/tough/hard/other words that mean the same thing

i am pretty meek.
im jumpy, cant watch horror movies (except bad 80's ones <3) and still think the texas chainsaw man is going to slice me up everytime i have to run up the stairs in the dark.
also i know how ridiculously puny and weak i am so that does make me worry how i'll fare if i do get attacked :(

HOWEVER when reece got attacked at the train station a few months back (they wanted the doob in his pocket) i jumped on the guy who had jumped on steve and pounded his back screaming "get the phuck of him, GET THE PHUCK OFF, PHUCK OFF" rather boldly, i must say. and we emerged truimphant (this was mostly due to reece, im pretty sure the guy wasn't too bothered by my efforts but anyway)
nobody messes with my man!
but if anyone just attacked me, i'd be a complete wuss :(

so are you BRAVE?
