Awile ago I was walking with a acquaintance and we were vibing okaying. I came around a corner and 5 guys stood up there talking. These guys usually see me and make it a habit to laugh and call me names so I just walked past them like I don't know them and they look back at me and say " buy a sweets youth. "
I stopped to talk to them and the more I spoke is the more they raised their voice. The guy I was walking with just stepped back and watched me get insulted. I'm a year older than these guys but because they were a group I felt threatened. They want me to buy from them and they are bossing me up. They touched my pocket and said " you have the money bad boy just buy one and stop move like a pussy".
All I could do was raise my voice to match them but it fell flat. Every time I am confronted like that I feel so threatened that I take the insult. I try matching how they talk and act but it feels weird and I usually go back to calm me when they are still talking and sometimes shouting.
How do I keep this frame? How do I prevent people from seeing me as a target? It keeps happening and I don't know why.
