Confronting a stranger on my property

I went to escort my dog to my bedroom where he sleeps, and I suddenly hear talking outside of my bedroom window.

I rolled up the shades and because it is dark and nighttime, I finally see this guy on my driveway talking to someone on his cell phone.

Instead of freaking out and cowering with paranoia, I quickly turned on the porch light and confronted him, asking him if I could help him.

Turns out he was a lost delivery guy looking for an address so he can deliver food. As he approached me to get directions, I told him to stop and come no further -afterall he was a stranger.
Turned out legit, but it was a scary situation for someone as paranoid and anxious as me - but I was proud of myself to face the fear

Good job wave. I used to be a delivery driver so I know the guys predicament I’m glad you were reasonable with him.

Great! You assessed the situation and made a good decision. He was just a delivery guy and you helped him out. He had a flip phone I assume? He could have looked up the directions on his own otherwise.

You did well to overcome fear. You are courageous.

Think how paranoid you would be if you hadn’t confronted him.
