Having guys to back you up

[Bagheera]

Yea, I just moved, and from my previous place, my social skills were crap.

Now if I do get into a fight, It would be nice to have guys back you up but I just moved as also my social skills are crap....

Do you really need people to back you up?

I'd say that the vast majority of fights can be stopped before they start...

Just work on making some friends, casual acquaintances, etc. And if the need arises, these new friends could possibly back you up.

Try and think of it this way; "violence is the last recourse of a limited mind."

Yea, of course of course, Im not the guy that would provoke.

But sometimes I worry that if a time comes where I HAVE to stand up for myself (I.E. fight) I ALWAYS think 100 men will come after me, don't know, maybe it's just some mild phobia.

I did get into a fight last year, and nothing of the sort happened..

Just that my social skillls are crap, and the problem is that I have a hard time going up to new people at highschool, meeting new people. (Social skills are crap)

My social skills used to be crap too. Now when I look back at high school I can't believe the things that would worry me.

I know it's easier said then done, but just go out and be your best, and try to improve yourself however you can. It might seem hard, but you can enjoy many more things when you just DON'T WORRY. Trust me, I've been where you are.

Also, even though I don't know anything about you or the area you moved to, but there shouldn't be any real worries of fighting.

But to answer your question:

Of course, like spis said, violence should be a last resort. But should you get into a fight, don't worry about other guys ganging you, at least until they actually do. I don't know if you are a good fighter or not, but do not be ashamed if you lose! That is enough to completely shatter your confidence, especially in a new area where you don't know anybody. Just don't run away (unless your life is in danger) and fight like a man.
