honestly, i have to say hardly ever - maybe never - i go into a "deal-with-it" mode and later i react to situations. i've been in 4 fires, had a dog rip my arm open to the bone, and other stuff and i have always gone to really clear thinking when the situation arose. prolly the most scared i've been was AFTER the dog bite around other dogs - i had to relearn trust and i learned to be alpha with animals then.
how many members of the other sex have you "known"?
