Where do you feel 'safe'?

I dont know how to describe this but here goes:

Where, anywhere do you feel safe as in where do you go for time out and stuff like that.

I have a sense of being safe when sleeping. Dunno about you?
Time Out wise, I hardly use/need it at all, cos im so angry 100% of the time!
When Im at home, I calm down!

RE: Where do you feel 'safe'?

I calm down when I am at home reading or listening to music.  That helps me to get my mind off of things.

I often feel that I have to take a walk outside if I hate my parents that evening.

RE: Where do you feel 'safe'?

It's a relevant question because I feel safe only in a limited number of circumstances. Best for me is: in a large crowd of people in a big city. Alternatives to feel safe: alone at home or alone in nature.

RE: Where do you feel 'safe'?

There's a certain anonymity to a big crowd, I can see the safety in that.

I'm more of an alone person myself, in nature with the animals playing out their lives and cycles before me or even better in a car on some winding, deserted road (race tracks preferred, but time on them is way too expensive) where I can get in tune with the mechanical symphony that rewards the driver for demonstrating their level of skill. If I had a race track with a garden in the middle of the wilderness I'd be a very happy man.

RE: Where do you feel 'safe'?

In my home, laying on the carpet in the winter, under a blanket with the foot end over the heat register.  When the heat comes on and poofs up the blanket into a warm cocoon, I wish i could stay there all winter. It is very cozy.

In a crowd people don't have expectations to talk with them or look them in the eyes. The opposite is true, people feel surprised or offended when you look them in the face too long.
A crowd adds a feeling like "everybody is in the same situation". I feel equal then, not inferior. For example in a bus, all have the same destination, the same delay. It feels safe that the others do the same, for example waiting for the traffic lights. In another country it's even better because not speaking the language well is a very acceptable reason to not start conversations. Maybe strange..., but very true for me; I feel safest with a lot of strangers around. When I would need help, it is easy to get.

I agree, I feel very uncomfortable in large crowds.

I agree with Ogsama-

driving... especially someplace scenic... tree-covered roads are a personal favorite. Smile  My 2YO got off her usually nice sleep schedule this week so I had to take her on a long drive to get her to nap. It was so nice. Smile

RE: Where do you feel 'safe'?

The only problem with driving is the use of petroleum fuels.  I'll be so much happier once I figure out how to afford a diesel so that I can make my own B100 and then it'll only cost me tires and brakes to go for a drive.

OH!  And no, I don't hear voices at all, live in a fantasy world in my head, nor do I lose touch with who I am and/or what is going on around me.  Big Grin  (Just thought I should clarify that one.)

I feel safe in my bed sleeping or resting under blankets.

Ditto.

And like Five, I also prefer a big city, especially a multi-cultural one.  Then you are just another human and no telling what may or may not be making you odd...either way, "got places to go, things to do, don't have time to think about it..."

Coming from a small town where people have entirely TOO much time to think about it...and a relatively small control group with which to be compared...

Also coming from a small town, I do miss and crave nature.  I have to get away from the city regularly to listen to the earth.  I've never lived anywhere with "spectacular" stars...just normal homey stars.  But I can't tell you how much I miss the night (only so safe to venture so far) and the dark and the stars.

Then there's the lair...the naked cave.  Huge exhale when home and hear the heavy clicks of the locks and I can take off the NT cloak.
