Am I weak, if I choose not to stand up for myself and just walk away?

I don't think walking away from a scenario is a sign of weakness I believe in some cases it can be a sign of strength. To be able to be a mature person and rise above people who want to drag you down is nothing you should be feeling down about!

No. Walking away from a fight; where the other person is irrational enough to constantly block you; is the best way to deal with it. However if its something which is dear and important to you then standing up for yourself is totally worth it

Definitely not! It shows strength to walk away from something that is upsetting us or causing us to feel negative. In many situations it is not always possible to stand up for ourselves and that is okay, but we should definitely not have to put up with someone upsetting us, so walking away is also a great thing to do.

No you are not weak, you are avoiding conflict. Often that's the right thing to do or the smarter thing to do.

No, either way you're a strong person. You've decided that they're not worth the time and effort to make a scene, they have nothing better to do.

Yes, no offense. You should at least try and stand up for yourself and walk away strongly just to ignore them.

Not at all. It just shows how strong you are. Walking away means you have self control. When people get angry and fight back it gives the bully satisfaction knowing they got under your skin, which is usually what they are trying to do, but if you ignore them and do not engage you instantly take that power away from them.

You are not weak when you walk away you might be feeling your not ready to take that stage so it's completely fine to back away from it and come back when your ready.

No, this is an ancient practice of defense by acceptance and becoming soft, called tae kwon doe. It's an ancient martial art which has to do with becoming soft when the opponent expects resistance. It has to do with faith that there is room in the universe for both the opponents forceful attack, and your withdrawal into a different reality. Yes, there are times when one must stand up for oneself and it's important for pride to take a stance. But pride can sometimes conflict with an important piece, self-preservation, and one must preserve oneself at all cost, even to pride. One can be proud to be alive, to persist, to survive, to thrive.
