One good trick is, when you are in a restaurant or public place, is to try and get the “gunfighter’s seat”. Sit with your back to a corner, where you can see everyone who enters, and nobody can approach you from behind.
I do that.

That’s not a trick....seasoned LEOs and soldiers are taught to do this. I remember walking into a restaurant and seeing a couple of local police sitting in the middle of the restaurant. When I told them I was surprised they weren’t seated in a corner, they said they had forgotten about that momentarily. Are you kidding me?
hey...tell my wife I’m not nuts !
I used to date a man who always did that; but he was guarding against a loony ex-wife ;-)

Same here. Pick a spot where you can see people coming in and practice profiling them inconspicuously.
One caveat to the Gunfighters seat. Make sure you have a clear path to an alternate exit. You don’t want to end up cornered. Always scope out two paths of retreat.

Legend has it that Wild Bill Hickock never sat with his back to the door. The one time he did, Jack McCall came in through that door.
Beau thinks I’m weird for always doing that. Army Training, Sir!
I’m the ONLY reason he’s still alive, LOL!
I never ever sit with my back to the door. Ever. It’s one of my rules.
