ElI5: What is the reason our body jumps when we get scared? What does this response actually do to help us?
In: Biology
It’s the flight response. Your body getting flooded with chemicals telling you to run and your muscles react accordingly. It’s not everyone that does this. Personally, I dont jump when I’m startled. I default to wanting to attack it. My offspring have learned not to jump out at me in the dark because i’ve sent them flying before.
