Awesome advice, and you're absolutely right! I've seen and read stories about people who did pay attention to their intuition and it did save them. Thanks for this important message!
Thanks for posting this. In that same book you mentioned, Gavin De Becker explains that women are particularly vulnerable because they tend to think the best of others, unlike men, and don't want to hurt the creep's feelings. Also, it's very likely that when they get a creepy vibe from anyone, they dismiss it believing they're being overly cautious or paranoid about someone who is "probably" a good person. It's better to be extreme in this regard rather than trust a creepy stranger.
So many things are negatively impacted by using screens and technology at a young age such as vision, motor skills, physical posture, and emotional regulation.
I hope the "spidey sense" you talked about is so deeply inherent, maybe at a cellular level, that it can't be dulled despite the brain rewiring that comes from countless hours of disconnection and distraction on phones.
