It depends on the situation and my thoughts on the possible benefits of facing the challenge. For things that most people would consider "small" issues or fears (but were terrifying to me at the time) I now face them head on. It might be difficult to do it now, but it is going to be MUCH more torturous when you get later on down the line.
Depending on my mood I will follow different solutions. For example, when I am in a stressed or sadder mood I tend to run from all my problems and try to avoid anything that needs to get done. This involves schoolwork, gym, and being there for others in my life. However, if I am in a more positive and outgoing mood I will face my problems and get what I need to get done because it causes more harm to myself when I avoid my problems because they eventually add up.
I would prefer to run at times, but I tend to tackle the situation. However, my response would depend on the situation. With the fight or flight instinct many people's first mind may be flight if that is not an option then fight. If it is a life threatening situation and I have the opportunity to run, then I will probably run. If is it a problem involving conflict resolution, then I prefer to work through the problem. It is important to understand that most problems will not go away if you run, but get bigger. I was taught that problems usually worsen if you don't address them early. I am not a talkative person which makes addressing problems tough. Usually, I have to take a moment to devise the most assertive and professional way to address the issues at hand.
I prefer to run sometimes as well. Growing up, I was never taught about appropriate problem solving and healthy conflict. When conflict arises now, I notice that I don't necessarily handle everything in the best ways. It is difficult for me to stay and "fight". I have been told that I like to avoid difficult things, which is true. As I get older, I am trying to work on my approach which is a challenge, but I had to realize sometimes it's better to confront rather than to run.
I tend to stop, think out a plan and FIGHT. When faced with a difficult situation, I want to make sure I conquer it. I do not like failing or looking like I am unable to handle to what has been presented. Before I speak or act, I will plan the thought. I want to ensure I only say or do what is needed one time.
It doesn't matter what happens, and please, excuse my language if you run you are a bitch. Simple as that. If you can't fight through something, win or lose, no matter how difficult it is, you are going to be running for the rest of your life, because that's how your personal instincts take over. It sincerely doesn't matter. I'd rather die than run and I know the people standing beside me will do the same. It doesn't matter if you "lose" because loss is a false concept. You die trying. That is all.
When I am faced with a fight or flight option I usually get very tense or even scared but I do remain and engage in the fight. The closer the situation is to be life threatening the more fearful I become and the quicker I engage in resolving the situation, however; I have never been in a gun battle or anything like that. Usually the situations involve more than just me and I am the man and have to move forward to defend whoever needs defending.
When I am faced with a challenge I face it head on. I do not like to sit and let things go away passively overtime, I get too anxious for that. I like to go ahead and knock challenges out when they first appear. Some examples of things I like to knock out right away are due dates for assignments and packing days before I leave for a trip not the night before.
I can suggest that when faced with a challenge, it is generally better to tackle it rather than run for cover. Facing challenges can help you develop resilience, learn new skills, and grow as a person. Running away from challenges can lead to missed opportunities and a lack of personal growth. Of course, it's also important to evaluate the risks and benefits of any course of action before making a decision.
So when it comes to fight or flight, I tend to battle and face these situations head on. I look at every trial in my life as only temporary. I know that it's not going to last long and I always remind myself that I've been through worse and I was able to get out of that as well. I just try hard to work through it so I can get through it as quickly as possible. I'm always coming up with a million solutions. If you run from it, the issue is still there and you're not actually running from it, it's still there.
I usually do not run from a challenge. I tend to try to work out a solution. If I need help, i will ask for assistance. I learned a long time ago that even if you run from it, doesn't make it go away. Working it out is better than giving up.
I almost always will face a challenge. I like to look for solutions, continue trying until I can overcome it. Running away from problems would end up causing me harm. For me ignoring things cause me a lot of anxiety and I feel disappointed in myself. If it is a fight or flight situation - I guess it depends, I like to think I would always fight. However, if I am being attacked or there's some kind of disaster I am not capable of fighting, I would of course resort to flight!
I tend to sway both ways. When I’m in depressive episodes or my anxiety is high, I dent to run from challenges at any cost. I get upset with myself during these times and, for instances when it’s pertaining to school, I will go into full panic/manic mode and get every challenge I pushed off done in a short period of time. When not much is affecting me mentally, it feels like I can take on anything, and typically do. It just depends what state I’m in.
Same for me! I went through a very long depression with anxieties and from what I've studied, the system that controls the flight or fight response was malfunctioning and I got stuck in a freeze response for any type of fear. When I'm in a state of "normal" I do the same as far as avoiding things and then getting mad at myself and pushing out tons of work in very little time.
