What do you do when your scared?

[kris]

When I get scared, I sutomatically look for something to do outside myself. When someone's hurt, I'm terrified, but I try to remember what to do to help them, keep myself occipied so they don't see I'm scared. It's easy to do that when there's others around, but when you're home alone, and that's the very reason you're scared...makes it kinda hard. So I either play games or curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep. u.u

One of the reasons I almost never show fear in front of others. I don't want to be part of the stampede running and hurting more than the fear it's self. I feel confterbul enough to say I haven't cryed myself to sleep from fear just from my impending sence of self worthlessness.

I yawn a lot, probably because being anxious affects my breathing.
Before I do anything in front of an audience I quietly and rapidly recite David O'Doherty's "F.A.Q for the D.O.D". It takes about 3-4 times around to get me calmer. Rain Man much?

If I get scared...I just continue doing what I'm doing. I know, boring, but if I am really disturbed by something, then usually I try to overcome it. I used to be afraid of the brain from Contra III when I was young, I didn't face it until I was 13 then I felt I could do that with almost everything else.

If im having a PTSD episode, I get the shakes, my pupils widen, and I sweat severly.
(I was vicously attacked by a dog when I was 5. The scar on my face is almost gone.)

Really, I react do different situations in different ways.
If someone gets hurt, I blank out all emotions and take an immediate assesment of the situation, and try to help them as best I can.
If im being confronted, I try to calm the person down, find out why he is so angry, then try to talk to him.
Of course I feel fear when confronted, (which isnt often, even the bullies tend to be "nice"ish sometimes), fear is a natural feeling nature gave us.
Its ok to fear, but panic is something different. You should never try to panic. Thats when you lose all power of rational thinking. Then things can get ugly. ):

Anyway, I try to keep my emotions in check and react in whatever way I find best for my well-being and immediate safety.

All of the time when my parents fought last year I didn't shed a tear. When I took a nap once I woke to my brother saying. "Moms gone she's with dad." Then proceeded to trash the house while I was unusually calm. When he left my brother punched a metal door I felt nothing and was (as close to fear as I could get)afraid. yet none of my common fear instincts happened. Long story short I didn't cry for 2 and a 1/2 years that made me afraid. I displayed common fear once a week. In my head mostly. drama nights at the school was the worst. Always fearing being kicked out at night while waiting for my mom. But in moments of injury I'm a leader if someone is bleeding from there skull I know exactly what to do. If someone brings a gun with the intent to use it I'll put all 119lb to use to tackle them. My adrenaline helps quite a bit with that. I generally avoid confrontation though I' the kind of guy who's too commonly a scapegoat.

When I get truly scared, my my gets something similar to what happens when my computer gets a virus.
Complete and total blankness.
It's like being born anew. Absoloodle

Well im against fighting so I avoid confrontations anyway.

Eventhough my first post in this thread says not much scares me, it is a lie >.>. I couldn't think of anything at the time. anyway when i do get scared i will listen to music, read a webcomic, watch a cartoon, play a videogame.

There's a lot of different types of fear. If I come home from school and the door's unlocked and nobody's there, I'll grab a knife or scissors from the kitchen. Sometimes I've noticed I'll just talk to myself out loud. Like if it's night time and I'm working on something in the basement. I had to sleep with a night light until I was like 13. I used to think that there were invisible monsters that were having a party whenever I looked away at night. It was weird.

Shake uncontrollably, break down and cry. I hate when people scare me and horror movies.

[Scramjet]

If it's a person that scares me, I'll swear at them at the top of my lungs for being an idiot. I don't take it kindly.

[Fangzthewolf]

I act indifferent to the situation. The worst thing that might happen is that I might flinch.

[SilentHill]

Being Scared Is it huh?
Uh I Do This.

me : *sighs* Ah Fuck WhatEver.

Cringe, Paralyze, Focus amplified, maybe even start crying....

I tend to act differently when I get scared like everything but my arms freeze and I try to see what it is. If I have a friend there I show fear but I normally try to face whatever it is which is a bad idea for one time I found a bear and I learned that day I could run very fast if I need too.
