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 do however feel blessed that I wasn’t physically harmed as I have read so much about knife crime, it’s so, so scary.

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.@SW-User

@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.
