I often have the problem that I flinch when someone pretends that the person wants to hit me. Even if the person tells me they'll never hit me, I still flinch. The same thing happens when people argue loudly or when something is generally loud. I honestly don't know why I flinch, but it just happens again and again. How would you react if someone flinched?
(Picture is not mine)
How would you react if a friend of yours or your Girlfriend/boyfriend flinched?
Nothing wrong with it, it’s just fight or flight kicking in.
that and pretending to hit someone is a bit shit, as they never know a persons background, such as abusive parents, boyfriend, husband etc.
don’t sweat it, we all do similar at times and I’ve worked with guys and girls that have done a number of tours in Afghan, Iraq and they flinch at things.
Hey, it's okay. I flinch too, not to get hit in the face by some idiot. And get some damage. Etc.
Then right after that i punch them in the face instead.
It matters what you do after the initial event. Learn to fight, and just hit or kick them back. It's provocation and a promise that it won't stop, unless you stop it now.
I would be fine with it as the flinching is most likely due to childhood abuse so it’s a natural response, they’ll most likely stop flinching once they warm up to me and know I won’t harm them. I tend to flinch because of stuff that happened in my childhood so I understand. And same goes for people who aren’t into hugs, most of the time it’s because of trauma.
Er, sorry what is somone around you pretend ING to hit you and making you flinch That's like an animal kingdom dominance move. It was animals do to remind others of their place. You need to avoid this person.
