Sooo I usually don’t feel scared walking alone. I live in a small town and everyone knows each other. There’s never been a time when I’ve been worried or scared. Now when I am out of state yes I do worry a little because I have no idea who anyone is or what their intentions are. Sooo like- When its light outside no I won’t be scared bc well its day and a lot of crime happens at night or maybe im making up bs because ion know what im talking ab ANYWAY UM at night though in another state/city I keep myself guarded more than I normally do cuz like I said I don’t know anyone or their intentions…and when some random human just walks up to u- thats creepy- please dont ever do that bc you’re gonna give me the wrong idea and I’ll swing on you-

Also I could be making no sense so if I don’t make sense ignore it thanks :blue_heart:

People can be so gross sometimes :pleading_face:

I can’t think of anyone who actually enjoys the attention that catcalls bring–it’s very different from someone just telling you that you’re attractive in a respectful way

yes, i agree. i find catcalling so disrespectful. it’s different to tell someone they look cute, nice, or beautiful, but when they catcall them it feels like i’m a piece of item for them to stare at
