To the basics.




When faced with fear, a person has four main responses: fight, flight, flatter, or freeze. Fight is when a person stands up for themselves and defends themselves against the fear. Flight is when a person tries to escape the source of their fear. Flatter is when a person attempts to appease or placate the source of their fear. Freeze is when a person is so overwhelmed by fear that they become immobilized and unable to take any action. (ao)
“None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.”
Baruch Spinoza

ChatGPT (jan23):
“Flight, fight, freeze, flatter” is a phrase that is often used to describe the four ways that people tend to respond to stress or threat. The “flight” response refers to the tendency to flee or avoid the source of stress. The “fight” response refers to the tendency to confront or challenge the source of stress. The “freeze” response refers to the tendency to freeze or withdraw in the face of stress. Finally, the “flatter” response refers to the tendency to placate or appease the source of stress in order to avoid confrontation.
