How do you typically respond to a threat? (fight, flight, freeze, flop, friend)

I know the prompt is asking for a “typical response” style, but honestly it really depends on the type of threat and situation.

My typical response might actually be trying to de-escalate the situation so everyone can go on their way. Otherwise, I might be walking away from the situation unless the threat isn’t directed at me, then I observe until there may be a need for me to jump in and de-escalate.

I’m much more inclined toward peace than fighting.
