because when I walk around my house at night I fear random encounters.
My fear is heightened because most of the time I am weaponless and nsfwmostly naked. This leaves me very vulnerable to attack and my hand-to-hand combat skills are at their minimum, meaning I would die quickly whilst doing minimal damage to my assailant, be it man or beast (or machine).
So I present to you, readers of General Chat, these questions.
1) Do you constantly take account of your surroundings and attempt to defend yourself in the best way possible? Are you ever watchful for would-be attackers? Do you practice constant vigilance? Do you consider how you would deal with an attack?
2) Have any popular media affected your life such that they have changed your outlook on the world? This could be video games, movies, music, comic books, ANYTHING.
Yes, I'm paranoid.
