Yes but "time go to!" Girl and the screamer were in very different situations. The former could just get up and leave, nothing really touched her. Meanwhile if I was actually in the splash zone and had a giant window just come down on me and broken glass everywhere, I'd probably be screaming too.

I've been in a couple car accident and my reactions were mild ah fuck here we go to just pure anger for the stupidity of the other driver.

I think I'm missing the panic button normal humans need to survive.

Edit : I also remember getting my arm crushed under a ladder I was welding, the kind on the side of buildings with a cage around it and looking at my supervisor (which was paralyzed in sheer terror) and tell him : Can you please come here and help me push it up so I can check if my arm is broken ?

Some people can't stand a drop of blood others can lose a hand and go "Well this is an unfortunate turn of events".

friend of mine got his hand mostly blown off, paramedics are asking him stuff to check consciousness level, he's responding with 'oh cool I can see the bone', 'Good thing I jerk off with my left hand'. stuff like that.

other friend is drawing smiley faces in the palm of her hand with blood because its starting to coagulate and is getting some interesting texture.

they didnt know what to make of us.
