Kseer,
I have to agree with what Mike and Happy Cat said. Self confidence will take care of most of your problems. If you learn to carry your self right and learn to become more aware of your surroundings then you will avoid most problems. Happy Cat is right... bully's are able to pick up when people have low self confidence and low self esteem so when you take that away you also take away that target they are looking for.
I also think you should do group classes as well as personal or private lessons if you are able to. Make sure that you are able to spar at the classes. I am not suggesting that you spar right away but you will need to spar. When you are sparring don't worry about getting hit or taken down because that is all part of it and that is how you learn. Sparring is where you hone your skills and develop your timing and movement.
Good luck
