it true that when your really really scared you can't move??

Question

is it true*

Answer 1

not really. its mostly because people dont know what to do or how to react. like sexual violence for example. many times women dont know what to do, so they dont fight back, they freeze and quite a lot of times rapes could be stopped. a trained person in special forces will know what to do cause of quick reflexes and boldness in their mind, but usual civilians arent always bold and aggressive, so thats why we dont move or act.

Answer 2

I would say it depends on the person more than anything. I was chased by a black bear and cubs once. If I didnt move I would have been lunch for a very mad mamma bear. I had no trouble getting out of her way. She did chase me for a ways but I started yelling at her and she finally decided to leave me alone.

Answer 3

For a lot of people it is. Adrenaline shock -can- sort of paralyze a person. But those of us who have had a lot of training (and a lot of 'real-world' practice and experience ☺) find it quite easy to use that adrenaline rush as it was intended.

Answer 4

Yes, particularly if waking after a very scary dream.

Answer 5

first of all, it depends on the person and how tough is he/she
when someone is really scared, he/she becomes v confused and hesitate in every move he/she makes... that's wut we call "cant move" but finally he/she is gonna move for sure,
some people die when they feel v scared , that depends on their physical health and for sure their mental health...

Answer 6

for me, it is because it's like when you're scared, you're too afraid to move for something might happen. i've experienced such thing. the only thing i did was to shout for help. hahaha

Answer 7

I think it depends on the person and what is scaring you.

Answer 8

Ya and you pee your pants.
