What I mean specifically have you ever been in a situation where you are in very sudden physical danger where you are forced to react without thinking? This is called fight or flight and it is a real phenomenon. People will auto response fight, run or freeze. Its not a conscious decision because there is no time for evaluation.

Its something you have no control over. No matter your personality or what you think of yourself you don't know what kind of man you are until tested. I actually feel bad for a man who will never know who he is in this manner. I think many people go through their whole lives never being tested in this way.

Unlike all those internet badasses here, I'm a run kind of guy in a truly SHTF situation.

I'll fight a cunt one on one when my thoughts are my own, but I know from one or two instances (once fought at knifepoint, once ganged up on alone by feral bunch of arabs at a night's club parking) that if the situation is so bad my most primitive lizard brain has to take over for me, it won't allow me to mindlessly run into the fray unless I'm literally cornered to a wall.
