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

No you are not weak, you are strong that you dont do anything stupid and manage to walk away. And to be even stronger you can tell someone, and solve the problem together. Good Luck ^ ^

Absolutely not. Just walking away takes as much strength as standing up for yourself. Sometimes walking away can be a form of standing up for yourself--by showing the other person that you aren't going to stand there and let yourself be treated that way.

No, in fact, it is very strong to get out of the situation and be the bigger person. Ignoring someone who is tearing you down can cause them to become bored with you and they will most likely leave you alone. However, if they are spreading false information about you, you may need to tell someone so it can stop. Whatever it is though, never believe what they are saying. If they have the audacity to make you feel bad about yourself, then they are not someone who's opinion is worth valuing.

What's the definition of weak itself for you? you are "defined" weak by that, if you think that way. But what if we have another perspective to view on? what's the reason you walk away? is it to run away? then no problem, it's also a coping mechanism for your own mind and feelings. remember, mind-body are connected one to another. People can't just deal with the problems by keep slogging on them. Sometimes they even need to get free from all of people, and be by your own. I believe you have the strength, but many times swayed but people or events outside. All you have to believe, is that you're full of inner resource, and try to do what you think it's better. Cheers!

No. If anything, it's noble and mature. Nobody would think badly of you for choosing to be the bigger person, at least nobody that's mature enough.

No. Being "weak" doesn't mean you walk away from a problem. It just means you're too strong to sink to the other person's level! Keep doing what you're ute doing, and if they try to start something, just tell them that you're not going to sink to their pathetic level! Hope this helps! :)

No. You are simply being the better person. If anything, someone who has control over their actions, and is mature and smart enough to walk away, is the stronger one.

Walking away sometimes takes more strength than fighting back. But sometimes standing up for yourself takes courage. Consider why you walk away.

Sometimes Walking away IS standing up for yourself - we dont always need to enter a confrontation - if we close not to and choose to walk away from a potentially confrontational situation standing up for yourself IS being the bigger person and walking way.
