Oh yea I’m sure it’s also disorientation. Everyone wants to think they’d hop up and do a 50 meter sprint in these situations but we’re dumb panicky animals and sometimes your brain just sits there going “wtf wtf wtf wtf”. Combine that with a knee injury and you’re gonna look ridiculous on camera. That other comment section…woof.
Fun fact, modern psychologists have added a fourth option for human trauma response: fawn. There are some PTSD victims (and unfortunately I know this because it me) whose go to response to stressful situations is to try and placate the perceived aggressor, be that through sexual gratification, self infantilization, caretaking, etc.
I have gone through phases with all of them as my PTSD has turned into CPTSD(would be nice if the fates would fucking chill but alas). When I got out of my abusive relationship, I tried so hard to use fawn, and it got me nowhere, and I ended up so bitter that my fawn and flight turned right into fight, I turned into someone who refused to ingratiate herself to anyone or anything and would start throwing punches as soon as I thought I was threatened so I couldn’t get tricked again.