When I am faced with a challenge, I try to look for different ways to tackle the situation before I just result to flight. Most of the time I do result to flight because depending on the situation my adrenaline can get to high to the point I chicken out. In the beginning, I'll be ready to take on the challenge until my anxiety kicks in and end up giving up.
It depends on the situation. Most often than not, I would face a challenge head on. I love confrontations so I tend to tackle my problem and not put it aside. I just believe that there is no avoiding it so I don't have any reason to hide from it. Doing so will just prolong my agony. I am the kind of person who would have several plans to counter attack any problem although, of course, there were those times that my plans didn't go as I planned it to be. Nevertheless, I don't give up. The most important thing I do in every situation is to pray to God an ask Him of strength and wisdom to overcome any battle.
When I am faced with a challenge, I go through all sorts of emotions – fear, doubt, uncertainty, and disappointment. I do a long song and dance in my head. Should I tackle it, or should I run? If I run for cover, I don’t have to deal with it. If I tackle it, I might experience personal growth. In the end, how I respond depends on the challenge. For example, as a competitive gymnast for years, I faced challenges at each level of gymnastics. Those challenges pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to compete at a higher level each year. I remember when I first started to learn how to do a back handspring of the beam. It was different than when I did it on the floor. The thought of being on a thin beam and going backward in motion was terrifying. I faced the challenge by taking baby steps: working on the skill on the floor to get comfortable, then on a low beam, and finally on the high beam with a spotter. It took practice after practice and sometimes I nailed it in practice but not in competition. As I let go of fear and faced the challenge with determination, I started nailing it during my routine at competitions.
When in fight or flight I typically become frozen and disassociate. I am working on speaking up for myself when in a challenging situation. This can be difficult because I want to shut down. The best explanation I was ever told was to imagine a turtle, the turtle stays safe inside the shell yet still gets beat up. Then you have a tiger, the tiger is angry and aggressive and always ready to pounce. Then there is the owl, the owl knows when it's time to fly, observe or attack.
I'll be honest. I used to be a runner, and I think we all have flighted at least once in our lives, depending on the situation. Now that I have grown and gone through certain life experiences, there is a time to fight and a time to brush things off and move on. Not everything deserves a response, it will only consume you and your mental state.
When facing a challenge, tackling the issue rather than running away from it is what I would usually do. Tacking the battle allows me to gain experience, build resilience, and learn from the situation. However, assessing the situation and ensuring I am adequately prepared before acting is important.
When faced with a challenge, I've always been the type to tackle it head on. The reason for tackling it head on is because if its not addressed at some point, that doesn't mean it will go away. My thought has always been that its no point in prolonging something that can addressed and fixed so everyone has the ability to move forward.
Flight or fight, what should we choose? I believe flight is often the wiser option. Fighting should only be used as an absolute last resort in self defense or defense of others. It is always better to avoid direct confrontation if possible and remove yourself from a dangerous situation. Fighting frequently escalates conflict and leads to harm. By choosing to flee from a perilous circumstance, we can de-escalate tensions and call the authorities if needed. Flight over fight is the prudent choice for self preservation and maintaining peace.
When presented with the fight or flight options I would most likely choose flight. I would like to say that I would have the ability to fight but that is not likely. I often times choose to run in order to avoid confrontation. This is something that i would like to work on and hopefully change. I would much rather be a fight person.
Honestly, I would choose the battle because who doesn't like a few challenges in their life? I take them head on because wading them off won't solve anything. Challenges are ways to prove that we as humans are capable of preparing for the worst, with the best to come. Avoiding them only makes the matter longer and worse, all depending on the extent of the challenge. But I definitely am up for a challenge, I enjoy brain stimulation.
Truth be told, my fight or flight response has helped me out of numerous situations. In case some drastic events unfold in front of me, I'm accurately able to gauge how severe or harmful the situation is before I enter flight mode. Majority of the time I stay in fight mode because I realize most situations have solutions, you just have to figure them out. But, if the situation or event at hand is beyond my means, there is no reason for me to problem solve, but rather flee and think of a strategy for the next time I encounter a similar problem.
Depending on the severity of the issue at hand, I generally am an avoidant person who will try to simply stay away from things that are troublesome. Now if the situation involves social pressure or an issue, I am confident i can resolve i will be much more aggressive in how i choose to resolve the situation. I do try to be more forward in dealing with issues i am less confident with, however i will procrastinate in these situations and sometimes even pretend it isn't happening, which im aware is a very disadvantages behavior for most situations involving a fight or flight response.
I feel that it depends on the situation. Sometimes I feel confident enough to face the challenge/issue at hand. However, there has been times when I have ran away from the problem because i'm scared or anxious. I wish I could be a person to just face my challenges rather than run. I hate living in a world of fear that something bad is always gonna happen.
