To ask you if you feel safe in your home?

[Netcurtainnelly]

I feel safe at home especially in my bed, does everyone feel safe at home?😍

I can’t decide if this is a strange question 😅 what do you actually want to know lol?!

Yes I feel safe at home.

Yes I feel safe at home, even when I'm on my own. I live in a new build estate so lots of people around.

During the day I feel safe, at night I have to put the alarm on to be able to sleep and still feel a bit uneasy, I’ve been broken into before in the night and while I’ve moved from that house I still feel on edge at night

Yes. But I've never been burgled so that's probably why. I've always mostly lived alone.

I don't, sadly.
I wish I did but I don't due to my past trauma and where I live now is supposedly 'supported accommodation', but staff manipulate, lie and emotionally abuse and then there is the inappropriate male staff that unlock bedroom doors and ask me out on dates.
I'm utilising a women's charity to move to new housing, but it is all very underhand and uncertain.

Yes, insofar as it’s possible to feel safe anywhere these days. We live in a modern house with good outdoor lighting, door and window locks, and CCTV. Failing all that, we’re never home without our two (large) dogs, who I’m confident would protect us from any intruders.

Very safe. There's no way for anyone to access the back of the property and I have a factory opposite which operates 24 hours with CCTV and security guard.

Safety is the most important things to me. I could live in a mansion but it wouldn't be any good if I didn't feel safe.

Mostly. Though sometimes it occurs to me that if someone really wanted to and didn't care about consequences, there's not much stopping someone from breaking in. I try not to think about that too often though.

Really safe, I’m in a little culdesac off the street so nobody ever passes my house. Plus I have a lot of lovely neighbours and most of them have Ring doorbells or other CCTV should I ever need to ask for it. I strangely feel safer in the house than when I lived in flats. The front door of a previous flat I lived in would never shut properly unless it was pulled to, so it meant people that didn’t live there could come in. This was in a “naice” town too! Once I came home and there was a guy sitting outside my flat door charging his phone - it really spooked me because we were upstairs and behind a fire door, and my bedroom was literally on the other side of the wall. I lived in two different flats after that and they were safe buildings but in flats there are just so many people coming and going and potentially walking past your door.

Do you want people's traumatic stories of not feeling safe in their own home? I feel very sorry for people who don't feel safe in their own home that must be a terrible way to live. I'm not sure why you want to hear all about it though?

This is the vibe I got from this post strange loaded question 🤔

Always one.
Other people managed to answer it ok.

Mostly because we have a ring doorbell and cctv in the garden, however, my ndn has a habit of inviting homeless men round to his to stay in exchange for working in his garden. I think most of them are fine, just looking for a place to sleep but they have been known to show up late and drunk, knocking on his door.

So are you going to explain why you want to know? It's a very odd question to ask out of the blue.

I do in my house but didn’t in the house I grew up in - a field backed on to it and always felt like I was being watched.

Yes, Im right on a busy road, with nice people in the neighbouring flats. I only really get spooked in the countryside, because its full of vampires and no-one can hear you scream.

New build, strong locks, postbox is outside so no one can post anything dodgy into my home. Yes, it's rhe best place :)

Yes, quiet rural area, minimal neighbours open fields and very dark at night but yes, I feel safe.

Why do you ask?

What a horrible situation you're in, hope you find somewhere safer very soon.💕

Yes.

Yes, I don't even lock the door when I am in even when upstairs. Do not have cameras or ring door bell

very, in a friendly area where we know a lot of neighbours, there’s a couple of primary schools and it’s terrace houses so we’re physically close to each other and there’s always people about even though it’s a quiet ish no through road.

yes I feel safe.

I live in the middle of nowhere. Its properly dark. Its normally very quiet although i do hear the cows mooing.

I do have neighbours but we have big propertys / drives so not "easy" to get too.

We live in the sticks high on a hill, so I honestly think the people in the nearby villages who may be up to no good (which happens a lot), can't be bothered to climb the hill and walk all the way up here.

So yes I feel safe.

Very thankfully yes I do. I know what it's like not to though. It's horrendous. Love going to all DV sufferers/survivors x
