First things first, always trust your instincts! Let's say you are walking your dog 1) ..... apart/away/aside/ along a lonely road one evening and you suddenly get the feeling that you are being watched. Well, that could be your intuition 2) ..... saying/speaking/telling/talking you that it would be a good idea to get 3) ..... onto/ back/across/down a busier road as quickly as possible. Also, if you ever do find yourself in a threatening situation, don't do anything that could 4) ..... make/do/ change/turn the situation worse. If a mugger tries to snatch your bag in the street, for example, give it to him immediately without putting up a fight. If you try to fight or run, the attacker could become violent and you could end 5) ..... for/to/by/up getting hurt. In the same 6) ..... manner/way/style/mode, if a stranger in the street or even someone you know says something insulting to you, don't say something rude back. Just walk away calmly without getting into a fight. Basically, don't take risks!
