How true.

Listening to music and in my bed for me where no one else is invading my space. I have a thing with people invading my space.
Enclosed spaces, so much so in fact that it's almost an obsession.  Hell, I'd even sleep in a coffin if I could afford one (after removing the locks and adding some mesh covered air vents and sliding windows so I can see the TV of course).
Anywhere quite, and with a piano.
I feel safe out in my apple trees, reading and writing in my room, the library or bookstore (I love books) and our town's local Starbucks.
I feel safe with my family, even if they're all being chaotic, I've grown use to their behavior, and even though it grinds on my nerves, still, it's familiar. I'm in college, in the dorms,and I can't really say that I go home because I miss my family, I miss where they live, the one person I do miss is my little brother, I'm really close with my little sister who is 14 mo. younger than me, but I miss my little brother. He's really the only one. I feel safe in my mother's home(that sounds extremely childish, I know, Smile), everything stays the same there. OR in a fiction book, I'm fond of fiction books because I can escape into the world and know that it isn't real, this helps even if the story turns out bad. I read some non-fiction, about AS all the time, but also fiction when I'm not reading about AS. I believe I am obsessed with acquiring information about AS and Autism.
The one place I really feel "safe" is at home with my family Because I don't have to be anyone but myself and that's okay and also because my family are the only ones who really know me. At school the teachers and all they "know" me but they don't know "me". The only people who really know "me" are my family and close close friends. it's hard for me to open up to people and let them know "me" but when I'm at home or with my friends I can be my self and let people know "me"
Snuggly cuddly in my bed with my puppy or my stuffed animals.
oh, good choice to necro!

mine remains the same; in front of my computer.

the point?

..good question.
I suppose we cannot argue to be a community unless we communicate about things that might not be serious, or relevant.

In my home:
Any room with music and a book.

Outside of my home:
If i have a wall behind me and can see the door. or if i am with someone that i trust; Freinds or family. Quiet places are also good, but not forests i always feel like i am being Watched.

Well it's important for communities to get to know each other...and as a lot of us deal with anxiety talking about what makes us feel safe may make us feel calmer.

You don't have to read or post here you know...

I feel safe under the covers of my bed, or in the dressing rooms or on stage of this theatre. I would live there if I could, and it makes me feel safe and calm and confident and it makes me feel all lovey.
usually, quiet places, like my room, or places with music that's to my liking.

I also enjoy the woods, during the day, the shade is really nice, and it's also quiet and beautiful.
