It's simple. If they come to you, you can't show weakness. Try to protect yourself. Because they eat hard and are afraid of softness. Even if you hurt them, let them know that you are not weak.

Besides, if they don't look for you, don't mess with them. They're not like you. They speak differently, dare not do the same thing, and have different futures.

If I were you, I would take some self-defense equipment. If they come, show them. If they threaten you, you can stab them in the arm or thigh. Just poke it. This is a once and for all solution.
