Fight,Flight, Or Freeze?

The only time I can think of when this happened to me when I was younger and almost got hit by a car. I ended up freezing like a deer in headlights. I was also about 8 years old at the time.

I would think that might be natural when you are little...maybe not though..

I've always been instinctual when something chaotic or intense is happening. My father has been a firefighter for 35 years so maybe some of that has rubbed off on me. I'm the type of person that will get everybody out of a burning car and then going down with flames even though fire is my greatest fear.

My girlfriend at the time passed out at an Opeth concert. I dragged out out and kind of had a conniption thinking she was suffering from a brain aneurysm or something and was screaming at people t get the f*ck out of my way. Everybody at the back bar thought she was drunk. I ended that when I jumped the bar to call an ambulance when the bartender told me to just give her water. I don't f*ck around. Turns out she hadn't eaten for two days because she was stressed out from a fight we had. Women.

I also discovered a man in the woods behind my house who had been in an ATV accident. He was pinned up against a tree and his leg looked like mangled shredded beef. I took my shirt off and told him to wrap it around "the bloody parts" and ran down the hill to call 911. They saved the leg.

Even just recently my pup had an allergic reaction to onions and my parents thought she'd be fine until morning. I drove her a half hour to the nearest animal shelter and ended up saving her life.

I guess you could call me Batman.
