Fight, flight, freeze, fawn. Your brain chooses freeze.

I don't know if practice (being yelled at?) would help or entering situations knowing you'll be yelled at or what.

Silly question: does freezing cause you problems? I could see it defusing the hypothetical situation a bit, I could also see it making the situation worse.

I got a lot of practice being yelled at by a boss and managed to stay logical. Has served me well
