i think physical fight is an action that animals or cavemen tho
do**
Agreed lol!
No I havenāt lol
whaaaaaa... i'm impressed!
Yep.
Yes i have been
