So Im sure a lot of us have seen those hidden camera shows that watch how people react to stomach churning social situations. Well on my way out to my car tonight I saw one of the kids that lives around me with his gf. He was walking and grabbing her wrist then tugging on her arm hard like he was throwing a 5 year old temper tantrum. I wasnt sure though if he was just dicking around or actually hurting her. He then like bear hugged her and smashed her up against him hard 2 times as I was getting out of my car to say something he grabbed her wrist then snapped it back towards her and then walked away yelling. Now I feel like a dick for not jumping to action before the bear hugs. Since I wasnt sure I didnt want to be the guy who says someones beating on their girlfriend when there just joking around. I was unsure if it was a guy who lived around me, so I went to my roommate and asked if it was the same kid he saw earlier in the week. It was. What he saw a week ago was the same shit but in another area of our neighborhood and the cops showed up. So realizing that I waited just a second to long to confront him screwed up my chances of doing something. I tried saying something to the girl as she ran back into their place and he walked away but idk if she heard me or not. I informed the correct resources and filed a report.
Most of us would say something if they were in a group of people. When your alone though you tend to try to over analyse the situation before speaking out and usually its to late by then.
So how long does it take you guys in real social situations where you are alone to actually speak up to something ridiculous? and youve been in that situation before what happened?
