Unemployed, again.

[Stinky]

Well, my contract ran out with Argos as a Christmas customer advisor. So now I have 1.5 months to kill untill my PRMC . I have yet, another question though. Since I was about 14 I got bullied by some guys in my year. If I was what I am like now, then, I would of been brave enough to kick their as*es. But I wasn't, instead I was kind to them like a wimp, I also turned very quiet. Now, I am always as kind to everyone I meet! I would be happy to give a stranger (excluding townies, chavs etc) a £10 note for nothing. I know selfishlessness is a good quality to have, but am I to weak minded? Will I be looked down apon if I didn't stand up for myself against a n*b in my troop if I get to the 32 week training?

Hey Im the same mate, Im kind hearted unless someone really F's me round. I think its a good thing, Its better to be a good person then a arrogent chav.

Just learn when to get angry! If you help them but they throw it back in your face thats the time to kick their asses

[KJ-Edwards]

Im a kinda hearted person also, sometimes told i am too nice, although there is a boarder that should not be crossed. Much like a proximity mine, I will be nice, but do not get on my nerves or F around.

I'm also told I am too nice, until somebody tells my best friends girlfriend that he will "slap you, you stupid slag" lets just say it must of been a funny sight for onlookers to see me hanging through his MINI window with my hands round his throat, anyway the point is, not only do I stick up for myself, I stick up for other people who I think deserve it, and if I was in training with a bully I wouldn't stand back and let it happen, regardless of the consequence's for myself. As for being looked down upon, I wouldn't look down on you as that is your character

Dog eat dog world mate, unless the people around you are your mates.

From what i've learnt in life, people will use you to their gain.

Yeah think most of us are like that m8! I didn't join up after leaving school cuz everyone thought I was too much of a wimp and would just get pushed around and be misserable...truth is since then I've met and talked to ppl in the army & RM and I haven't met one that I didn't get on with or that wasn't a good bloke.
Think that image that you have to be loud mouthed, macho etc is not really true! Just full of people like us! ...which may be a good thing?.......lol

[gjd1986]

regarding the above post;

when some people found out i was joining the marines, "you arn't big enough" etc was the words from their mouths, what do they know eh. Clowns. They assume you need to be a body building raging physchopath to join.

edit- ys / sy where wrong way around!

[Stokey_14]

being nice is a great quality to have as long as you do stick up for you and your own when needed, people say im "nice guy" which i like to think i am, but as recently happened a gang of chavs decided my dads wing mirror whould be a good thing to practice kicking. i leater asked around to find out who it was and told him nicely pay for the extencive damage or eles me and my other frainds would take things into our own hands... to my shock the lad who did it said he would pay and we got a nice sum of money + a little for the inconvenionce. so in my eyes be nice un-less there really is no other opption

P.S. feel free to give me a tenner anytime i asure you i am far from a chav or towney

Rephrased: Stinky, I don't want to sound like an arsehole but you need to change your attitude. Not sticking up for yourself may be misinterpreted as being a coward (Not my opinion!!!! ) - lets face it, not standing up for yourself may show you as being a "push over"

[AJtothemax]

Stinky, I don't want to sound like an arsehole but you need to change your attitude. Not sticking up for yourself may be misinterpreted as being a coward - lets face it, no one want to fight alongside a coward do they?

Rubbish. Never confuse kindness with weakness! Alot of people make that mistake.

Im quite a composed guy myself, i'll usually stick my neck out for a stranger to help them out, but if its to help them out when they're doing something that goes against my morals as a person then i wont. I'll always stand by my mates and family through anything, no matter what it is.

But, like most on here, theres a line that you don't cross. Im patient and i am always willing to negotiate but theres just a line you dont cross, basically thats when it hits you or they are just taking the piss - thats when i'll stand my ground all the way, even if it means chinning em, however many fo them there are.

I am glad i've grown up the way i am. I know i had a good upbringing, my dad was quite strict but i have always known which lines i could kind of bend and which ones i couldn't or shouldn't otherwise i would have got a good slap, or if need be, a bloody belt!! Mmmaaaannnn that used to hurt! But im glad my parents raised me right with good values and made sure i got a proper education, my dad was the first to get me into full contact karate when i was a boy so i could learn how to defend myself, i can't tel you how many times that has come in handy when i was a kid! Then rugby, ju-jitsu and boxing, its all worth doing and im glad i have done and continue to do so.

Stinky, just because you're nice to people its not weakness at all. Let me ask you this, would you help an elderly person across the street if they needed help? While maintaining your own self pride despite what others around you might be thinking, whoever they are?! Could you do that? And if need be, ignore what others might throw verbally at you afterwards? I tell you, i've seen it before, because i was the person helping the old man.

You should just forget about those bullies, they're nothing - absolutely nothing and they always will be. Never let them have an effect on your life and if they try to - bite their heads off!

Aye mate, i think you mis-understood me. I meant that people will often confuse it with weakness, thats just a fact of life. It's not my personal opinion.

It doesn't matter how nice you are, you must always stand your ground and be a bloody man.

Yeah fair play mate, sorry for the confusion, and yes you are right.

[rgj-rifleman]

Stinky, stand up to the people that are a nuisence, i can tell you now that i am also a very lenient person, and am always willing to give a helping hand, but if anyones wants to push there luck i wont tolerate it, when i get into RT i will be friendly to the entire troop and im sure eventually the nobbers will be separarted from the rest of the troop, still doesnt mean i cant be civil with them. Be civil with everyone and you cant go far wrong, if someone dislikes this, thats there own problem, and then you can start thinking about standing up for yourself.

I honestly wouldnt worry about it though when the time comes you will know what to do. If its back down then thats that, if its fight back then good luck, either way you cant predict these things untill your in that situation

(I'd advise stand tall though rather than back down )

Ok, thanks for all the advice. I think I have the just of it. Or though when the time comes when I am up against an idiot, I might just hide and let me friends do the rest . I would just like to say my press-ups are coming along nicly and I just did 60 slow proper ones, back on track .
