Hey,
This is/was so stupid of me...especially on Christmas...anyway here's what happened:
So my buddy and i were driving home (i was driving him to his place) and some ute behind us comes along bearing highbeam, it was so aggravating, my car is low so even a normal beam can get in my eyes but with the high-beam my driving was really visually impaired, and to make matters worse it was a dark/quiet street.
Anyway, i get annoyed so i really reduce my speed and since it's a 1 way road, the guy is obviously getting annoyed as well. Eventually we get to a larger road and as he overtakes me he starts swearing and shaking his fists, etc. I saw at least 3 guys in the ute, his swearing suddenly annoys me and i suddenly start swearing and right back at him. (surprised myself, I'm usually able to restrain myself) Long story short then begins some reckless driving and more cursing etc. Eventually it seems these guys are going to follow us home, start something.
I started getting afraid.
If you're looking for a fight story you're not going to get one so i'm just telling you now. Anyway, i start getting afraid, and this shocks me. First of all, the fact that i stooped to that level pisses me off to no end, secondly I'm not one to shy out from a fight but this one actually scared me. (possibly because it had something to do with a car? .. i don't know...)
I just need to ask, cold approaches, getting an attractive girls number, these things don't really trouble me much, i'm not amazing or anything but i've never had enough trouble (yet) to give me some concern and through sosuave i'm always learning, but the fact that i got scared of an incident like this...
I'm 5'8 and i hit the gym and i'm not too bad physically, i've also had training in martial arts and the like, it's just... i feel dirty and ashamed, also kind of pissed off. If it was a one-on-one situation i don't think i would have cared so much...maybe i'm just trying to justify myself.
Either way, what do i do to fix this? I don't want to be a ****ing *****, it's not the kind of person i want to be.