When faced with challenges in the past and currently, I have found that I prefer flight over fight (at first). I have come to believe that there is value in defaulting to flight (a majority of the times). When faced with a challenge, If I flee at first, then I am able to withdraw and think about the situation more in depth. I think there is value in not facing everything head on and withdrawing to think about the best way to tackle a situation. Most of the time I have found that even If I respond with "fight." I can still do so in a way that will have the best outcome. Sometimes a rushed fight response is not the best response.
Whenever I am faced with a challenge, I will rarely run. I prefer fight over flight as I am a very confrontational person. I do believe that there are times where the flight response takes precedence (such as being in a situation where life is at stake). If I initiated flight immediately, I would probably end up feeling regret for not taking action where I'd rather face the situation head on and worry about the consequences later. I will say, my reaction does depend on the level of confidence regarding the situation and both routes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
When I am faced with a challenge I prefer flight over fight. I am not a very confrontational person and I tend to avoid confrontation at all cost. I do think that there are times to fight back, especially if there is danger or there is no way to escape. I need time to think things through and mull over my reaction. I also second guess my decisions, so flight gives me time to think. I think there is merit in taking a slow approach instead of rushing to judgment and to a physical altercation.
I find it important to analyze a situation to the best of your ability before making a decision. you have to ask yourself, "is this something worth fighting for?" and "what are the odds that I will be successful?" Do not take the risk if your odds are low. Often times, the choice to escape can simply be a way to keep peace (Depending on the situation).
As I have matured I have gotten more into the Tend and Befriend cycle of the Fight, Flight, or Freeze dynamic. Earlier in life I was definitely a fighter, and actually took pride in being "confrontational". Once I had children I started being more mindful of the energy I put out into the world.
I think it depends on the nature of the challenge and the possible outcomes. Sometimes, it is better to face the problem head-on and try to overcome it with courage and determination. Other times, it might be wiser to avoid unnecessary conflict and seek a more peaceful or alternative solution. There is no one right answer, as different situations may require different approaches.
I usually face most challenges head on...I experience a lot of them I I like to think that I'm used to it. But I have noticed going back to school later in life has made me freeze up on occasion. I believe it is because it has been so long since I have attended school that I lack the confidence that I once had and I doubt my abilities.
Honestly, I think it just depends on what the challenge is. I want to say that I take on any challenge thrown at me, but I know that isn't true. There are times where I have chosen the easy way out instead of facing a challenge. However, since becoming a parent, I have noticed I choose to face most all challenges no matter the hardship because I want to set an example for my kid. I want to be able to say I did it and so can you.
i think it depends on the nature of the challenge if too hard and you take it on but you realize you cant do it that can be more of flight cause you didn't tackle the task you took the easy way out i know for me if something was to happen for a while i dont do nothing cause im trying to process and then i try to find ways to tackle the challenge
With any obstacle in life, i believe taking the challenge head on and going through the hard times. This will almost always lead to some form of growth and success.
It would depend on the situation. If I felt like I couldn't adequately handle it alone I would run for cover. If it was a situation I could handle or one where running for cover was an option then I would have no choice but to tackle the battle. Sometimes I think we are stronger than we think we are to handle tough situations mentally or physically.
It depends on the situation and the specific challenge at hand. In general, I believe it is important to confront challenges head-on and try to find a solution. Running and avoiding the problem may only prolong the issue and create more difficulties in the future. However, there are times when it may be wise to step back and assess the situation before taking action. Ultimately, I believe in facing challenges with courage and determination.
I use to face a situation head on in the past. I would react and deal with situations out of emotions responding with little to no thought about the situation. Through growth and changing my perspective about this thing called life. I have learned face situations head on with a different approach and that is to think it through first. Now for the receiving end it may look like I am running and avoiding at that particular time but when I take a step back into the challenge I am coming back for the win.
In my life I have had my fair share of good and bad experiences, most of what I have gone through would deter others from trying. I have had times when my initial instinct is to stop, drop and run. Through these experiences though I have grown into a stronger mindset, and I tend to bounce back from things a little easier. Now I face my challenges and obstacles with a more positive outlook, even when I am nervous or scared that I may not succeed. I would rather look back on my life and say hey I did that, or at least I tried. I don't want to go through life thinking about the "what ifs" so I will give anything my best shot and know that at least I did not run.
When I am face with the challenge, I battle it I do not run! Running is not going to keep the problem away. It is going to continue to be there. I’ve learned to face my challenges head! I had to understand The outcome isn’t always easy. The Chamas that I have face in my childhood allow me to face my problems head on! My goal is to always overcome the challenge and to see my growth and overcoming obstacles.
