When I was a kid, my mom told me to stand up to bullies in the worst way: She told me to just hit them back.
It was bad. I was constantly getting into fights because when I felt uncomfortable I'd resort to aggression immediately.
Eventually I realized on my own that violence wasn't the answer, and there were ways to manage bullies that were more effective and didn't require being all aggro.
Sometimes, it's better to just read the room.

Sometimes, but sometimes reading the room is figuring out how things work rather than arrogantly walking in and expecting everyone to play by your rules.
