Guys: Are you ever afraid of getting attacked in public?

[Deleted member 23374]

It depends on my mood. A death in any direction is a fair possibility.
I pray for it when i have blood in my eye.
Another reason to stay away from people.
So fear yes but, not for myself.

I'm scared to be alone with any men. I've had a couple of real estate agents when I was looking at houses get awfully close and pin me up against a wall, or trap me in a tiny room, alone, sort of testing out what I would do. Things like this happen a lot. Big parking lots also are a danger zone. I had to quit a good job due to the boss putting his hands on me. There are all kinds of things I could mention like this. Things that are preludes to assault.

This.
Being alone in a closed room with a stranger (male) is my personal nightmare.
I'm sorry so many bad things have happened to you and you had to endure their unbelievable behavior. :(

I got mugged 4 years ago. Started by 2 blokes asking me for directions to a train station. His passenger asked for a cigarette and I told him I don't have one. He wasn't taking a no for an answer.

Anyway, I walked away and they drove away until a car pulled up opposite me. I turned round and all I can see was their headlights. Again car drove off into a road that bends and brings you back on the main road. I saw headlight approaching from my right, and I knew it was gonna be them! Had that vibe. It was them!

The car came to a screeching halt and the one threatening me for a cigarette got out, I actually thought it was over a cigarette and all I could think was punching this man in the jaw and get out of there!

His mate also got out, a tall man, and face covered. I knew from that moment "Shi*t" haha. I remember this gobby lad throwing a punch to my face and I moved my head at the right time! Adrenaline is a brilliant thing! Felt like time slowed down a quarter of a second.

Unfortunately I had bad footwear and couldn't out run this guy and ended up giving my wallet over! £50 and a picture of my father who passed away. The picture is the one thing I miss. But, I do think had that punch connected I would have been brought to the ground and who knows if they both would have stopped there.

Played on my mind for years but, I've gotten over it now. I know longer go out late at night. Around 3:30 am this happened. Due to what was going on I didn't get a glimpse of their number plate. They got away. I just hope no one else suffered too much at the hands of these monsters!

I would be if I ever went outside. Its a big part of why I don't go outside. Or let people I don't know in. I'm fine by myself where at least I KNOW that the only person around hates me and wants to kill me, most people don't give you that kind of courtesy.

Not in the slightest. I walk around after dark with headphones on with 0 fucks given. I feel like Michael Myers, sometimes i'll walk through sketchy areas on purpose. The thought of being attacked and fighting for my life sounds like a good time, even if I die, whatever, no fucks given. If my city wasn't as safe as it is, i'd likely have been attacked years ago.

I honestly want to go to war, to die for something....or die for nothing, doesn't even matter anymore. The thought of dying while fighting is a nice thought for me.

Would be pretty based if someone randomly murdered me
