People always mention fight and flight, but never freeze. I once remember I saw a dog running at me full speed and I froze for like 6 seconds before I registered what actually was happening and then I decided to go with flight (and thank God I did that I almost got bitten in my Achilles tendon and I felt the force of the bite in the air even though it didn’t hit me).
