👥 friendship AIO
I feel embarassed and a pussy.
I was out with my friend drinking and he was very drunk, it was 3 of us. My 2nd friend left so it was just me and the drunk one and he decided to aggravate someone else when the club closed at 6am; it was pretty equal and I’m not sure why they were arguing but I tried to calm them down. My friend wouldn’t listen to me and I didn’t know what to do.
My friend and the guy start fighting outside having a fair 1-1 and I broke it up after my friend got knocked down -keep in mind I’m on my own stoned and there’s 8 people the other guys with-
After I broke it up the guy my friend was fighting came up to me asking if I want to fight, I’ve had fights before and I’m not afraid to fight however I felt because of what the situation was and being stoned it probably was best to walk away. He kept coming at me so I saw someone I know and we said I don’t want to fight and just leave it.
After having many fights before I’m home and now feel like an ass to my friend, embarassed and a pussy any advice?

OR. Why would you fight the guy? Why would you risk injury to yourself or to the other guy because your friend is an idiot? Pride? Ego? Who gives a fuck? Unless your family is in imminent danger always walk away. Your pride will get you killed or accidentally killing someone else. I’ve got two patients right now living with traumatic brain injuries because they weren’t man enough to walk away from a meaningless confrontation.
