Have you ever been really scared?

I got mugged by a small group of teenage girls in London a couple of years ago, one of them pulled a knife out and I just totally wet myself I was that frozen with fear. They were trying to get my wallet and phone but actually gave up because I just couldn’t function. I’d gone there on a Saturday, on my own on the train and it turned out to be one of the worst days of my life. The police took so long to arrive that I basically had to go back to the train station straight after I’d finished talking to them and I could feel every person I walked past, looking at me knowing that I had wet myself. I’ll literally never go to London again.

I have been bullied by a bunch of girls too. I was coming back from the hospital late in the evening one night and this little must have been 5 or 6 appears from round the corner. I got somewhat down the road when this bunch is little chav girls stopped me. "Did you start on that little girl?" one of them asked. Lol like wtf. I said no, I've just come from the hospital. One of them mimicked me saying that in a stupid voice. I turned around and walked away from them.

@Strongtea They were horrid 😠

They sound it! Honestly I was crying and shaking for ages afterwards! I was supposed to be going to the Tate modern afterwards but I couldn’t. I had to wait for the police etc.@Matt85

@Matt85 you good man?

That must have been a terrible experience, being mugged by those girls! I can easily understand you were terrfied by the experience. The good thing was that you were not hurt physically, and that they obviously also didn't get your mobile phone or wallet. The only damage done was perhaps you wetting your pants, which of course was embarrassing enough. I can easily understand you have no wishes to go to London again!

Yes, I have had some nightmares and some issues with bed wetting since but it’s been a few months since that’s happened.@Tintin18

Tintin18 · 18-21, M

@Strongtea great that you have not continued wetting the bed! 👍

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Yes, it wasn’t a very cool part of my life. I hope that’s all over now, it’s a big reason why I don’t want to visit London again.@Tintin18

Never been that scared to wet myself. I’m very well aware of my surroundings, and I try to avoid putting myself in tough spots like that.

One time, I took a shortcut walking home into a strange area. There was a group of 10-20 black teenage kids. There was a chubby, tall kid that easily stood 6ft with the rest of them following him. He crossed the street towards me and said “give me your money.” His friends followed real close behind him, so it’s me alone with more than 10 of them. I was speed-walking in the first place since I was in a rush to get home. I didn’t slow down, so the leader realized I wasn’t going to be an easy target and he quickly fucked off.

I’m glad you got away unscathed!! That could have been really bad if you hadn’t.@Dethmoore

@Strongtea right. I’m a bit faster than the average people. Being quick on my feet makes it hard for people to keep up. That and being aware of my surroundings make me into one of those gazelles or antelope that are always on the lookout and can outrun predators. Just something to think about concerning safety.

Thanks I’m always on high alert nowadays!!!@Dethmoore

Raaii · 22-25, F

Thank God
You're safe

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Thankyou, I do think about it quite often, it could have been so different if I tried to argue or put up a fight. 🙏🏻@Raaii

@Strongtea There's no shame in it

Strongtea · 22-25, M

I wish everyone thought that, people still joke about it happening to me😳@CursedFurudeRika

CursedFurudeRika · 22-25

@Strongtea I'm sure if I still knew people from high school they'd call me Stinky.

😂

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Again, it’s not funny. I could have been hurt!@ExtremeNext

I've had a group of armed men break into my home and hurt me.
It took some time to not be in constant fear.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Oh my gosh! I literally don’t know what I’d do if that happened. I suppose I would just totally freeze again. I really hope you’re ok?!!@thinkingoutloud

thinkingoutloud · F

@Strongtea I did freeze. I expected to be dead that day but for some miraculous reason I lived. I am okay now, I can think of it without breaking out in fear.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

I’m glad you’re ok! @thinkingoutloud

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

I have worried about gangs of roving girls and now you have confirmed it.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

It’s not too bad where I live, but in big cities they are really scary.@atlantic59