Personally for me I think it depends on the situation. When I was younger I would run for cover and my mom would handle things for me. As I got older I was taught to always defend myself in any situation. Now, I'm a "face the challenge" kind of person and I always speak my mind even if it will hurt someones' feelings. I always stand up for others and throughout high school I would always stand up to someone that was trying to be a bully. I don't tolerate bullying.
When I am faced with a problem rather it be a quick moment or a situation I will most likely choose to run. Running is the easy option even if it's not the most effective in actually dealing with the problem.
Out of a fight or flight response I will flight most of the time. I have different triggers from my childhood and if I feel abandoned or rejected, I will choose flight every time. I have to feel safe in any situation or I will run to a place that I feel secure in. It depends on the situation if I would fight. If it has something to do with my kids I will fight or a situation I know I'm in the right I will fight.
Usually when I am faced with a challenge I tackle it. I think anything worth having should cause a little fear mixed with a lot of excitement & the fastest way to conquer a challenge is to face it head on. The more you run away from it & avoid it, the longer it will take to master. & as I'm going through the tough periods, I constantly recite, "this too shall pass, " in my head. Storms & tough times can't last always...always remember that they are only for a season. Just keep pushing & you'll always get over to the other side. But if you turn & go back, you will never accomplish anything worth having & the thought of you quitting will eat you up more than any challenge will.
Honestly, it depends on how serious the situation is. I feel like some situations can be looked over and others require more attention. Most of the time I like to tackle the battle head on because I like to voice my opinion and get to the bottoms of things. I do not like to let things go too often because it will haunt me, and I would regret not speaking up. Although, in some situation I use flight but if I had to choose between the two I choose FIGHT.
If the challenge does not impact my safety negatively, then I may pursue it and fight. I like challenges and I want to see if I can do them. Most of the time, I can handle challenges and succeed at doing them. If it is a challenge that I cannot do because I do not have the knowledge or skills to do it, then I will choose flight. However, if it is a challenge that is new to me but I believe I can do it, I will fight and accept the challenge. When I believe I can do something, most of the time I can. If I cannot do it, then I regroup, get the knowledge, skill, and support and fight to do it again.
If I'm facing a challenge I'm usually the type of person to tackle it right then and there to get it over with. My first instincts usually will not be to take cover do to the fact that I'm quick with reflexes.
It depends on the situation and my thoughts on the possible benefits of facing the challenge. For things that most people would consider "small" issues or fears (but were terrifying to me at the time) I now face them head on. It might be difficult to do it now, but it is going to be MUCH more torturous when you get later on down the line.

I do believe that there are times where the flight response takes precedence (such as being in a situation where life is at stake). If I initiated flight immediately, I would probably end up feeling regret for not taking action where I'd rather face the situation head on and worry about the consequences later. I will say, my reaction does depend on the level of confidence regarding the situation and both routes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am faced with a challenge I prefer flight over fight. I am not a very confrontational person and I tend to avoid confrontation at all cost. I do think that there are times to fight back, especially if there is danger or there is no way to escape. I need time to think things through and mull over my reaction. I also second guess my decisions, so flight gives me time to think. I think there is merit in taking a slow approach instead of rushing to judgment and to a physical altercation.
ReplyDeleteI find it important to analyze a situation to the best of your ability before making a decision. you have to ask yourself, "is this something worth fighting for?" and "what are the odds that I will be successful?" Do not take the risk if your odds are low. Often times, the choice to escape can simply be a way to keep peace (Depending on the situation).
ReplyDeleteAs I have matured I have gotten more into the Tend and Befriend cycle of the Fight, Flight, or Freeze dynamic. Earlier in life I was definitely a fighter, and actually took pride in being "confrontational". Once I had children I started being more mindful of the energy I put out into the world.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on the nature of the challenge and the possible outcomes. Sometimes, it is better to face the problem head-on and try to overcome it with courage and determination. Other times, it might be wiser to avoid unnecessary conflict and seek a more peaceful or alternative solution. There is no one right answer, as different situations may require different approaches.
ReplyDeleteI usually face most challenges head on...I experience a lot of them I I like to think that I'm used to it. But I have noticed going back to school later in life has made me freeze up on occasion. I believe it is because it has been so long since I have attended school that I lack the confidence that I once had and I doubt my abilities.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think it just depends on what the challenge is. I want to say that I take on any challenge thrown at me, but I know that isn't true. There are times where I have chosen the easy way out instead of facing a challenge. However, since becoming a parent, I have noticed I choose to face most all challenges no matter the hardship because I want to set an example for my kid. I want to be able to say I did it and so can you.
