How do you deal with Cowards!?

Yep, he's a coward indeed! Normally, I don't deal with them since I know that I would only be wasting my precious time. He feels that way, then so be it. If that's what makes him happy, then I let him live his life that way. As long as that person doesn't attack me or create such offensive move against me, then that's about the time I'd cross the line. If he wants to raise hell, then I'd face him head-on. If he seeks help from his relatives, then so shall I too. Because here in my place, we still practice close family ties and that's where you can count mostly on them..

All cowards in the sense you are talking about are bullies. I have found the best way to handle such cowards is to stand up to them. Stand your ground and look them in the eye. And make sure you have something funny to say! LOL Humor is the best tension diffuser there is. On the net, it's harder of course, and often it's better to just stay away from them. But sometimes, they 'follow' you like a dog with a bone and just won't let you be. In this instance, if you must, answer them with logic, truth and yes humor. Cowards and bullies thrive on confrontation and getting under your skin. If you don't allow that, they will move on to easier targets. Then of course there are the manic types on whom logic, reason and humor are unfathomable concepts and truth is a foreign language. Depending on the provocation, I will either play with them or just stay away from them. It depends solely on the nature of their obsession. Whether a coward comes at me singly or in a group, no matter what THEY may believe about their affect on me personally, it's of no account to me. It's when they go after innocents that they will see the side of me that eventually will (and has) defeat them. I'm patient. That's the best tool in my arsenal of defence. That and logic. Drives them right up the wall! And that is always fun to watch. LOL

I am disdainful of them whenever they come to my attention. I am just indifferent to them most of the time. If there are things, traits or people that I don't like, I just ignore them. I don't dwell on them and cause myself undue strain. I have better use of my time. I also know a neighbor who are like your neighbor and I never exchange more than 10 words with that person in the last 10 years. LOL! I just ignore them. I don't care what they do as long as they don't affect me and my family. I go my own way and they go their own way. I find it to be better that way.

When I deal with cowards I tent to put pressure on them a lot into making them do what I want them to do. I deal with cowards all the time so I am just used to it I guess.

I have not known many cowards but I met a bus driver a few years ago who I would say wasa coward. The man in the seat in front of me said something nasty to a bigger man across the aisle. the fight got really bad and the bus driver just kept driving. well the big man pulled the smaller man out of his seat and was trying to punch him. I yelled at the bus driver who did pull over. I said help that guy . hes being really hurt. the driver just stood there. I grabbed my heavy handbad and whomped the bigger guy on the head .It did not stop him and all the men on the bus just sat there. so the woman behind me had a bag full of books and she hit him so hard he stopped and just sat there. this woman and I managed to get the littler man back up onto the bus seat.by this time the police had arrived and I got off the bus. that driver was a real coward and a really big man who could have intervened but did nothing.

For them in my opinion is practice in their life,and we can help them to try,when they have a successful experience they will feel,may be it is not bad.

those type of people are emtionally unstable and probably have pyschological issues they need to deal with .... they obviously have a fear of fitting in .... where they would be nice to you to please you and your expectations and then totally run riot when their 'army' comes to fulfil their " army's", expectations, their ability to change personalities isnt healthy and they should never be trusted

since your asking for opinions, i would gladly voice out what i think should be done with cowards. cowardness is the result of fear and fear is the result of mainly not knowing what's ahead. i said mainly because there are a lot of minute things that could cause people to fear something. i would say that this coward of yours needs a friend because apparently he wants to attrack attention. like you said, sometimes the coward would appear nice and then the next the coward is bitting you butt. i would say befriend the coward and let the coward learn from you. i say you because you seem to be the kind of person who knows what he's talking about. so this is your chance to change people from being a coward to become the braves person living in your locality. if you just stand in one spot and don't do anything to change something, nothing is going to change to the betterment of the society. stand up and tell the coward person to stop what he's doing and become a hero. this is my opinions about cowards. i will accept that i have been a coward sometime in my life and i am pretty sure so as everybody else. you might not realize it because it has been a small spec in our lives but we have all experienced being a coward in our lives.

Good Evening Kamran, :))) I have found the cowards I have run across full of hot air. Lots of big puffed up talk, boosting of accomplishments that never have any evidence of having actually happened. I treat them at first with humor, and when I have had enough, all I usually have to do is stand my ground and they run for the hills. I see it in some of the good ole boys around here where I live. Redneck mentality. They don't scare me or faze me a bit

I do know people like that. I just treat them politely when I am faced with them and find a way to move on rather quickly. I feel bad that somewhere in their lives something caused such low esteem but i'm not a shrink and i wouldn;t know how to help them and so i don't get very close to them.

i never meet a coward. i don't know what kind of people they are, what their threats, attitude and what inside their mind. maybe if i meet one of them i will not trust them immediately, i wanted to know first their abckground from others.

When i was at school this one guy always sucked up to me because a few years before that we had a fight (fist fight) and i smashed him. Now he is really nice to me and it gets really annoying. Because he is a coward alot of people picked on him. My friend who was 6ft 1 at the time was friends with him and told him to stick up for himself. He did and they stopped picking on him, for awhile. They started again and the 6ft 1 guy came into it and they havent bullied him since. So i say... let them know they can actually can do things.
