Are you always on guard about being slapped in the face? Surely there must be something you can be made victim of that is not on your mind at all times? Do you always check your shoes at the off-chance that someone hid a razorblade in there?
- DarylZero 4y agoI'm not getting your point with these questions. Someone who is a victim of an assault may be "on guard" or "hyper-vigilant" for some time afterward. I can remember such an instance in my own life after I was robbed at gunpoint in a foreign country. Someone who is a victim of repeated assaults during childhood is very likely to tend toward hyper-vigilance their entire lifetime (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_post-traumatic_stress_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_post-traumatic_stress_...) but that's not me.
