    I mean, it’s not entitled or selfish in my opinion. I would call it more… empathy? Struggling because violence in your area has caused deaths? That’s a totally normal reaction. I remember a few years ago working in parkville I was really, really scared to go out alone after dark, because 3 separate women were murdered and assaulted in the parks around where I lived and worked.

    Sometimes unpredictable people are scary. And the knowing that there are unpredictable and scary people around is stressful, so it’s not surprising that you are struggling.

    Is there anyone you can talk to about this? I hate to think of you dealing with this by yourself.
