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.
