Someone startles you. Your reaction?

Depends.

 

~ Sudden loud music or something: Jump. Yeah that's pretty much it!

 

~ Jumpscare in a horror game/video: Freakin' jump up, while my head flies back, whisper out "OOOH SHhhh-", throw my headphones off of my, well, head, and then laugh for a few seconds. xD

 

I love jumpscares. I don't know why. :P

 

EDIT: Oh, "Someone startles you" ... well, I direct you to the 'Sudden loud music' reaction. :lol:

I usually jump, get pissed for a split second, then lol a little bit.

A few times when I was already on edge, I hit the person who startled me, then panicked and made sure they were okay.

freeze, identify whether the thing is a threat. if so, commence battering said thing. if not, open eyes slightly wider and react properly. If said thing is a sibling, make them think they failed at startling me, then proceed to startle them

"OMG ARE YOU OKAY?!" lol I hope if I ever meet you, I don't ever startle you when you're on edge :P

 

"What the heck! What was the point of doing that?"

There is never really a point to startling someone, is there? Hmm...

Expect to get on my bad side; you will also get ranted at if we have about the same authority or if I believe I need to defend myself and my beliefs. It is rather annoying.

I jump a little, curl a fist and say something alone the lines of "what the buck man?!"

It's more of a reflex. I've Accidentally punched someone cause they scared me in my sleep.

Generally something along the lines of this.

To be honest, I don't jump scare. Or i don't have the proper response, which would be to jump, run or scream. I usually don't get startled because by the time i'm about to react, too much time has already passed and i've already realized the scary thing is not a threat.

Its probably not a good thing, because when i am ever actually genuinely scared by something, i freeze like a deer in headlights and my heart drops the bass.

 

So if someone were to try and startle me right now, i'd probably not react and just give them a funny look.

I spin around and go into a defensive position... and feel really silly afterwards.

If it's not a person but a loud sound from the computer, I lunge for the mute button, reduce volume to about 5% and scan forward cautiously for future screamers.

Well psychologically, human's natural response to getting fear usually include:

Jumping, backing away, eyes wide open, moth open, gasping for air, hands put in front of body.

 

That's what is most commonly seen between all humans when scared. Me on the other hand has problems, and usually hit the thing that scared me. So if you popped out in front of me and went "Blah!!" I'd probably strike you with my finger nail which I carved to a point for self defence. I'm not so sure as the fact that I hit stuff is as abnormal as the fact that I make my fingernails sharp for attack:/
