googley, I also feel unsafe just walking around. But I ride a bike instead. It feels much safer to me to be able to get away fast on a bike. Would this solution work?

Also maybe you would feel safe if you bought pepper spray and had it in your hand while you walked around?

EDIT: oh haha this was already suggested!! I used to do this when I went on walks at night. It made me feel safe, especially when I had it IN my hand while I was walking.

I can relate to this. I have a really hard time going to any class where I will be touched at all by my teacher. It REALLY freaks me out! My yoga instructor never touches me. That is the only reason I can go to yoga. I quit the class where the teacher tried to push us into poses harder using her hands. It totally freaked me out!

Maybe you could rent a self-defense video?
