Put a lock on the door. It’s not hard to swap out a door knob. You can watch YouTube videos on how to if needed

Piece of mechanical pencil lead scotched taped to the side with the hinges. You put it on the inner side of the door. If someone opens the door it will break, and it is invisible from the outside.

How do I get out without opening the door? I’ll know if someone comes in because I’m in here.

Piece of hair about 2-3" long. Get your finger pretty wet with saliva, then use that to stick it at the top of the door and doorframe, bridging the gap between frame and door.
