She says that if your physical security is at stake, you don't owe anyone to anyone. In fact, a strategically deployed lie can be exactly what you need to survive a Dangerous situation .

"If you have an intestinal feeling that something is disabled, you are probably right," said the criminologist Tiktok Post . She notes that if the other person does not disappear and that you are taken in the lie, it only confirms that you did the right thing by protecting yourself. "At this point, you would stay where it is very populated and ask for help," she said. "Do not forget that you lie to defuse the situation or prevent it from degenerating completely. Your goal is to go home safely every night."

Whenever a stranger asks a personal question, this should raise an eyebrow. However, Eve says he should be considered a pure and simple red flag if a foreigner asks: "Do you live here?"

Eve gives an example of a scenario in another Tiktok Post : "You are in the elevator in the building in which you live and someone you do not recognize you ask if you live there. Answer: 'No, I just visited friends with whom I went to university . No, just a few things here for my brother '' suggests the criminologist.

She adds that it is not normal for Lyft, Uber or Taxi drivers to ask you this question.

If someone is approaching you in a bar and you have a bad feeling, Eve says it is important to trust your instinct.

"Let's say that you are sitting and that you have a single glass at the bar. Someone you get a bad atmosphere sitting next to you and said:" What is a girl like you are doing here alone? "Answer with:" I'm just waiting for my boyfriend "or" while waiting for some of my friends - they should arrive at a minute "or" I'm just waiting for my husband - he's outside the parking lot ".

In a separate Tiktok video , she adds that it is important to always keep your drink carefully in bars, especially if you are alone. If you made the mistake of leaving your drink unattended even for a moment, it is always better to get a new one, she said.

"Now, let's say that you are moving to a new city and that someone asks you if you are new here. Answer with:" No, I'm here visiting friends, but I actually lived in the Street "", she suggests. This implies that you know your current location well, but does not give that you really live locally.

If the person asks if you travel alone, it calls for another lie. "No, traveling with my brother, traveling with my father, traveling with my husband. The moral of history is that you are never alone, and a male figure always meets you."

There is a question that says that Eve should always be interpreted as a threat: if someone asks if "someone knows you are here".

"Your answer 100% of the time is yes. You are never alone, you always expect someone - rather a male figure - and someone always knows where you are, even if it is not the case "Said the criminologist.

She adds that you should never go anywhere if you feel uncomfortable. "There is no shame to ask someone to walk to your car, or to call a friend or a real family member to come and meet you because you don't feel safe." , note Eve.
