Your safety starts with being actively aware of your surroundings. You might think this goes without saying, but considering people fall down over themselves looking at their phones while they walk, it's surprising how few people really pay attention to what's going on around them.
We're not saying you should be paranoid—just observant. Look around, see how many people are near you, and what they're doing. Make a mental note of anything you think is suspicious. Obviously if you see something that should be reported to authorities, you should, but for most of us, this is a matter of checking out how crowded a place is before we enter, looking around at the people inside and how they react when we walk in, and paying attention if there's a disturbance or situation developing. If you do notice a disturbance—an aggravated customer shouting at a cashier, an arguing couple, or police activity, look around for exits or safe places to get to if things get out of hand. It may be tempting to get closer or see what's happening, or whip out your phone and start recording, but you really should pay attention to how you can get away from the situation before it becomes dangerous for you, too.
