Maybe I am armchair quarterbacking too much. I’ve just in my job had to focus on personal safety constantly when around people who are sometimes psychotic and/or on hard drugs with a history of violence. Sometimes I even have to set a boundary and tell them no, tell them that this thing they really want is not going to happen. And before I do in my mind my first priority is thinking how can I best do this in a way that is not going to provoke an attack
I’m never scared of them usually, not that I’m allowed to fight back though. It’s the incident report, the de-briefing with the supervisor after, that’s the nightmare I don’t want to face
So I’m projecting my constant concern for personal safety when executing a job on an idealistic 17yr old kid. Might indeed be quarterbacking too much
