The world isnt always a safe place.
Its also home topsychopathswho can do just about anything to get their way.
Turns out it has something to do with the way we walk.
Hi, my name is Alex and Im a current college student studying psychology and forensic psychology.
And one of my passions is using my education to share information and tips to help you stay safe.
Just a little disclaimer, before we get started, I will be addressing specificallywomenin this video.
However, any information in this video can be beneficial to anyone.
So lets dive in.
But, that actually isnt the case.
So let me explain to you what that looked like.
B) It signaled to potential attackers that these women were generally weaker than other potential victims.
And as far as pace goes, they kept the same pace as everyone else in the immediate area.
They also tended to walk with their shoulders back and their chins up.
And they looked around at their surroundings and asserted more of a general confidence.
And thats why they werent selected.
But because we have this study, we know that its a possibility.
Walk with a stride that is natural to your body and not too far apart or not too short.
T is for tall.
Keep your shoulders back and your chin up.
Assert a natural confidence and dominance to those around you.
The first A stands for arms.
The second A stands for awareness.
Stay aware of your surroundings.
Take notice if something feels or looks off.
And lastly, R stands for relax.
Stay safe, and have a great rest of your day.
Predators can also identify women who have more confidence and dont tend to pick on them.
Its interesting to note that 55% of the way humans communicate is throughnonverbalcues.
People can tell a lot about us through the ways that we move, gesture, and emote.
Studies show that their attention to body language helps them select easy victims.
Thats why they can even pick up peoples vulnerabilities from their gait.
Research has also found that psychopaths are likelier to prey on moresubmissive women.
Those predators who target females by their gait are picking up on the walkers vulnerabilities.
Being aware of your environment.
(T) Take note.
Look out for suspicious activity.
(A) Action.
Take action and avoid potential threats.
(R) Run.
Run to safety if confronted.
