If it is only about feeling safe as opposed to actually being safe then I think this would not change things much.
Psychopaths are very good at getting people to trust them which would imply feeling safe also. Common things they end up doing are becoming CEO's, or serial killers largely as a result of that trait. Of course there are exceptions.
Yep, most profilic serial killers were quite good at gaining trust of their victims and subsequently doing that same thing with police. So for their victims it quite often was meeting the loviest person up until one last shocking realization of their lives.
I would be pretty bad at protecting someone from anyone who wanted to harm them but I do make people feel comfortable. They are therefore unlikely to be much safer with me than they are alone. They do feel safer and more comfortable around me though.
The way you meant it I think I agree though.
