I’ve unfortunately been bullied a lot because I was too skinny and I used to talk a lot. So I would say stupid thingsand as a result I was bullied. I now avoid speaking more than necessary and don’t interact with people more than necessary except 3 or 4 people. I’ve now started believing that being alone is better to avoid getting bullied and not have conflicts with others.
Men who have never been bullied or had very few conflicts with other people, how do you avoid fights?

The only 2 types of men who have never had conflict are usually the men who aren’t confrontational and just go along to get along. They often people please and don’t stand up for anything. Or the men who are always in positions of power that make them useful to others and cause people to not pick fights with them due to the power they hold.
Be scary looking
As a kid, in school, I was never bullied despite being a tiny skinny kid, because my brother was an ABA heavy weight champion. So, people didn’t want a punch off him.
As an adult, it is simple, I just don’t let anyone bully me, if someone is overtly aggressive I will walk away, if someone raises their voice to me, I will calmly tell them to stop
Go to an mma gym and dedicate yourself
My brother is 6’4 and 250 pounds. He’s never been in a fight.
I’m 6’5”, 270lbs and lift. Freshman year of high school I was 6’5” and 210lbs, not huge but bigger than most in high school. By college I was 240lbs. A couple comments:
I have no idea if I can fight. Honestly, I’ve always been so big no one has ever tried to fight me. Size doesn’t make you a good fighter but I’ve always been big enough that I think picking a fight with me is too much of a hassle.
I don’t run my mouth either. I don’t go around instigating and I’ve always tried to settle disputes with words.
If someone attacked me or someone I care about or I just needed to step in, I’d step in, it’s just never happened in 46 years of life.
