Does anyone ever feel unsafe in their own home..?

[reece(:]

I'm currently a frantic mess because some hooded figure's just thrown a brick and concrete through my neighbour's window and I thought someone was breaking in downstairs... stuff like this makes me feel really unsafe in my house as well as noises at night and stuff (I live in a rough estate) .. does anyone else get like this?

[Tom4784]

Not anymore, I was a bit nervous for a while a few years back when a masked person was wondering around my back garden in the middle of the night but these days I'd be more likely to chase them off or something.

Only for silly reasons. Like after I watch a horror movie or something like that. I do usually get kind of nervous when I'm locking all of the doors at night. I don't know why though, I just get scared that somebody's going to come and stop me from locking up:laugh:

I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not home in my own home
And I've tried and tried,
To say what's on my mind
You should have known!

I'm like that... I cant look through windows at night

[Lee.]

No not at all. I actually had to go out tonight and leave the door unlocked, but I didn't worry at all whilst I was out :)

[Lee.]

I know exactly what you mean! Even if I hear something outside, I won't go and look out the window as there might, just might be a face looking back at you :/

[King Gizzard]

our door goes directly out onto the pavement so i'm always weary when someone is walking past, but I'd probably batter them anyway

if you turn the light off it easy to see thought window at night

[King Gizzard]

that made me sound like a right hard nut, would just launch myself at them to be honest

[GypsyGoth]

If I'm home alone for more than one night. The house is old so it makes creepy noises sometimes.

Aye? Hard as **** aye?

[King Gizzard]

we have a path right next to our house that leads to all of the backdoors so if someone goes down there at night I get a bit worried, our neighbour did it one night and it was locked so the cheeky **** knocked on our door to see if we could open it but we didn't answer

Me too. I freak out and just become a nervous mess.

[King Gizzard]

I'm forever scared of looking in the mirror because of this (even if it's fake)

I'm fine when there's someone else in my family awake at home but when they're all asleep or when I'm home alone and it's dark, I get really frightened of the tiniest of noises.

Like one time when I was falling asleep, my window was open, and I heard talking and I automatically assumed some burglars were in my house talking until I remembered the window was open. I also got quite panicky when the house alarm went off unexpectedly one night, I assume it was just a fly or something.

[Kizzy]

I used to be a wreck due to a nutty ex, but I'm better now. I've always been scared of the dark and sleep with the toilet light on.
I leave a light on in the living room too so nobody ever knows if we're up or not :laugh:
Hope you're ok reece :)

[Jamie.]

I feel very unsafe. But I lived in Hull for most of my young life, in the rough area so that causes my nerves and for me to look over my shoulder every two minutes.

Thanks :hug: I'm leaving my light on tonight, darkness is definitely a major factor of the nerves.

[armand.kay]

I'm normally up until 4am so being alone at night doesn't scare me I even go on walks at times.

[Kizzy]

I used to hate 4am, it's too late for anybody to be up and too early for anyone to be up. The paranoia hour I called it :(
I have a big black doggy now too that barks his head off if he hears anything, even though he's the sweetest thing ever he sounds scary :laugh:

My dog is the same, but she's more likely to lick your face off than bite you :joker:

[Gstar]

I very rarely get scared when home alone, I only get scared when I have a nightmare

[Samm]

I don't believe in Ghost and **** like that I feel quite safe in my own home

[Ammi]

...wow, that must have been scary for you, Reece..:hug:...

..I'm ok during waking hours but occasionally do still get a little nervous if I'm the only one sleeping here but not so much because of hooded figures or anything...more because I'm so isolated where I live...

[sooty]

Oh I am sorry to hear it Reece. I hope you are all right.

I used to feel scared in the midnight since I became alone, but now I have a burglar alarm, so I feel secure, at least no more that sort of feeling that some boy could be in the house somewhere.

My fat Charlie is not much of a guardsman I am afraid.:p

[Ammi]

...aww, fat Charlie, Sooty..he's there for the love and the cuddles...(well probably more for the food..)...but not so much for the guarding...

[swinearefine]

I live in the middle of nowhere in Downeast Maine so all I really have to worry about is a deranged moose breaking in. I was kinda nervous back when I was living in a hotel suite in Plymouth, MA because it was literally right in the middle of a gigantic shopping complex and it was on the first floor and my bed was right next to a window and there was a hobo outside being all homeless and such. ETA: Also there were a bunch of heroin addicts shooting up in there right before I got there and my cousin warned me that there might be dirty needles kicking around my sleeping quarters

[AnnieK]

I don't really feel scared here...I used to when I lived at my mum and dads as their house is old and creaks and groans a lot. Plus we were burgled like 5 times in 3 years which was a mood breaker....once in the night too. Thankfully they've had no trouble for years but it certainly made me nervous.....

