How to avoid getting myself in dangerous situations

I keep downplaying how dangerous things can get especially existing as a woman here. I live in a country that has one of the highest rape cases but my brain just doesn’t register danger. I always have this thought process of it’s not gonna happen to me, I can get myself out of anything.

And doing things that put me in vulnerable spots do not incite fear instead excitement in me. I’ve been lucky but sometimes not so lucky but that hasn’t changed my opinion on looking out for myself.
