Do you think I am too paranoid? ?

Question

every night i go downstairs and make sure all the doors are locked, and i check every room, and i walk around with my knife. I recently moved to a new city after living in my old one for 12 years, I don't really trust my city yet. Do you think I am too paranoid?

Answer 1

No just being protective

Answer 2

Nope.. I would prolly do the same thing... I do it now. Well not with a knife, but I make sure that I check the windows and doors still. But it scary, so you can never be to safe. When I lived out in the country surrounded by woods.. got really scary when I happened to be alone at night and you hear something downstairs. So ya, I took the knife around with me than to check everything out! haha

Answer 3

yeah walking around with a knife is too much.

otherwise just keep the doors locked, and maybe install a security system if you feel you need one.

Answer 4

Protective i think - i keep a machete under my pillow/on my nightstand. and a dagger nearby.

Answer 5

Hey, there is no problem in making sure your safe and sound. What if there really was creep in your house, and then you have your knife. It's good that your doing that.  

Answer 6

Probably but I have done that a few times myself!

Answer 7

walking around with a knife is almost taking it a little to far but if it make you feel safe then i would do it. thats a very good idea to lock all your doors and check them before you go to bed, you can never be to careful even in the safest of neighborhoods.

taking self defence classes can also help with making you feel safer

Answer 8

No. Everyone who is an adult makes sure that the doors are locked and the house is secure, they check all of the rooms to ensure that the windows are closed, etc, although they dont walk around with a knife.  I guess it depends on the neighbourhood that you are living in as to whether you feel "safe" or not.

Paranoid is when you believe everyone is looking at you, for you, seeking you out or hunting you down.  Its a whole different thing altogether.

Answer 9

No it's normal, your just wary which is good. I don't think you need the knife though, instead take self defense classes or karate if you really feel unsafe. I lock my doors & windows even though it's a safe town.

hope this helps
