Yes, for example when I was in the bus to go to classes and (sorry for my English) the person who will grab the mobile phone of a girl sit next to me. Personally, I think was something lucky to me to be aware that I was in danger because I remember that that day my bag was so big, my water bottle , mobile phone and cash to pay the ticket were in my hand and I was with my green neon headphones so chill searching a sit near to the second door to exit of the bus. I don't know why or how but when I sit my water bottle fell in the floor and I was searching it and was in that moment that I feel that something wasn't ok and I feel that a person ( a men) was looking at me in a bad way.
Ok, I think that I'm that type of person who can feel sometimes when someone is angry, happy or has bad intentions for and with you, but that not always happen.
So, I feel that and I was alert, I was nervous because If I start to put all may things into my bag he could grab them and run or something.
The person next to me left the chair and he sit down, I feel that he was looking at me, specially my phone and I change my position like telling him "ok, I know your next movement and I'm prepare" hahahahaha I think that he feel it because start to been nervous and avoid my looking.
We were more near to a part that its only a road and he was more nervous like when you know that you'll be late and you're so borried, your body transmit that, he did.
The second door opened and he stand up and grab the mobile phone of the girl who was sitting in front of me and I was like wtf son of bitch. The girl was in shock and he say louder "DON'T COME" well in Spanish sounds differently, was in another way and I think that sentence is more near to what I want to transmit.
That was the experience more near to me, I could remember all about that evening, the feeling too. And I'm so surprise that the guy who grab the mobile phone was dressed decently like he work in a office, he was with formal clothes.
So, now trust in people its difficult.

Assault. Took me quite a while to get over it, since the perpetrator was a close relative. Therapy helped a lot.

my father tried to commit suicide and landed us all in jail until the hospital saved his life and said we didn't do it. I wouldve been given life behind bars if he died as the police thought it was me.

Got carjacked at gunpoint at the gas station down the street a few years back... at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. Pretty sure the local tv news story is still on Youtube.

Nope but I've met some creepy dudes. Was hanging out with my friends in this small forest area that's used for frisbee golfing. Two dudes like 25+ asked to play with us (a bunch of 16 year olds) and wanted to follow us. A white guy from a different group stepped in and let my group go ahead so the two creepy dudes were blocked from us. After like 10-15 min we heard the two guys again behind us and sounded like they were coming our direction so we ran back to our car a different way and ditched the place.

Carjacked and robbed. It happened because a scumbag wanted my money and car... I only ever carry under $10 in cash or none, for that exact reason.. so i lost little money and insurance money I replaced my car.. that has yet to be recovered some 30 years later.
Didn't want to leave my apartment for a day afterwards... after that, I sort of was normal.

I was the victim of an attempted crime at least once I think - a stranger grabs me and tries to make out with me when I'm dining at a restaurant - I was lucky the waiter came with my bill in time that I could pay and run out of there.
