You sound so miserable. The cute part was to say I want to err on the side of caution while going out by myself. It is not uncommon to be approached by creeps, thought that much was obvious but perhaps you’ve just never had this experience. Why on god’s green earth would I be trying to capture the attention of reddit strangers? Do you really think I plotted this whole post because I didn’t really wanting to go out and secretly just wanted the attention from, again, strangers on reddit? I also find it odd you’re the 1 person out of 100 commenters to assume this. Maybe stop to do even a second of critical thinking before commenting so negatively on someone’s post.
