The Bravohood

I'm not to sure what it is, but right before a conflict will happen or I see someone who I don't like or who might give me a problem I start to feel all tense and my legs begin to get wobbly. I had this problem ever since I was really young.

I'm just a small white guy in the hood so I run into people who will give me a problem (gangsters or crackheads) and I always get that problem. It fucks up my fighting, head is not clear and I never use anything I've learned from wrestling or muay thai from over the years and I get my ass kicked alot in fights.

So what is this problem I'm having and how can deal with it.

Best thing to is to avoid the situation all together. Why run into the problem in the first place if it can be avoided? You may not like someone, or not feel good around someone, but they aren't going to intentionally start an issue with you unless you provoke it. If they do provoke it, why retaliate? Nothing comes good from arguments or fighting. Even if you win, you will always lose.

The sensation you are feeling can possibly be associated by being "nervous" or "scared," which is completely normal. More importantly, it is a feeling of "stress," and you can use that energy positively or negatively. Same feelings occur while gaming. Keep your head up and present yourself with confidence, because people will notice your body language. Do that everywhere you go.

These other guys can sense that you are nervous just by looking at you, which may lead them to believe that they are superior to the weaker person and take advantage of him or her. By always maintaining a state of confidence, otherwise just portraying the Alpha, I assure you that you can avoid this problem without ever having to resort to violence.
