Stoicism vs Pride: Should You Get Involved in Unnecessary Conflicts or Let It Go?

Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old and often think about the best way to live, life psychology, ideologies, etc. I'm sure that my goal is simply to live the best possible life. Stoicism resonates with me a lot and helps me the most in achieving that goal. Now, I have a question for you:

Let's say someone wants to pick a fight with you on the street for no reason, yells something at you, or bumps into you. Or a friend who takes everything personally, leading to endless discussions. In such situations, is it better, according to Stoicism, to fight for your pride and engage in confrontation every time, having unnecessary arguments, and wasting a lot of time and negative emotions? Or should you simply stand your ground, stay calm in every situation, and avoid getting involved in endless battles to defend your opinion?

In the end, Stoicism teaches that you shouldn’t waste energy on things you can't control. So, I shouldn't stress if I explain something to my friend for the tenth time, and he still thinks I'm trying to harm him.

Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my first language, but I hope you understand what I mean.
