If some of this discussion makes you feel anxious, that’s okay. Knowing what situations make you uncomfortable is the first step toward learning to cope with them. You can begin by looking at what other people do to feel safer in those situations. Other productive thing you can do right away is to research criminal mentality. Know where the criminal is going to pounce and where he could come into your home and compromise your home safety. Once you understand and become aware of how different crimes are committed, you will gain confidence that you can then use that knowledge to prevent them from happening to you.
