"Scared of the outside"

Is it just me? Hmm, probably is.

But I get so scared less when I walk around at night/late afternoon I don't just mean wander around. If I go places, I get really scared that someone is gonna come up behind me and grab my bag or pull me into a bush and do horrible stuff.

I look friggin paranoid and stupid constantly looking around. It shows real bad.

Do I have a right to feel like this because of all the crap that goes on?
Does anyone else feel like this? I know most of ye are boys but don't you get at least a *little* worried some weirdo pervert pig prat is gonna jump on you?

Come back 70s.. so we can leave our front doors open again!! 70s/80s? I don't know! Well, I never managed to experience being able to leave your doors open! But it sounds nice.

Here are some better phobias:
Allodoxaphobia- Fear of opinions.
Ambulophobia- Fear of walking.
Barophobia- Fear of gravity.
Bufonophobia- Fear of toads.
Deipnophobia- Fear of dining or dinner conversations
Geniophobia- Fear of chins
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.
Logophobia- Fear of words.

There is just a selection of the greatest ever phobias.

If I'm walking past a gang and I'm on my own, then I'm quite scared. But other than that, I feel quite safe.

Woah! They are good. Thanks for looking!

The whole ultraviolet idea is good, I'd never even heard of it.

You can get them without the stupid little pin thing; i did a search:

My personal favorite is "The Alert" which promises an "ear splitting 138 decibel output". beautiful. For a pinch at under 10 quid.

What if they steal the pin you have to put back in to stop it?

I only carry a knife for show - nobody is going to do anything to you when you wave a 6 inch knife in their face. Their expression is quite funny sometimes.

Ooh, no. I wouldn't really carry a knife.

And where exactly can you get those siren things. I remember setting it off once in a car when I was young not knowing what it did.. Horrible horrible noise!!

Maybe don't be so stupid as to carry a knife, but carry one of those siren things that sound like the world is ending when you press it. You could also have some pepper spray for when its Mr/Mrs.Nasty time.

Learnt something new.. interesting. I just thought it was unheard of. I remember my dad saying something about a man grabbing him in the 70s when he was little, and.. well, just thought it was unheard of!

Y'know. I never even thought about carrying a knife, maybe I should just in case.. hehe. Maybe I should get a liscense for a gun. Holding a gun always made me giggle. Not that I've held one of course. Never. Ahem.

Yeah, I'm paranoid. Don't mind going out with mates, but on my own...
