imma be moving to a new area soon where a group of friends is already established. I assume at some point people will test me to see what im made of . it kind of creates a nervousness because ive never really stood up for myself so i have no experience in that area of life. How do I know when its happening and what do I do? I need my respect

What age group is this?

Just get on your knees and open your mouth it will be over quicker then u think

19 - 23

bro im not joking i really want to know

im crowdsourcing male guidance rn

Whatever you do. Make sure you're getting respect, while showing it.

Don't be outchea respecting these folks and then they're walking all over you

The f***

what is weird abt this? people do this.

yeah I don't really have a good understanding of respect. It's one of those words I never really understood tbh. But I know I need it

Yeah like if you trynna join a gang or someshit, why the f*** would they tryna test you?

They’re basically going to check to see if u can hold your own when the group turns against u.

Hole yout self confidence high & itll be hard for them to f*** with u

Just be yourself.

That's basically what it is

I haven't been around a large amount of people in like a year thats why I need a reminder.

How 2 self confidence?

Naw,i mean like a street gang, Not a gang like ”the gang” on It’s always sunny,

don't worry op i can test you and let them know

Take a break or at least slow down on social media, & try to find a couple little things you can improve on yourself to raise self worth.

Stopping negative self talk and replacing it with optimism works best too

Dont be too serious, laugh jokes off or roast back but dont let them b**** you lol

I know what tf u meant.

im not white lol . just a nigga who went to private school

They won’t necessarily test you
Especially since they’re close to 20 and above
Just be cool and relax

The f***, so you’re joining a gang but don’t know how to stand up for yourself?

Wtf lol

Ok dis weird

Speak up if someone crosses your boundary. If u mean roasting or w/e idk just don’t take it so serious
