Not afraid of people, just deathly afraid of not sizing someone up correctly or being caught with my guard down. I apply the adage "A watched pot never boils" to just about every aspect of my life, sometimes to the detriment of the enjoyment of life in general, but my worst nightmare scenario is being out with my family and having some friggin' misanthrope decide he wants to take as many people to Valhalla with him to get his 15 minutes of fame. It's such a random act that is so difficult to stay prepared for but I try to at all times when I'm out. Anywhere we go, I'm only paying half attention to the conversations my family and I are having while I try to watch every damn entry door and the other people sitting around us. I keep hoping it will get better as I get older, but it just stays the same....lol I think I would have fit right in in Roland's world......lol
