It's never ok to live in fear, trust me. By standing up for yourself (including your loved ones), you're setting a good example of what a real man is supposed to be like. As a man, your job is to protect your loved ones, not hide in fear. If you hide in fear, people are going to disrespect you just for that. Every time you avoid your problems, God will always make sure that you'll face them eventually until you learn to deal with them.
If you saw your best friend getting beat up by somebody, are you going to jump in and fight the guy, or run away and allow him to wail on him like that?
