Went out tonight just for a casual pint, but ended up having 3 or 4.

I went to the takeaway with my mate and I went outside to eat it, this guy came out and started talking and then after I laughed he kicked off thinking I was laughing at him (I think he's a druggie) and he slapped me basically, I didn't want to start a fight though because I didn't think it was worth it, however a few of my mates were there and 1 of them stood up for me and I feel like a bit of a pussy for not doing the same.

I wouldn't have benefited from fighting but my pride will have been intact, now a few of my mates will probably think im a pussy (maybe i am).


What do you do in that situation?

Thanks

Well youve got a good threshhold for not retaliating which means you got some inner game .
Look at it from a third position like see the whole event like watching it on a movie to detatch from it maybe in your movie put a dress on the dude, a hitler mostache and put 'macho man' music to it perhaps. I like how comedy charaters handle fights and getting there ass whooped like probably stiffler from american pie would see it 'oh yeah that big fcker bitch slapped me last nyte' its an after thought and just another event to make life exciting and interesting.

Just dont be to serious about it all that would be the Ego trying to recover but the thing is if it does bug you then they will think you should have done something whereas if it dosent bug you theyll think your a solid dude.
