Is it just me, or is it really worrying?
I'm really paranoid on the streets: crossing roads if someone looks slightly dodgy, always putting my phone in my bag, finding the best possible escape route...
Am I overreacting? Or is it something other people worry about too?

If one day it is you turn to be a victim, you'll be, no need to be to paranoid...
But in some places I am careful too, it depends where you go...
But it is worst and worst that's for sure...
I've been involved in a street attacks before. Six big lads, by supprise, from behind, in the dark, 10 feet from my front door. It was very unfair, I know, but I had a bad day at work that day so I made an example of them I have also recieved stitches from blocking a bottle in a pub fight (I deflected it away from my neck/chest, but it slicled my hand open) - since then I have learnt to look big and small depending on the crowds.
I think you have a suspicious personality - Its a good thing.
So true :yes:
Thats very similar to me. These muggers arent going to go near you if you look like you'd be able to defend yourself. Stand tall and make people scared of you
Im more careful with my bag and stuff if im in a city. I feel safer if im around my home town for some reason (probably false sense of security) but ive never been mugged or attacked yet.
The trick is to not act cocky but to act as if, if need be, you can hold your ground and not take any shit. Only the other day I was taking my ps2 with a big bunch of games into town to sell for a bit of pocket money and two blacks lads shouted "oi!" to me (obviously spotting my bulging bag with ps2 inside it) while walking through a dingy underpass that's pretty dodgy at the best of times. If i'd have run or acted shit scared chances are I would have got mugged, but I stood my ground and went "what..?". The walked up to me and asked where I was going, I told them and asked 'em what it was to them.
They were trying to be intimidating, but turned out they were alright and were just trying to do the same as me, sell an mp3 player they had for a bit of pocket money (though it was probably robbed) but didn't have any ID. In the end, we walked down to the shop, had a bit of a chat and I made a nice crisp fiver for selling it for them - get in!
Like animals, they'll smell fear. Don't let them have the satisfaction.
So you're selling stolen goods now, you cant sink much lower can you.
It's not what it sounds like! They just needed an extra tenner for another rock of crack.
Which I'm sure you were only happy to provide. You're a sucker fish arent you, feeding on the depraved scraps which fall down to your level.
It's a nasty job but someone has to provide the service!
"Sucking the half-arsed morals and conscience from low-lives in a town near you!"
Morals! You'd have to know what they even vaguely looked like before you could have anything to do with them. You've wallowed in sin and depravity for so long I doubt you can even understand normal emotions.
That picture does look a bit like you, the mouth looks very similar.
That's simply not true. I detect jealousy.
And you! You can close it before it even opens y'hear.
We know your type. There's only one motive behind you working at the chemists, and it's disgusting.
Jealous? Of your looks?
You cant silence us all z0ma, we know what you're really like. The noose is tightening.
I have contacts. The Yardies will soon be aware of your route back from work, watch our back.
And I'm not into your dodgy asphyxiation fetishes. I'll stick to that other one you have a passion for thankyou (see you at 3.30).
You wont know till you try.
Yes you're overreacting.
Gotta quit the smoke then mate!
I am just paranoid anyways...
i just walk quickly and dont get my mobile out or anything
i live to close to get a taxi so i dont really have much choice,
