It certainly helps to know yourself; but that alone
won't be enough to keep you safe online, or in the world. Sometimes
negative things just happen, even if you are as careful as possible.
I think their can be a danger in suggesting that the reasons these things happen are somehow the fault of the victim not knowing themselves enough or not having good enough boundaries. I'm sure you mean well; but since you posted this in the area regarding knowledge about safety, I wanted to add my input. Because victim blaming can often be a real problem. Not that I am implying that was your intention, but it can come across that way sometimes when people make general statements like this.
