Think of how you would fight, flight, or freeze when you need to do something but don't want to.
You have to choose between riding a boat or staying with your friends.
- Fight the friends (or the boat captain)
- Run away so you don't go on the boat but avoid your friends
- Freeze and choose neither (albeit if you freeze long enough you get the option of staying with your friends)
You get bubblegum stuck in your hair while walking.
- Fight the students but risk getting in trouble
- Run away and risk looking like a dork and inciting extra harassment
- Freeze (but you didn't realize your bully had a bubblegum gun)
You find out your product didn't sell well at a business meeting
- Fight the marketing manager
- Run away from the meeting, likely in tears
- Freeze (the most realistic response)
You're ten minutes late to class
- Fight the clock so time would warp back to normal
- Run away and drive home
- Freeze and don't get in your seat or learn anything
There's a grease fire
- Fight the fire with your fists
- Run away even though it is possible for you to turn off the stove
- Freeze and don't run at all
