When you are faced with a truly physically threatening situation, is your natural inclindation of fight or flight? Many people tend to be one or the other when faced with danger. My mother is definitely flight and laughs about it all the time. Where I take after my father and am definitely a fighting person. My husband I"m not too sure about, one child is flight, and the other child is definitely fight. So what are you?

You are forgetting freeze.
It really all depends on the situation. I have done all 3.
Somebody bigger than me, I am running.
Somebody smaller than me, I am fighting.
Somebody with a gun, I am freezing.

Flight, for two reasons, 1, I am a lover not a fighter, and 2 I am not able to fight.

I've never been faced with a situation to determine which defense tactic I would employ.
