Projecting a Confident You
Attackers choose their victims carefully. They look for people who seem distracted and vulnerable. People they think they can manipulate and force to submit to their whims. If you are getting harassed, do not smile or laugh, even if the stranger smiles at you (he might only be trying to lull you into thinking he is friendly).
Women often smile as a nervous reaction or to pacify others, but this sends the wrong signal to a potential attacker. Even if you are shaking inside, look the attacker in the eye with bold determination. This will project a confident you and he will think twice before attacking.
Advisory: Be on your guard all the time if you are on your own./TE
