Re: Can you be too laid back?

[herpymcderp]

Yes. Definitively, yes. Psychological studies have borne this out for years. Fear is a healthy process, so long as it's the right amount of fear. Too much or too little is generally a detrimental state to be in.

Fear is what our ancestors relied on to go, "Oh fuck, that's a bear, I should GTFO at my soonest possible convenience." Usually these days we just use it to motivate us to do well on tests (fun fact: test nerves are actually beneficial! Getting pre test jitters makes for better recall since the area responsible for the fear response - the amygdala - is so very tightly linked to the area responsible for short term memory storage and activation - the hippocampus).

To use a pertinent example, not enough of a decisive reaction to a life threatening situation means you're way more likely to be the person in the tsunami video going out to gape at the "really low tide" and then not running away fast enough to escape drowning.
