Safety in numbers is definitely the best option.
Fuck this world where women and the vulnerable have to be on high alert just to go about our business.
Thanks for the support. ๐
Safety in numbers, yes, this is the first time in nearly 30 years I haven't lived in a very busy area, not used to it yet.
I don't like that I didn't automatically know what to do in this situation.
But now I have thought about it, got some advice and have a plan in my head of what to do in case something similar happens.
Keeping my distance whilst keeping an eye on the suspect is generally what I do.
