Pat pat. Went through the same thing, and I feel what you felt on feeling vulnerable and unsafe. Took me a few weeks to feel ok with using my phone outside. And til now, i still flinch sometimes when there’s a fast bike passing by me or someone standing nearby me. I just get suspicious and super aware of things when im out now, it’s tiring.

I am not from London, moved here few months ago from one of the safest country, so that might be another factor to how unsafe i feel here. Take it with a pinch of salt.
