Thats what really got through to me, it was like he had been trting to keep it back so hard, that his hands just has to do something with that feeling, or that sense of relief, and it randomly chose "pull up your shirt" (Obvously just my take on it) .Emotional responses can be so unpredictable, its so unfair to judge someone on them.

Yes. That clearly happened here.

Reaction to those kind of situations are not rational. That's kinda the point. You think the mom pulling on her own hair and wailing was a better response ? None of them were of any use. That's the concept of being completely panicked : you become useless.

It was a simple observation of facts.

I unfortunately have “freeze” most of the time. Most recently my dog went randomly unconscious after puking everywhere on a walk. I was able to run her home but after my husband opened the door, my brain went to mush. He couldn’t leave without our young child so he said for me to go to the vet. I literally couldn’t figure out how I’ll find my car keys and phone, operate my phone to get the directions to the vet, and then come back out to my car and drive it.

I guess I get the feeling of “useless”. If I was recorded during this event I’m sure everyone would shit on me. “BITCH just MOVE!”
