when you go out, do you fear anyone starting trouble with you

i have this deep fear of anyone nefarious approaching me or starting trouble with me when i go out...i think the fear is inbuilt because of my past where i was violently attacked in public numerous times because i had anger outbursts and provoked comebacks from it..

now i have a bit of ptsd from those attacks in the distant past, so when i go out i feel very on edge and anxious....paranoid too.

is there a way to get over this i wonder? and how safe do you feel outside?

I feel perfectly safe outside. I've never been in a fight in my life. I do live in the hood though, so there's always the possibility of being an innocent bystander during a drive by.