ReplyDeletei think it depends on the nature of the challenge if too hard and you take it on but you realize you cant do it that can be more of flight cause you didn't tackle the task you took the easy way out i know for me if something was to happen for a while i dont do nothing cause im trying to process and then i try to find ways to tackle the challenge
ReplyDeleteWith any obstacle in life, i believe taking the challenge head on and going through the hard times. This will almost always lead to some form of growth and success.
ReplyDeleteIt would depend on the situation. If I felt like I couldn't adequately handle it alone I would run for cover. If it was a situation I could handle or one where running for cover was an option then I would have no choice but to tackle the battle. Sometimes I think we are stronger than we think we are to handle tough situations mentally or physically.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the situation and the specific challenge at hand. In general, I believe it is important to confront challenges head-on and try to find a solution. Running and avoiding the problem may only prolong the issue and create more difficulties in the future. However, there are times when it may be wise to step back and assess the situation before taking action. Ultimately, I believe in facing challenges with courage and determination.
ReplyDeleteI use to face a situation head on in the past. I would react and deal with situations out of emotions responding with little to no thought about the situation. Through growth and changing my perspective about this thing called life. I have learned face situations head on with a different approach and that is to think it through first. Now for the receiving end it may look like I am running and avoiding at that particular time but when I take a step back into the challenge I am coming back for the win.
ReplyDeleteIn my life I have had my fair share of good and bad experiences, most of what I have gone through would deter others from trying. I have had times when my initial instinct is to stop, drop and run. Through these experiences though I have grown into a stronger mindset, and I tend to bounce back from things a little easier. Now I face my challenges and obstacles with a more positive outlook, even when I am nervous or scared that I may not succeed. I would rather look back on my life and say hey I did that, or at least I tried. I don't want to go through life thinking about the "what ifs" so I will give anything my best shot and know that at least I did not run.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am face with the challenge, I battle it I do not run! Running is not going to keep the problem away. It is going to continue to be there. I’ve learned to face my challenges head! I had to understand The outcome isn’t always easy. The Chamas that I have face in my childhood allow me to face my problems head on! My goal is to always overcome the challenge and to see my growth and overcoming obstacles.
ReplyDeletePersonally for me I think it depends on the situation. When I was younger I would run for cover and my mom would handle things for me. As I got older I was taught to always defend myself in any situation. Now, I'm a "face the challenge" kind of person and I always speak my mind even if it will hurt someones' feelings. I always stand up for others and throughout high school I would always stand up to someone that was trying to be a bully. I don't tolerate bullying.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am faced with a problem rather it be a quick moment or a situation I will most likely choose to run. Running is the easy option even if it's not the most effective in actually dealing with the problem.
ReplyDeleteOut of a fight or flight response I will flight most of the time. I have different triggers from my childhood and if I feel abandoned or rejected, I will choose flight every time. I have to feel safe in any situation or I will run to a place that I feel secure in. It depends on the situation if I would fight. If it has something to do with my kids I will fight or a situation I know I'm in the right I will fight.
ReplyDeleteUsually when I am faced with a challenge I tackle it. I think anything worth having should cause a little fear mixed with a lot of excitement & the fastest way to conquer a challenge is to face it head on. The more you run away from it & avoid it, the longer it will take to master. & as I'm going through the tough periods, I constantly recite, "this too shall pass, " in my head. Storms & tough times can't last always...always remember that they are only for a season. Just keep pushing & you'll always get over to the other side. But if you turn & go back, you will never accomplish anything worth having & the thought of you quitting will eat you up more than any challenge will.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it depends on how serious the situation is. I feel like some situations can be looked over and others require more attention. Most of the time I like to tackle the battle head on because I like to voice my opinion and get to the bottoms of things. I do not like to let things go too often because it will haunt me, and I would regret not speaking up. Although, in some situation I use flight but if I had to choose between the two I choose FIGHT.
ReplyDeleteIf the challenge does not impact my safety negatively, then I may pursue it and fight. I like challenges and I want to see if I can do them. Most of the time, I can handle challenges and succeed at doing them. If it is a challenge that I cannot do because I do not have the knowledge or skills to do it, then I will choose flight. However, if it is a challenge that is new to me but I believe I can do it, I will fight and accept the challenge. When I believe I can do something, most of the time I can. If I cannot do it, then I regroup, get the knowledge, skill, and support and fight to do it again.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm facing a challenge I'm usually the type of person to tackle it right then and there to get it over with. My first instincts usually will not be to take cover do to the fact that I'm quick with reflexes.
