Both

You need to be well rounded

Boxing, best for multiple opponents Bjj, best for one opponent

Register with an MMA gym and do both.

BJJ has more mental benefits but isn't complete in terms of self-defense. In order to be a well-rounded fighter you will also have to learn wrestling.

Try them and decide for yourself. Most gyms will offer the first class for free. Also try Muay thai while you're at it.

don't spar too hard if you do boxing unless you wanna lose a couple of IQ points

BJJ. Take them down with a clinch and choke them out

Do boxing for a year and you will be able to beat the shit out of anyone who doesn't train.

Train bjj for life because you WILL fall in love with it.

I’ve trained both. Go for boxing. And go to an actual boxing gym. Don’t train boxing at an MMA gym.

I bet girls would think it’s sexier if you boxed than if you did bjj. Both are cool though.

Try both of them out, and go with the one you enjoy more first. I personally enjoy bjj more, but you gotta be mindful of bigger guys. In boxing you won't ever spar with them, but it's not at all uncommon to roll with someone who weighs 50+ pounds than you. Keep that shit to a minimum, and only do it with the higher belts. Rolling with a big ass white belt is just begging for an injury to happen.
