I am afraid that I will be abducted!?

I was watching this creepy show about people who get kidnapped, even adults, I don't want to be afraid of this, help? how can i get over this fear?

Answer:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once" shakespeare
lock ur windows and doors, buy an attack dog
watch where you are...if you're around a lot of people i wouldnt worry too much b/c you can scream for help or something...but then of course there's always bystander apathy...

when you go out go out with a friend or someone so you don't feel alone

try not to think about it too much

be optimistic and think of what are the chances...


hope it helps..
Stop watching the show. If that's the source or start of the fear then get rid of it. Calm down and know that you can be safe. Is it fear or a paranoia?
"To be safe from everything is to be dead." You just have to realize that just because it could happen, dosent mean it will. And being aware that it happens isn't necissarly a bad thing. just don't wander down a dark ally by yourself.
Give it sometime, your fear will fade away. It's like watching a scary movie, you're scared for a short period of time but later you just grow out of it because you stop thinking about it. For now, listen to some soothing music while eating ice cream or pizza and watch a comedy or a light hearted show so you get your mind off the program.
Replace that fear with something else either by watching lots of funny shows or action! Do things to get your mind off that. If this is an alien thing.well it's just TV, if not take a self defense class...in the mean time talk to your family and let them know how u feel and with their love and support u won't be so afraid. Next time don't watch scary stuff...it's not good for ur health, especially if u don't sleep at night. Good Luck :)
You cannot live your life in fear. Do these shows even show you what you can do the avoid/minimalize your chances of being abducted? These shows are doing no service to you, if they do not.

There are certain precautions you can take- to help minimalize your chances. Park in lighted areas, don't park by shady looking vans (and if one is parked by you, enter through the passanger side), walk with your key in your hand if you are in a parking lot (you can use it as a weapon- poke their eyes) or carry a rape whistle. Carry a phone. Go places with others- if possible..

There are plenty of websites online that can offer you more tips.
