Exactly Why Trusting Others Means Defending Yourself Too

By Samuel O Shotsey


I really like to keep my womanly appeal up. I come from a people-loving family so I have a friendly disposition. But being sociable doesn't usually bring about good relationships.

An undesirable experience taught me to never ever be too trusting. That occurrence trained me to arm myself using a Hottie stun gun. It is a pink stun gun, which my mommy offered me for my birthday. She's been selling self-defense devices actively since then.

The unpleasant incident took place about last year. A childhood buddy introduced me to this guy which she met at a neighborhood fundraiser. Seeing that we had some things in common, she urged us to go on a date.

I agreed. I never yield to initial impressions but I definitely felt anxious that time. The man was all about himself: egotistic and also self-centered. And that was just the beginning.

He inquired regarding my work, where I go to work and also lived. I made certain not to provide too much information. Had it been with someone else, I would have rattled on with regards to my life and also what I desired to accomplish 5 years from then.

This guy had too much to drink that evening, a lot more than what a typical date should have. I hesitated when he asked to walk me home but since it was still a bit early in the evening, I said yes.

Before I was even able to bid him good night (and good riddance), his hands were all over me. I felt scared and also weak. Only a concerned resident who heard me calling for help was able to prevent me from being violated a lot more.

I made a mental note to be a good judge of character. If I got a time machine, I would carry perhaps a 5 million-volt Runt stun gun in pink together with me and go back to that evening. Today, every time I meet new people, I instinctively check to determine if I have my own pink stun gun in my bag.
