Am I being coward?

When I was just 12 years old, my family relocated to Pune in 2014. I used to live in Kalewadi, and ever since, I have avoided getting into any kind of fight on the street, even when I was talking to strangers, because I learnt that neither my family nor I could afford to fight the other side. I still don’t have any political ties, and I have many friends who agree with what I believe in. I just wanted to make it clear that there have been instances where I’ve dealt with actual wealthy politicians children who tease with me to get me angry. How long must I do this?

Edit:

A very wise person just sent me this as a response for this post, please do watch

    This is called being wise, it is not cowardice to avoid fights that can cause yourself or your family harm.

    You’re not being a coward, you’re being smart. No one gets anything out of winning a fight or from political ties if you’re from the working class – you have so much to lose. One legal trouble, and your professional and personal life will nosedive.

    Kalewadi is a heavily influenced area. Politicians play an important role there. Focus on bigger things. Get out of there too.

    Fright is the an instinct for survival

    You must fight till death only for your god, nation and religion – Rest all can be avoided. !

    Also it’s just a personal thought.

    Either do something so that you can beat the system

    Or

    Better get used to it + maintain sanity

    Only i can understand your situation.

    EDIT: beat the system: you can lick some powerful’s ass ( which I don’t recommend ) or do something so that you can become rich or powerful to use this system in your favour

    Walk away and avoid fights! Thats the best thing! But do learn self defence! So that if ever one day something happens, you can atleast defend yourself!

    Get teased. Once they don’t get the spice they’ll automatically stop it.
    But if you show them your getting angry it’ll pump them even more.
    Act as if nothing happened.

    You never want that, been there and done that but it does affect you mentally being with people like these or dealing with them. And there’s no point in being that kind of person. Protect your peace at always, that doesn’t mean that you’re a coward, as a matter of fact it doesn’t mean anything. You have to be at peace with yourself that’s important.

    Choose your battles wisely, including physical one. You are wise enough to know this. 🙂

    It takes bravery to not respond. Be as you are. Murkh lok murkach rahnar ahet. Even I am trying to be like this.

    If you have seen that recent incident in Pune shared by redditor. You would know these road rage fights are mostly nobody’s. Once you stand up and take legal fight, they start begging.

    Actual criminals only fight for money. These petty fights are not worth the legal troubles for them.

    Once you realize this, you would stop fearing these dada bhaiyas.

    I have had a physical fight with people on the street and in my society with people who really deserved to be slapped and punched and kicked. But all of that happened in my head. Never raise your hand or touch someone agressively. Self defense is a separate thing. U can step back or push away whilst being apologetic or to calm down the situation. Violence ruins your peace. It’s not worth it. Destroy with words. That could be satisfactory. Be smart enough to be passive aggressive. Like if someone honks constantly in bumper to bumper traffic. Just look back and say where should I go ? Or is that a new horn ? Sounds nice. Udkar jau kya? Or just be overly respectful. What will he or she do ? Best is to resolve the issue then and there. But if someone hits or touches your family or your dog in the family. No mercy.

    I wish I could develop this habit of staying quiet. But it never happens.

    Ignorance is bliss. Self preservation is a wise decision. Protecting your interest for yourself and your family’s good is the sign of mental fortitude. You’re doing nothing wrong in avoiding fights. If there’s a chance of getting into a fight with someone, say sorry, ask him if there’s a way that this can be fixed (mostly in cases of accidents, people will run up to you and try to start a fight, keep your cool, ask them how this can be resolved and have a cool head) you never know who’s carrying what weapon near Kalewadi, Wakad areas. I live there as well, and I know the kinds of things that can go down.
