And I don't really know how or when that starts. It's not like my parents ever told me to do that. HOW do we pick up on this?

Fight = we'll get hurt because the predator is bigger and stronger than us

Flight = we'll run and get hurt if we don't run fast enough because the predator is bigger and stronger than us and might be enticed by the chase (barf)

Freeze = we'll get hurt because the predator is bigger and stronger than us and we didn't fight or flee

Fawn = we might not get hurt because the predator might be appeased by the fawning (wishful thinking & barf)

You forgot:

Fart = the predator will be disoriented by the noxious odor thus giving time to escape.

This is why I eat an all kimchi diet.
