Feeling Scared at Night...

[I_love_rain_hugs_and_you]

I want to know how many other people out there feel really scared sometimes when they are out at night. For me, tonight I was sitting next to an obvious gang member who was carving his gangs symbol into the bus window, and I was quite worried about this guy (he was carving his symbol with a knife).

 

I usually am not too scared at night, but there are certain "bad" areas that I sometimes have to travel through, and they scare me...maybe scared is the wrong word...they concern me. My own area (where I live) is very safe, and I feel free to wonder out at any time, but in other areas, I really do feel concerned at night. Even though I am a guy, and I am tall, and really am very strong, I still feel concerned. SO I was wondering, do most other people feel this way? Or am I just worrying too much?

I feel concerned too. I'm not very big or very strong (have done kickboxing for a few years, so I think I can defend myself) but I know I feel concerned as well in those situations. Just ignore him. Imagine you are somewhere else. The more comfortable you look, the better it is for you.

Don't worry about it I_love_rain_hugs_and_you. Everyone gets concerned when put into a situation they're not familiar with or sure of. Just because you're a man doesn't mean you're not allowed to be scared.

 

You're certainly not worrying too much. In fact, I think that your concern when in those situations could come in handy at some point. Who knows what may happen? I'm hoping that nothing does, but still, a healthy dose of paranoia and fear is never a bad thing.

Just don't be to scared or they might smell it . . . You know . . . like how THEY say dogs can smell fear . People can sense it also .

 

I think it's normal . It's a good idea to be cautious in areas like that .
