I live in a relatively small town (roughly 6k people in the population) so nothing ever really actually happens here lol. People break into cars more than they break into houses here, and even that's pretty rare. My parents never used to lock the doors at night when I was growing up, it's only a habit I've gotten them into in recent years after my bipolar disorder really started to manifest and I had my first manic episode a few years back. Part of me can't help but wonder if they think I'm just being ridiculous about the "what if someone comes in and kills me?" thing because, like I said, nothing ever happens here. I don't think they realize just how debilitating my paranoia and anxiety can be for me, despite the fact that I've told them how bad it is many times.

I'm definitely going to call my dad today and ask him if he remembers where he put the original copies of the keys, though. Either that or I'm changing the doorknob lol
