alot of women do not feel safe even in their own communities, i know i do not like being home alone, i check and recheck all the windows and doors in my apartment when my roommate is not home, when walking distances i carry mase and my cell phone, if it is starting to get dark i have a friend on the line (they all know what a scardy cat i am) and i tell them where i am incase they would hear a scuffle, my friends are pretty good abotu this and patronaize me, i know i live in a city where it is dangerous i also know that i am more scared than i should be, but it really is better to be more catoius, you dont need to dress like a boy, just carry yourself like you are confident, and reason with yourself, that helps too! GOOD LUCK! you will be fine!!

Darling if your scared of something like this you shouldnt be if you think that where you live isnt a good place to live move somewhere else or if you cant afford to buy a place somewhere you can im sure get some pretty cheep cameras that you install infront of the house so if someone does push you into a car it will get recorded in de camera and you can catch the person who has done it to you...! Theres is nothing to be scared of

do you live in a really bad area or have you had previous experience of this why don't you try tomorrow walking 1 step out your door without a knife then the next day 2 steps until you can reach your mail box without the knife good luck if that don't work seek professional advice

It would be helpful if you had a big mean-looking dog to walk with you. The best way to face unrealistic fears such as yours is to do it through the fear. Don't give in to it. We see so many horrible things on TV and in the papers that sometimes we get obsessively worried about what may happen to us. If you live in a dangerous neighborhood, you might wait till someone could go with you but you can't spend a lifetime in fear of what might happen. Get some help from your local mental health clinic if necessary.

Yeah where do you live? and why are you so frightened? maybe you should invest in some pepper spray to make yourself feel safer. Most of the time a predator can sense when some one is scared and its what they feed off of you should try to gain some power over that fear and not be so vulnerable in it. Or maybe even a self defense class would help you confidence. :D
