These are all instances I have actually decked someone and everyone always says I’ve overreacted. Unfortunately I got the “fight” response in the fight, flight, or flee fear response and end up running after and finding some hidden corner to shake like a leaf in but I have a few I’m gonna need to relearn that in coming years or just stay at home.
