  • I've been robbed twice and I just gave them what they wanted. It's better to lose some bucks than to go to the hospital. I didn't lose anything too valuable anyway.

    One of my fears as someone who walks pretty much everywhere.

  • Was in two threatening situations before and both times I ran. But with the first incident I pushed the person away as hard as I could an then ran away and called the police.


    But I’m usually good in sensing potential dangerous situations and was able to avoid anything serious happening to me. But than again as an African my parents told my siblings and me that where they are from you can’t wait for help, you have to learn to protect yourself, so they passed that unto us.

  • From the situations I've been in, it varies between fight and flight, majority being fight.

    Due to where I grew up, I learnt to assess my surroundings much quicker and the risk required with either action.

    Although I've learnt to restrain my fight response, Like if someone I know tries to scare me as a prank, I have to hold back every ounce of myself not to go deck the person automatically, so it looks weird because my body looks awkward cause I catch my arm in mid motion when it happens.

  • I agree with that

    unfortunately instinct take over for me and I'm really to fight even if the opponent is bigger than me


    Not safe at all

    Yeah...I think that learning self-defense is helpful from defending yourself from danger but you still have to have focus and not let the fear and adrenaline overtake your mind.


    I would run even if my mind says no.

  • Freeze and will Fight, few instances is what happened.

    Two Stories - During a Street Party some Drunk Guy is spouting off in front of me about idk. I'm several inches taller and weighed twice as much as him. He quickly lost interest when being so close to me.

    Second story I was waiting in the Car awhile someone was shopping. I was messing around with a Dash Mounted GPS. Very impressed with its features. Some guy comes up angrily saying I was watching his GF. I did notice her outside the Store, but not checking her out. Just focused on the GPS and saying as much to the guy. He still yelling so I get out of the car and notice his eyes get real big seeing huge guy standing in front of him. I wasn't looking at your GF I say and he left.

  • Run.

    Which know, because when I was walking home through the forest with some friends and something startled me, I just ran like my life depended on it. Funny thing was that my friends, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, ran too, convinced that someone awful had to be behind us. So we all ran and ran... Until we were out of breath and one of my friends asked "why are we running?" and nobody could really say why.
