why do people scream when they’re frightened?

373 views

I’m genuinely curious about this because it seems like every time I see footage from a disaster, shooting, etc. All you can hear is screaming when, in all honesty, it would be disadvantageous to do so (specifically in regards to aforementioned shootings) since that would draw more attention to one’s self.

If you’re already in danger you’re usually not going to add much danger by screaming, and you might either scare off the danger or have someone come help you.

It doesn’t work as well with modern dangers but historically most danger was stuff like wild animals where screaming is helpful.
