[quote=Anonymous]I walk in a way that acknowledges others in my neighborhood. And know when to ignore someone. Like some people you freeze out others you make eye contact with. Sometimes to let them know they are seen so they don’t mess with you, mostly to acknowledge their humanity. This includes the unhoused. Most are good people in tough circumstances, some are dangerously past being helped.

If you have people in your neighborhood that you see often and do this they’ll look out for you too.

Also walking at night. Pay attention to your surroundings. This is not when to check a text or listen to music. Head gently on swivel. As a woman I also tend to walk in the middle of the sidewalk or close to the street, noticing what’s around me. Get an uber or taxi if you’ve been drinking.

Know where you are. Learn how to notice patterns. Don’t expect you’re safe, don’t be afraid you’re in danger.

Idk. I wouldn’t say I’m street smart though. Was single a long time and out late often. Stayed safe. Must have been doing something right.
