I can't hop out of any pot. There is nowhere on Earth that will adequately protect me. The best I can do is live in the United States where I can legally protect myself. I don't know if I will ever feel safe again but I do know for sure that I'm never leaving my home without a handgun as long as I live. I was assaulted in public by a stranger recently, totally unprovoked, and that really solidified that my safety is 100% my responsibility... I feel so fucking alienated. The only connection I feel is to my ancestors who were forced into hiding, their ancestors who were forced into hiding, and so on... I guess it's my turn to carry on the tradition now

That's horrible. There should be resources you can find for help. Please make an effort to seek them out, you shouldn't have to be alone with this.

It's doesn't have to be you against the world.
