I’m afraid of being harassed or killed
I texted this older person for quite some time, ended it not so suddenly but they didn’t expect it, even though I said I’ll do it numerous times, and they always talked me out of it. They liked me and I didn’t reciprocate, my intentions were clear and they stepped over my boundaries. The reason is because I felt manipulated and unsafe when I got to know them better, now I’m anxious that they’ll find me and do something bad to me. We’re not even on the same continent but I know that they’ll come here eventually because they sorted everything out from visa to plain tickets, and they said they always wanted to visit my country and city, even before knowing me. They know what school and city I go to, it’s a massive city but I’m afraid for my own safety. I have no proof of this person being a sociopath or psychopath besides that they became possessive and little bit controlling at the end of our days of talking, they stepped my boundaries of friends only relationship, even texted me through other accounts and new ones after I blocked them on everything, which is the reason why I felt manipulated and unsafe. No any major red flags during our conversations besides that and that I took everything with a dose of skepticism. They were allegedly in a very bad situation, their close family member died, that’s how they explained their behavior, they were also in quarantine and they saw comfort in talking to me during tough times. I already gave away too much, I’m so paranoid to the point of not being able to sleep at night from anxiety. I know that chances are slim, but still possible. I’m so disappointed in myself for being in this situation, I don’t know how I didn’t think rationally. I’m disgusted at myself because this is all my fault. Please help me, I need advice on what to do next to feel safer. I’m sorry for the long paragraph but I had to tell someone.
I have always found chokes to be a great way to control someone in a fight and incapacitate them (nighty night) as needed. There are tons of variations of these chokes, but I try to focus on ones that are easy to hit and accessible from multiple situations, as well as ones that I can abandon quickly if needed. Always open to feedback, just do not be an asshole :)

My question is for those who have some form of a CCW, blade, pepper spray etc: Is that your default go to for any serious threat or do you have a “level” that the threat posses that will make you consider maybe a proactive strike rather than drawing your sights on the attacker?
what is the best way to learn how to fight for self defense, i am trying to learn how to properly fight or to improve the skills of fighting for self defense i can't seem to fine a martial arts classes or self defense classes that don't seem to care about fighting skills and sparring/free sparring but a tournament rules and so on if the any advice on this?
I have two under the age of two. Being a mom, I fear about getting attacked by someone trying to take or hurt my kids. I can’t find any resources online on how to fend off an attacker while protecting multiple children.
Hey I want to take some sort of fighting/self defense classes. What do you think is the best and why
So as the title suggests I had a realization. I’m a smaller guy. 5/8 (1.73m), and weight about 160 lbs (72.5kg). I am unable to fight and have no clue how to do anything to protect myself. Where do I start? I don’t want to be a coward, and most of my fear comes from lack of experience. I want to exercise more for starters. My parents told me I am just being paranoid, and nothing will ever happen. I just can’t let that be the mentality, life is hardcore and I want to keep us here for as long as possible.
I personally feel that boxing for defense isn't a good idea. I feel that You can break your fist.. you can hurt yourself easily and also if you go up against even say MMA you may be in trouble because how do you know your hits can bring a man down before hitting you hard too and kicking you in the head. Take a brick and use it what then?
Whats your take on this Martial art? I think it needs more of this these days
