How Can You Avoid Attacks?
There is one quality you can exhibit that will greatly decrease any odds that you might be physically attacked today. There is one characteristic that attackers avoid as much as possible. What is this force? In a nutshell, it is simple confidence. 
Confidence speaks a language of its own. Attackers see this from a potential victim and walk the other way. Why is this such an effective repellent? Individuals who physically attack look for easy targets. They don’t want someone who can overpower them. They are most often looking to overpower others. Attackers are known to be weak themselves or have a psychological problem where they feel vulnerable. Attacking someone who is weaker is both easier and gives them a sense of power.
It may seem like a difficult process. How can you exhibit confidence without bordering arrogance? Arrogance is at the opposite end of the spectrum, but carries the same consequences. It shows weakness. Experts have long stated that those who are arrogant or conceited are simply masking an incredible lack of self-esteem or self-worth.
Confidence is not arrogance. It is not something that you hold above others in that sense. Confidence tells those around you that you are completely comfortable with yourself and your surroundings. You are calm and won’t be easily intimidated .
Assertion is a quality that many people need today. It’s okay to say “no” to others. If someone is telling you to follow them or to walk with them, and you don’t want to, don’t. If a situation starts to look dangerous in any way, leave it. If someone verbally attacks you, ignore them and leave the situation. Many people attack to get a reaction from someone else. They may be depending on your aggressive return so the situation can escalate.
