Working away from a fight does not make you look less of a human, it shows you are mature to not allow minor issues get through you. You are not a coward for walking away from fight.
It is very necessary to walk away from flights and disputes, especially when you are in a corporate environments. Most of your colleagues can be manipulative when they get jealous, what they will do is an attempt to trigger you by disrespecting and pouring insults on you. They don't really issues with you, their sole aim is just to take you out, by exposing your lack of self control to your boss who favours you.
In everywhere you find yourself be careful, learn how to mange and control your emotions. You don't have to react to everything, don't fall into every offence trap set for you. Never make your downfall seem so easy by letting people control and manipulate your emotions.
Control your pride and ego, don't be a victim of emotional blackmail.