[sooty]

Ha ha he is not, is he?

If I were you, I rather worry Charlie might be attacked by fox?
Have you seen fox where you live, Ammi?


I have seen a fox top of a my neighbour's (few doors down) flat garage roof where my Charlie often walks around.

[Ammi]

..yeah, we often have foxes/deer and lots of wildlife, Sooty..but because it's not in the town/city. they don't so much come for food/scavenging..but are just more passing through on their way home...has Charlie ever seen a fox..?..

[sooty]

Deer?! Wao~
It is really seriously countryside, Ammi.

I think fox around here are looking for foods.

Even my Charlie is fat, (not cruelly, just chubby) I hope he can run away fast if he sees fox.

..yeah, it's very country, Sooty..the deer are beautiful when they just stroll into your garden and the strange and lovely thing as well is they seem to get used to you and are not afraid and rush off..it's like we spend ages just looking at each other and saying hi, lol....they're not so great though when you're driving to work and they run out of the forest in front of your car...just very dangerous for both of you, so you do also see many deer who are no longer breathing...and sometimes and this is really sad...they're injured quite badly and need the pain to stop, so you have to phone the local gamekeeper, who has a gun and knows what he must do for them...I know accidents can't always be avoided but I don't understand how people can just leave them there...anyway, life in the country isn't always so good...everything has up and down sides, hasn't it...

:shocked: did the police come, is your neighbour okay? are you okay, that is very frightening :shocked:

[thesheriff443]

someone came in my house once uninvited, lots of blood, all theirs.

lol

[Kyle]

I don't really worry at night time. To be honest I'm usually too busy going into people's gardens and staring through their window to think about it really.

[Jesus.]

Was it a woman on her period?

[smudgie]

Not overly scared.
If I hear the police helicopter hovering I can get a bit jittery.
I am new to sleeping in an empty house.

[Scream]

If I'm thirsty or hungry at like 1am I venture downstairs and go into the kitchen and there's a door and window with no blinds or anything which leads to our garden. I always try avoid looking in case a face just pops up and starts banging on the window :joker:

[Natalie.]

Yep since earlier this year, I was in my house on my own and it was 11;30pm and someone banged on my door(Nobody I know) and didn't stop banging and letterbox for like 15 minutes. It really scared me lol

[reece(:]

:shocked: did the police come, is your neighbour okay? are you okay, that is very frightening :shocked:
Yeah, half of the street went out to see what happened and our neighbour said the police were on their way.
Oh I am sorry to hear it Reece. I hope you are all right.


...wow, that must have been scary for you, Reece..:hug:...
Thanks :hug: It was awful... but I think my Mum was more scared because she was in the sitting room right near the neighbour's window.

[jackc1806]

Hope you're okay Reece :)

That's awful Annie, I can't imagine having to go through that! :(

[Jessica.]

:sad: I am scared of mice and my cats always bring half dead ones into the house, it makes me want to run away for a month every time.

[Josy]

our door goes directly out onto the pavement so i'm always weary when someone is walking past, but I'd probably batter them anyway

:joker::joker::joker::joker:



I'm never scared at all where I live now but before I moved the area I was in was wild, we had to have cctv and that up and one night I was home alone and heard a noise from the living room then the window alarm went off (the living room was at the back of the house were it was pitch black) anyway I went in thinking it was just the wind or something and without putting a light on pulled back the curtain and there were 2 guys trying to get in the window :(

That was pretty scary.

[MTVN]

Should have battered them Josy

[Josy]

Should have phoned Nathan to batter them :idc:

Nah it was actually really scary I just ran back into my bedroom clicking the living room light on the way, locked my bedroom door and phone the police then Stuart (he was working nightshift)

[MTVN]

Not sure what I would do if people broke into my house, probably just politely ask them to leave and promise not to phone the police

[Natalie.]

I sometimes get really scared about getting broken in to when I'm on my own at night.There's a hammer somewhere but can't really hit them with that lol

[Josy]

Someone broke into Stuarts parents house one night when we were all sleeping upstairs, the dog ran upstairs and Stuart went down to check why because they are usually in the kitchen at night and he came back up and woke me up saying 'Josy the back doors open and the microwaves lying out in the back garden' turns out the burglars were actually in the living room when he was down in the kitchen, they made a run for it when he went back upstairs so he was quite lucky nothing happened to him.

It's a weird creepy feeling knowing someones been prowling around the house while we were asleep tbh.

[Mystic Mock]

I feel safe in my home because I have family members living with me.

[Mystic Mock]

Although reading these posts might make me change my mind lol.

[Kizzy]

My god josy! nightmare stuff :(
And Morrissey... maybe they really wanted a hug? (joke) seriously, did you ever find out what it was all about? That must have been awful.
