Humans tend to act in many different degrees of ways when dealing with danger, not just fight or flight.

1. Fight (punch it)

2..avoid (see the danger but find a way to get around it.

3. neglect (stick your head in the sand and say it isn't dangerous, go numb emotionally.

4. Flight run away.

5. succumb let it hurt you without fighting back (not defending your self or doing what you know you need to do, overwhelmed

Flight first?

@dski1 What you are explaining is courage. The fact that your heart beats faster and so forth is because you are anticipating the result of your actions.

I only know it as fear or courage anything else is complicated talk about the obvious.

It's like you either can or you can't you will or you won't you did or you didn't.

No one cares about the excuses or what is between the lines.

Fight is Courage Flight is Fear.
