100% I mean the thought of being robbed at gunpoint, potentially shot and who knows what else is terrifying. Being in a life or death situation that you have almost no control over is really scary and I know that because I’m scared of flying. I guess the thing is what do you DO with that fear?

This!!! I lived in Recife, Brazil for many years and crime there is pretty high. Basically you had to make the choice of either hyperventilating into a paper bag about it or just going outside and living. It didn’t help that there were loads of sensationalist TV shows about crime and whatnot
