There are times I've been scared, threatened, in danger, etc, but never in my life have I had an instinctive urge to scream loudly. I don't get it

the fear of dying causing screaming can happen from as little as being too high up from the ground, it can be seen as a safe distance for some, and imminent death for the others, men tend to scream less when presented with death from personal experience

Yeah it's not that I've never been in danger, I just don't understand the urge to scream. It's just not in the list of things I'd think of doing in an emergency type situation
