I'm not too bad (only child syndrome means I get by alright on my own), but I do get jumpy when I've been watching too much Criminal Minds late at night, then have to walk around the flat shutting the curtains and getting ready for bed.

If I get home and no-one is there, my mind goes into 'psycho killer must be hiding in the under stairs cupboard' mode.
