    You will always be at a disadvantage when you're dealing with people like this because they're willing to "crash out" crash out meaning throw everything away to seriously hurt or kill you over basically nothing if you're not able or willing to go all the way in a split second it's very difficult to not become a victim of people with this type of mentality...

Based on the one I scored high in I'm starting to wonder if that's why so many people will start confrontations with me and then flinch and gtfo. I've got some empathetic traits but also a pretty easily provoked and very deep mean streak, like the H/K switch gets flipped and a much more predatory animal takes over.

    One thing an O.G told me when I was twelve was to walk with my head up and my chin up and dudes won't look at you as easy pray. It was 100% true. Before I would walk through the neighborhood or the mall and other kids would mess with me and after I started walking with my head and chin up, other kids stopped bullying me. I think it has something to do with the psychology if someone's looking at you before you look at them it kinda creeps you out (for a kid it scares them) but when you both look at each other at the same time then one of you can look away and it's no big deal. The other person won't think of you as weak as if there already staring at you and then you look up at them. Then you're kinda scared and theyre just looking at you seeing you get scared. Idk if it makes sense to any of you but it helped me out a lot to walk with my head up and chin up.

Even despite feeling scared you walk around with your head held high and focused the bad guys will avoid messing with you. Street predators look for easy targets, not for those who look like they can put up any kind of a fight. Of course there are exceptions, like people who really like to get into scrapes, but they are generally not the predatory street types.

    See, now you're getting into the real deal. This is the kind of neighborhood I grew up in and I was 12 the first time I was intentionally shot at. There are a number of ways you can survive in this kind of environment but, being weak is generally not one of them. It's not quite as bad as places in L.A., Chicago, etc. but, people get killed on far too regular of a basis. This is why I'm critical of your previous overly-academic approach to self-defense. Dudes like this will just mess you up and you better have your own fangs out because it will be absolutely nothing like being on the mats.

    More times than not, it's how you carry yourself. Stay in shape, head up, shoulders back, strong eye contact etc... As a white guy, I worked in a few bad neighborhoods. And had a few confrontations, one was with a prominent drug dealer in the area. I was a manager and he bought a card with minutes on it, for his burner phone. He claimed the minutes weren't on there, he paid 50.00 for the card. He came close to me in a violent manner, to where I got in a blade stance and made sure he knew I wouldn't back down or be easy.
    After some arguing, I gave him a refund. And said to him, I will do this one time for you but if you choose to get the pre-paid card again. You're doing it at your own risk. After that day he would come in the store and greet me big name and spot me up. He knew I wasn't a punk, but did the right thing by him. Most people in the hood respect you if you stand up for yourself and aren't a fake person. It's weak people and disingenuous people they attack the most.

    (Context for story reason) I'm 15 in new York, I grew up in a white middle class family, never any problems, mom and dad loved each other, brothers got good grades, family dream, being from New York within the inner city, and also going on to become a teenager at that point soon, things changed, I used to be scared, weak. Afraid of everything and anyone who said something to me.
    But going where I was going I knew I couldn't be that, I knew I wouldn't survive being that, from the moment I saw a bag of weed, to the moment I held my first gun I knew there was no going back, I walk high with my head raised, I walk hands to the side swinging like I own the street.
    because In my mind, I need to act as if I do, so the person who really does own the street doesn't lay me out on it.
    I'm not a strong guy, a fearless guy. Shit I've been beaten down till blood, but I never sat down, not once.
    I have too much honor for my last name, and too much pride for where I'm from to lay down and get beat, remember kids, ladies, gentlemen anyone who's reading this, the life has a path, and I haven't even seen half of it yet.

    Understand the who, what, when, where, why, and customs and courtesies of your environment, or threat assessment.
    Brainstorm, develop and implement controls to reduce the likelihood of negative encounters with variables or risk assessment.
    Go about your business as usual. The wisdom gained through threat and risk assessments will give you the trust in yourself, which others will notice. And more than likely, leave you the hell alone. If your threat assessment proves wrong, hopefully your risk assessment controls includes knowing how to defend yourself.

They are put in these type of situations by design. Economic society is rigged from the start while they also program, brainwash, manipulate, coerce, sabotage etc…the areas and the people in them. It’s literally designed to be this way. Thats how we have the rich and the poor because they created it. If they weren’t rich they wouldn’t have poor people.

    I've been knee deep in the street life in my past. I don't miss it. Taught me a few things, but it's not a sustainable lifestyle. Rap music tends to glorify that world, but nobody is making music from the prisons and cemeteries that swallow souls off the streets. It's much harder to choose the individual path in life if you're use to being around like minded people who run in packs. If you don't have a strong support system (family/friends), you're up against serious odds as it is. But the street life is a minefield for most.

    I made it 2 years in prison without a single altercation, I minded my own business, Walked with confidence , and stayed working out. The people who got messed with were the people who were obviously scared and nervous. To make it through situations like that, you cannot have fear. Even if you have fear and try to hide it the wolves can smell it. So if you are a fearful person and someone who gets messed with, it’s critical to snuff that fear or you will never make it. Another thing they look for is pretentious people, if you present yourself as something that you are not, they will smell that also and capitalize on it. If you walk around fearless and real you can make it through a lot.

Not as many people have spent long periods of time around men who will suddenly smash a glass bottle into someone's face, permanently mutilating them, simply because that person *is* weak. Men who would kill someone for not helping them kill someone else. Men who would dangle a baby over a boiling tub to get a PIN number. I believe an overlooked aspect of self defense is to truly understand your opposition. Thinking of certain people as "predators" who might be bluffed, calmed down, evaded or otherwise dealt with is not the same as understanding that certain people are sociopathic sadist's whose thoughts are a constant loop of violence, robbery and retribution.
