Do you fight or flight?

The fight or flight response is a person's response when put under pressure or stress much like a situation where we feel threatened. You either stand there and fight i.e. an argument, physical argument or a complete free-for-all of both. Fight is also described as the "red mist". Flight is the response when you run away, or do not want to get involved and back down straight away.
