MY FIRST SCARY EXPERIENCE IN HOUSTON

[endtroducing10 0]

Hi ,

Yesterday i went to the dentist and had two teeth abstracted. The pain afterwards was unbearable. That is not the scary bit. I was walking home afterwards not to far only takes 10 minutes. There where these two men walking just in front of me. I thought nothing of it. I was going to cross the road into the area where our complex is where we live i noticed one crossed over about 50 yards in front of me . The other one stayed in the middle of the inter section was watching me. There was another man in a pick - up on the corner. Now i,m getting scared as i kept thinking this is a set up. Something is going to happen to me. So i thougght quickly back tracked myself to the Shopping area. I have never been so scared in my life. You have to watch what is going on around you all the time. I"ll never walk alone again.

I thought i give you my first scary experience.

You were probably just being paranoid. It's extremely unlikely that a stranger will mess with you, particularly three of them, particularly in broad daylight.

I know it's scary and all being in a new place, but relax!

I totally disagree, If there was going to be any crime commited, No matter which country, State or town, Crimes are commited in broad daylight, The OP mentioned a pick up truck, You were NOT being paranoid, Just very cautious in observing your surroundings.

I always tell my fiancee to keep her wits about her by checking her car before getting in, Especially if she gets an instinct that someone is trailing her to go into a crowded vicinity, Even if she was in my country (UK), Same difference....

Must of been scary, But i commend your strategy, Well done

I grew up in one of America's most violent cities; I do know how to keep my wits about myself. I would not have been scared in that situation.

Being scared is a natural feeling of being in a situation where there is a flight or fight, It's part of our "trust your instinct", Obviously you choose to fight, But in the situation by the OP, The flight became her natural instinct which the conclusion turned out her being safe
