I'd like to throw in a scenario that I believe shows the most strength. People who don't defend themselves because they are so secure in who they are, they don't waste their energy.
Which leads me to ask, what kind of defending are we even talking about?
This ^
I don't need to "ask myself" anything. I already know. However, you're primary point might be in order. What is the fun in this, to whomever finds this fun? (I guess it was wrong of me and I shouldn't exclude her, or, at least, look like I am excluding her, with my original question. Many pardons.)

That really depends on the situation. Sometimes you do not only defend yourself, but your position or the way other people see you. The best defense is offense and the best offense is in the shadows or in a classy way. The one i like most is total victory(mostly because its a challenge and its fun to go through it, win or lose), but many frown upon it.
Take these statements^ metaphorically and apply them to any and all situations.
If i am in the company of friends, for example, i rarely feel the need to defend myself from anyone outside this company, as i am very secure in myself and in the attitudes that my friends have towards me and in my trust towards them. But if i am in a room of people who just met me, its best not to be passive, but also do not be super aggressive, unless the room is full with a bunch of punks or something lol. Like i said, it depends on the situation. Everything has its own variables to consider.

Partially kidding. When am I not? But my cynicism prevents my own enjoyment, sorry. I prefer a live, interactive Sugar. Much more fun to see dynamics in-action without time to formulate.
And you wont catalog the life and interactive Sugar?
You will lose data and details.
And thats just a shame.
This thread is a perfect data mine. Its exactly what i require for my own needs.

You're kidding, right? This is character analysis, what's not to love?
These sorts of topics are some of the best. They add so much flavorful subtext. For the one being analyzed, it gives room to be understood and promotes introspection.
