    I'm naive.

    I live in an apartment complex that requires a fob and a code to get into and my housemate is a complete tit who keeps losing his keys so a lot of the time I have to leave the apartment door unlocked so he can get in and out. I wouldn't be naive enough to believe we won't get robbed but when we're on a middle floor and our apartment is right the way down the far end of a hallway with no sort of fire escape or other exit nearby I wouldn't rank our chances that high outside of getting untrustworthy neighbours who break in.

    Which in hindsight happened when I was a kid so... yea... should probably get said housemate to stop being lazy and get a keycut.

    The door is locked pretty much all the time, unless I go out without my keys, then I make sure to unlock the door so I don't lock myself out. You see, the handle doesn't lock on itself from the inside as if it was locked, so it's quite easy to forget that the door is actually locked when you go out, unless you unlocked it before.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I'm in between naive and paranoid, whenever I am home in the summer it's unlocked. But it's cold out so it's locked and shut tightly.
    Creativity is certainly about not being constrained by rules or accepting the restrictions that society places on us. Of course the more people break the rules, the more likely they are to be perceived as ‘mentally ill’

    Since I live in a house a ways off from anything except for the much bigger and fancier house in front of mine blocking it, the door is unlocked.

    I'm not paranoid; I live in a city.

    I live with a paranoid person so both front and back doors are always locked.

    My mom will sometimes forget to lock the door before going to bed and it drives me insane.

    Hey everyone. I'm sitting on your couch right now. And I must say, you shouldn't lie about locking your doors.

    Never. Literally never. Except at night, and even then I forget sometimes. Same with my car.

    But in case any criminals and/or stalkers are reading, I have a killer bloodthirsty pit bull for a built-in alarm system, so stay the hell out.

    I always keep it locked. Not out of paranoia or anything, but in case I would forget to lock it before I go to sleep or something.

    Also, somehow it helps me feel more like I'm in a private place lol.
