I feel like an arsehole

I stood up for my boundaries and my self respect, and my boss feels that all i did was make a situation worse. I work at a pub as a cellar man doing tasks like line cleaning and counting in the delivery. On Halloween the pub ran a fancy dress karaoke night that I took part in. Had a great time.

End of the night i go to say goodnight to the landlady and her fella, and they are being yelled at by a drunk regular. I have been asked by them to not get involved so I stand a little to the side and wait for an opportunity to say goodbye. I seem to have been too close however the drunk then rounded on me.

As I was told bot to provoke anything I stood still and let the fool vent his speen, when he ran out of steam said goodnight and made to leave. The bar manager then said to me that I should have backed down and the landlady concurred.

Many if my personal confidence issue stem from school bulling and have promised myself to not allow that situation happen again. I feel that backing away would just encouraged the drunk to continue abusing me and the landlady etc. am I wrong in this? This is a new attitude for me and I want to be confident I didn’t overstep.

I would appreciate your feedback.
