[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of dcum is blissfully unaware of right wing social media crime content.

TikTok once fed me a video about people putting zip ties on women’s car handles to mark them for human trafficking or something that was so stupid I commented, which was even more stupid because then I got an avalanche of them.

Seriously a lot of Republican women are deathly afraid that someone is going to snatch them from the target parking lot. I think it’s like a strange LARP that gives them a little buzz as they go through their day.

People “casing” your house is another common one. [/quote]

I am aware of paranoia and propaganda.  But this doesn't negate the fact that crime of all kinds is on the rise even in the safest neighborhoods. It's also a change of environment for me as I mostly lived in the cities and highrise buildings with security (locked doors, or doormen).   What does this have to do with any political leanings I have no idea.  Being on the ground floor without metal bars on windows is not what I am used to.  I feel exposed. [/quote]

You were not safer in your high-rise, honestly: outsiders get into those all the time, or the residents themselves commit crimes against neighbors. This is mostly in your head and seems like it may be interfering with your enjoyment of your new house. Anxiety that interferes with your life deserves treatment. A couple sessions with a therapist may really help you.

Also, try to get to know your new neighbors. Not only will they tell you what's up in your neighborhood, but most neighbors look out for each other and notice when somebody unusual is around. Mine will text me if a solicitor is going door to door, so I don't bother to answer.[/quote]
