Don’t Become a Victim of Violence through Fear

Violence, & the fear of bullying & verbal taunting we all know are wrong but still aggression takes over at the best of times & there don't seem much that some of us can do.

Or is there?

Even though it's not very nice especially because YOU are THE VICTIM!

Within a potential violent confrontation scenario there are usually three types of victim!

1: One who shows fear by becoming intimidated by the aggressor?

2: One who does not become intimidated no matter what he or she faces because they always have hope & trust in their own ability.

3: & the third kind will be a victim of SURPRISE!

Whereas surprise is concerned please read my article The Number 1 factor to Protect Yourself from Violence

The one who shows fear is more than likely to become attacked physically than the one who sticks up for him, or herself!

This does not mean you have to get involved in a slanging match with your aggressor, no; you must be in total control of such situations by proving to him that he should not mess with you.

By being aware of the perceived danger in the first place & utilizing your own personal safety space with a backup plan of physical activity & how to protect yourself from therein you will already start to instill an energy, or presence about you that will become predatory instead of the victim mode. And the VICTIM mode your aggressor could quite easily pick up on.

Within this article you will realize elements which could either, ignite & flare up, or prevent, a potential assault from becoming physical there after & by considering & becoming aware of these factors you will become much better prepared yourself.

Fear is a natural human response for our very own survival & is created automatically on the assumption of ‘danger towards one’s self’ from the outcome of a possible confrontation, & without adequate training both mentally & physically fear alone can create a natural physical reaction whereas your body physically will either freeze up or hesitate within the perceived face of danger, which can prevent your ability physically, to defend yourself, or to even run & become safe in such circumstances.

On the other hand, when one does not become intimidated, he or she will function more adequately both mentally & physically within this scenario because he or she does not fear the consequences of any injury to themselves so this is not forefront on their minds, & is more likely to be able to protect him or herself within a possible violent situation because they see only hope in their success to control the situation.

For some, because of past experiences in their life & their own personal beliefs they are already inept to not take any kind of intimidating behavior from anyone else no matter how aggressive or how big they are but unfortunately for others, even because of past experiences or not in their life, some may have a timid nature & so personal enforcement must be learned & acquired.
