Reply #161: Then I have evolved past it. I don't feel fight or flight even

[PetraPooh]

when faced with violence. It interferes in the ability to make rational decisions and lengthens the time it takes to put those decisions into actions. Now I am not saying I have never fought, I have on occasion, but only after thinking if it was the right choice, not as a reaction. I must be an opposum, they don't fight or flight, they hold perfectly still. Hmmm, that might be it. I do tend to freeze while I analyze, then I act quickly and usually efficiently.

Also the idea one can't be trained out of the fight or flight response would probably be well argued by someone with martial arts (the whole art, not just the fighting aspect) training.
