Fight, Flight or Freeze?

(mentally) run as fast as I can in an opposite direction in general. Avoid all I can. (I don't trust myself to remain calm during confrontation when the focus is personal and on me. It evokes a monster)

... Unless it involves trying to protect someone else...or stick up for an underdog, protect the vulnerable.
I almost change personality.

Very confident and self assured. Assertive, direct, succinct. My heart rate barely increases and I get 'clever' with my mouth to try to avoid anything physical.
At no point do I worry about any possible consequences. I have no regard for my personal safety in these instances.

I'm " in it to win it"
My desired outcome.

I'm that random stranger who steps in and tries to change the odds in a victims favour.

Do you do work on the side? I have a list of names.

I try to suppress anger as its usually, to use royal speak 'a bit much'

A bit like falling down,micheal Douglas wants a breakfast at 11.05 and they wouldn't serve him.
So i can over react in similar extreme situations as that.
