Is it scary to be homeless?

Question

Is it scary to be homeless?

Answer 1

For some people, always. Others, one supposes, get used to it. If you really want to know, go to a shelter and ask there. Most people on this site have no personal experience.

Answer 2

For some people I'm sure it is, but there are some people that have good jobs that choose to be homeless. They collect cans, find food and clothing, and just help other homeless people out. They feel that it is their calling from God.

Answer 3

I imagine it would be for us.Homeless people(your talking about bums on the street right?)generally have mental problems, they probably cant even comprehend what has happend to put them in that situation,quite sad really

Answer 4

Well I mean, unless sleeping any random place out in public and not knowing how you'll survive the next day isn't scary, then no! It's fine! To everyone else it's scary.

Answer 5

It was very scary for me.

At the time I was just discharged from the Marine Corps, dishonorably by the way, and had no idea as to where I was going, what I was going to do, or anything else. Plus, I did not know how to live on the street.

There is danger everywhere and DO NOT listen to anyone who tells you different. Theives, rapists, murderers, drug addicts, etc.

Now look, I'm no weakling, I'm not a punk or a homosexual. There was nothing about me that said I was an easy mark. But still, I was by myself and I was afraid. And the prospect of making 'friends' with someone under those conditions is extremely foolish and irresponsible because you have no idea what their motives are or their particular predilictions.

The unknown is definitely a scary proposition, for anyone, I believe.
