This study might be true and
results accurate, as fear is a survival instinct in both humans and animals. And im sure there are alot of chemical
chain reactions taking place when that emotion arises. But I know one thing for sure, when you fear in a social
setting, other people can sense it. I dont know whether it is in subtle body language or scent but it can be sensed,
especially by women, they have an intuition that we men often lack. But I believe it can be sensed in body language
above all else. Think back to the Bill Clinton fiasco and his famous speech. We didnt need to be in the same room to
know that he was in a state of fear.
Also, I have had some basic knowledge on this, gained through my
military training, and it takes about 8-10 seconds when fear sets in to lose control of your senses and judgement.
Although fear is good thing initially, the amount of adreneline produced after the first 10 sec means that your are
not so cognitive aware.
Soldiers in battle often do not feel pain even after being shot or wounded, because
of fear and because adreneline acts as a pain killer.
