Are you into Fight or Flight?

I'm not "into" either, but assuming that you are asking me what I would do if someone tried to pick a fight with me, the answer would be that I would talk my way out of it. I've got a pretty good knack for avoiding violence. It comes in handy in my line of work. If need be, I'm capable of defending myself. I have been trained how to control unruly people. It is better to diffuse the situation before it gets physical, but if I have to, I can put someone on the ground and immobilise them without hurting them too much. Or I could remove them from the premises. It is only necessary to inflict enough pain to demonstrate that you are in control of the situation. A little twist of the arm and they will stop struggling.

I'm into 'startled bunny' - that is my general reaction to dangerous situations. Just stand there wide-eyed frozen to the spot.

Right now I'm up with "Fight". Flight is very tempting - but I've tried that - I'm kind of enjoying being in fight mode. So far it's only been rude old men trying to boss me around - but there's satisfaction in confronting them. I wish one of them would fight me.

What does this mean? Confrontation vs avoidance?

Cool. You'd make a good bodyguard.

Neither. I went to one boxing match in my life (it was a job - I was one of the round card girls) and I fly only if I have too!

I might be way off track here...

After reading Zang's reply; I realize that I WAS off track! I'm so rarely a witness or subject of violence that it was not the first thing that came to mind...

I get a lot of verbal confrontations at work, though and I sure don't back down from those!!

I'd rather work it out... but my instinctive reaction varies between fight and flight, some situations I just want to walk away from, some I want to fight about

I'm not really into either, but I guess I tend to fight more often.

Usually flight -- I'm small and couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag. When it comes to my or someone else's rights, however, I tend to fight.

I'm a lover not a fighter.

Flight!

well, I am into fighting while flying, but also into flying while fighting, wait a minute, wtf, why am I answering a stupid survey as this.

what the hell, is there some kind of a hidden context. I sure dont see one.

Wow, a Michael Jackson quote! (I guess the doggone girl *is* yours)

Fight and Flight is about what you do in situations where you're not doing what you think you should, you just do what you do. Usually that's geared towards different situations. It isn't about being into one or the other.

Neither! (It's the word "into" that gets me)

If you are asking which one I would do in a situation, it depends on the situation.

Neither.I'm for resisting and not attacking.

I'd rather run if it's a physical thing.
Can't do that right now with my back/leg acting this way though.

I'm sure someone said it before the King of Pop did?! ...dunno who though.

I'm sure you're right. It sounds specifically like a very 60's replacement for "I'd rather fight than switch" .

I'm not "into" either. But, I'm more likely to stand up for myself than run away.

I don't like to fight. However, I don't really like to fly either. I tolerate it because I like to travel, but I don't enjoy the experience of being on an airplane anymore. I enjoyed the first 20 minutes of my first memorable airplane ride ever, and that was it. So, I am no really into fight or flight.

Flight. I'm an aviation enthusiast.

It's not something I would like to have to use. Like I said, I'm much better at diffusing the situation before it happens, which is certainly preferable. For the past few years, I've been working in the mental health field, so it is handy to know these things. Better still is to know how to avoid having to use it.

Depends on the situation, if I think I will say terrible things that will be detrimental, I take the flight option. If I think that something needs to be resolved and there is no other way than a fight, I will fight it out, although I will likely cave quickly unless I am really pissed!

Other: Maturity.

I have a tendency towards flight
I'm working on standing ground

Well I would have to say it depends on the situation and type of flight/fight.

Depends on the situation.

If in the case of defending myself or a woman I'll fight every time, and I've only lost once.

I am assuming you are asking if I would run away from a fight or not. Well, if I was only protecting myself then of course I would fudging run. However if I were protecting like my little sister or mom or anyone who close to me I would either fight or run with them.

If you hit me first...it's game...otherwise I'm not about to start a physical fight over a bunch of asinine words

I run away from everything.
