In this video, I share a personal story. I analyse the psychology of the "creep" and explore the psychological landscape of the outsider. When we stop outsourcing our safety to habitual "bubbles of belonging", we also enter a space of personal agency. The idea that the inside world is safe and the outside world is dangerous might be an illusion altogether, created by those who do not want us to escape systems. I recommend a life lived off-script.

She describes a situation others would describe as creepy, but she did not experience it as such. She explores why she sees creepiness and safety traveling alone differently from others.

Goes into attachment to social bubbles and views and risks of social bubbles compared to outside of them.
