The window can be a scary place for me.

Days can go by and I won't even peak out of the window.

I'm not being paranoid, but I feel like I'm safer just not looking, by not looking I can protect myself from the things I don't want to see.

I rationalize it, I give it to myself as a gift from the stresses that I have to endure when going outside is not a choice but a necessity.

Welcome to the community

I read your bio and I see that you suffer from PTSD. I do also

Something that is important to us is being safe.

I don't think it's paranoid at all. It sounds like you've found a way to stay safe

There is alot of support in this community. I'm glad you found us.

Thank you, for saying this. It can feel so lonely living in this paradigm.
