Today, it's my third night of finally living on my own in a house. I can't count the number of times I have run to my knife and pepper spray after hearing "suspicious" sounds. Maybe I'm not ready to be an adult after all. FML

Maybe if you get to know your neighbors it may help or accept the fact there are ghosts at your place and just welcome them

Wow, this is actually mine! :D And I never knew FMLers could be so universally nice :') I know, the username is... odd... xD I would be happy for you all to choose one for me! I imagine it'll only be a matter of time before I get used to it all, but in the mean time we can all laugh at my idiocy and terror. I actually was given a gun as a gift a while back, but I asked the giver to keep it for me. I thought about retrieving it, but I do believe it would be wiser to train a lot more with using guns well before possessing it, even if it is meant to protect me. I have a cat, but you can't really trust cats to stand up for you. x) I'm sure she would claw the dog's eyes out though; at least I can rely on her for that...

Just wait for the lights to turn on and off unexpectedly. That always gets me.

You get used to it! I was on the phone with my daughter about 10 yrs ago, she said Mom hold on there's a burglar, I gotta get a knife! Call 911 if I don't come back! I'm 1000 miles away & scared! It was the meter reader reading her water meter!! Lol!! :-)

Solution: keep knife and pepper spray on you.

To all the commenters saying "Get a dog"....animals are not objects that you acquire to perform a function. They are sentient beings that require care and commitment. And I would hesitate to suggest a gun, either, lest a meter reader gets shot when OP panics at an odd noise.

Can't count the number of times? I would think after you ran to it once, you would have held onto them....but that's just me

How so? The point is to add contrast with a toddler, and at twenty I'll be out of the "teenager" realm and into two decades of life. This being less than a month away, I find it to be more of an accurate picture that I am closer to twenty than simply being 19, which could give the image to some of being fresh out of high school. I am at the end of my second year in college. Although it is not much of a difference in time, six to eight months makes a large difference in mental maturity for many young people.
