What to do with someone who just tries to harass/intimidate/pick on you? They aren't attacking you full force?

Question

They are just trying to "one up you" and test you type thing. I have a few relatives that like to do this. They will puch toward my face and take a fighting stance. They may even lightly hit me. It's not on a full on attack. But, at the same time it's higly annoying and infuriating. It's an ego thing really the one up man ship bull.

Now, if I do something back they up the bar. So, to keep on going, it will turn into a real fight because they won't stop.

Walking away may be one solution but, you can't always walk away. This just encourages their bullying ego too.

Sad thing is we are grown adults too and being aware of laws/jail is a priority. What have you done or do?

Answer 1

Some defensive action will be required. You do not fight, but simply defend, and only defend yourself. Learn basics of defensive stances and techniques. What I can suggest you is karate, since they have simple basic techniques to defend yourself against simple attacks which your assaulter may launch at you for intimidation or superiority purposes. Deflect their punches and do not block, this encourages the idea that you are willing to be their punching bag. When they sense that they are unable to touch you or scare you, this will counter-intimidate your assaulter, and in time they will no longer interest themselves into forcing their sense of superiority on you.



My answer may be different compared to many of the other responses which encourages "consulting with a third party" or "use of social and legal power". I believe that unless you settle this matter, your message won't be conveyed to them. If you call police, or consult with a third party which hold superiority over your assaulter, they would hold future grudges. In my opinion that isn't the proper solution to the problem, but the choice is yours; to defend yourself or borrow power from a third party

Answer 2

i do no longer hate each person, yet I hate some human beings's habit. I reject all religions, and that is from understanding, no longer in basic terms believing or questioning. I truly have studied and idea a lot. Holy books are packed with contradictions and lack of comprehend-how of technology and truth. I studied international religions as a Philosophy pupil in college. i develop into delivered up in a Christiian abode. mom's father develop right into a pastor. i began to be certain mistakes interior the Bible at the same time as i develop into age 7. You sound paranoid to assert a number of the things you do. Delusions of grandeur and delusions of persecution are indications of paranoia. you ought to take some training at faculties and receive some more beneficial gaining comprehend-how of. Then, you would nicely study that what you're saying now's the authentic shaggy dog tale.

Answer 3

Options as I see so far.

Assault: An assault is any unlawful attempt or offer with force or violence to do a corporal hurt to another, whether from malice or wantonness; for example, by striking at him or even holding up the fist at him in a threatening or insulting manner, or with other circumstances as denote at the time. an intention, coupled with a present ability, of actual violence against his person, as by pointing a weapon at him when he is within reach of it. When the injury is actually inflicted, it amounts to a battery.

A simple assault is limited to the use of physical force and result in little or no injury to the victim. Where there is no intention to do any other injury. This is punished at common law by fine and imprisonment. An "assault" may be committed without actually striking or injuring another person.



But... good luck with evidence. I would assume that this is also typically done in a group setting? I can assure you, if so, you will have no witnesses for your side. There are a lot of psychological issues here at play as well. If you try some type of covert "criminal" approach... I'd check your local laws for BOTH audio AND visual recording without all parties consent or knowledge. Then in accordance with your statutes, I'd try and catch it that way.

Otherwise, you'll need to address the problem in a completely different manner.

More info would be helpful.

I'll keep touching back.

Hope this helps.

If you know family will ignore it and not bust your chops.

hell who cares even if they will or not if you can take him, size him up.

He thinks you will back down.

So next time he starts take a second even if you have to make a excuse and go to the bathroom. Remember the 8 oz sinker trick.

Come back wait and let him do his thing, remember he thinks he tough $hit just get a 8 oz sinker lead sinker cut the tip off so you can hide it inside your hand and when he does his thing gut punch him with all your might.

if he doesn't drop like a stone doubling over then without waiting at all give him a shot to knock him silly then don;t say a thing just walk away and get rid of that sinker that no one has seen.

he'll respect you no matter the outcome and a extra 2nd slug to his gut can really finish the situation if he ,looks like he has any life left to come back at you.

And can do wonders for your survival. I had this threats from strangers and it worked.

It was like gangland mob creep that had been in a lot of trouble and i had to do it no one was going to have the guts to put this bum in his place. It was survival of the fittest.

I hate violence but if people around you aren't offering you advice you got to be your own man. ***Remember get rid of that hidden sinker! ***

Either that or the bum will treat you like your his Lady! La de Da!

Answer 5

This how I look at it my friend. If I was in your situation regardless as if I can or knows how to fight or not I would fight them. Now I know its more than one of them and you probably will get beat up but as a grown man you can't let them push you around like a lil *****. 9 out of 10 if people see you fight, they would stop harassing you its not that they can't beat you up anymore but you earn their respect or they would just get away from you because they think you're crazy but hey whatever works right.

Answer 6

Hey there



Nobody has a right to lay a hand on you against your will, even if its just a light tap as you say . Next time they do this messing , tell them you are not finding it funny and if they lay a hand on you again even if its just a tap, you will defend yourself, if you are unable to defend yourself, then tell them if they do not quit harassing you like this you will call the Police.

These guys sound like overgrown immature children, idiots. They should act their age. Don't let them get to you, don't let them touch you or harass you in anyway. There are Laws there to protect you from this kind of scum



Kind regards

Answer 7

I have friends and relatives that do that to me too, I usually try and have fun reacting to it with great exaggeration by letting out a loud grunt and pretend to be hurt from the punch. They usually lose interest once they realize I'm not gonna defend myself and just play act every time.

Answer 8

Finger lock them. My Grandfather used to do this to me when I was getting playfully out of hand, attacking him and so forth. Any finger will do but pinky and thumb are probably best, grab it and lock it up. The beauty is that it doesn't matter who's finger it is, a little girls, or Mike Tysons, they now belong to you.



Either that or you could just hand out a straight up beat down.

Answer 9

Tell them, straight up to stop all the bull, i knew a kid who got his black belt around the time i was starting martial arts and he thought he was so cool because of it and was always picking on me and throwing kicks in my face,one day when i finally got to spare him he was the one getting kicked in the face.

Answer 10

challenge them to a match in a ring with a referee. If they accept, beat them up. If not, they are cowards.



PS never talk martial arts with anyone, just do martial arts.

Answer 11

If its just verbal, tell them to 'grow up' and walk away. If it become physical go all out.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Just sorta stare at them and say 'What are you doing?...' and 'Get a life' or 'Leave me alone' or something. Or you could parody them and be like 'Oh yeah look at how tough I am!' or laugh at them as if they're being immature. Just make sure your body language doesn't make you look scared.
