Back in my fraternity in college one of the frat brothers was a 6’ 4” 320lb OT on the football team. He was the nicest guy around. Never looked to confront anyone. So one day this smaller guy tries to take advantage of him by pushing him more than once. The big guy just kept telling him to stop before he got mad. The little guy told him he did not have the guts to make him stop. Long story short, the smaller guy ended up thru the wall up to his chest out stone cold.

That was me as a kid. The big kid called fat by some, and always had to deal with what I called “Little man Syndrome”. I was only in 3 fights in my life, and all 3 were with someone half my size trying to prove himself to his buddies.
None succeeded, with me anyway.
Actually had someone say in the middle of one of those fights, after I had given the little guy every chance to walk away, and had tried to myself several times, “Pick on someone your own size!”. I was angry by then and spun around and said “How about you?”. They left the scene rapidly.
