You sure know your shit, I'll give you that. Does make me wonder how your real life smart matches up with your book learning.
I think the first question you might want to ask yourself before making any public appearances should be: "Do I really have to go out in public today?" Amazon.com, eBay.com, Coborns and other services provide access to many essentials without having to step outside.
No one ever really needs to go out, but I often want to. Sometimes the risk outweighs the reward. That's just basic cost-benefit analysis.
The biggest trap one can fall into is their own self-confidence, which leads to taking their environment for granted, lowering defenses, and encourages complacency. Don't let up for a second. Never deviate. Remain vigilant at all times. Shrug off all the naysayers that try to topple your sanctuary walls with attempts to gaslight you about being "too paranoid." Take nothing for granted.'
Agreed. There's no such thing as "too paranoid" if you ask me. A saying of mine is "The world isn't out to get you specifically, but it's out to get any and everyone that falls for its bullshit."
Am I trying to make you paranoid? Second-guess yourself? Second-guess everyone around you? Yes, of course.
I definitely don't need your help doing that. ;)
