Flee

The Flee response is a natural, automatic reaction to a perceived threat, where an individual quickly attempts to escape or avoid danger. It’s part of the body's fight-or-flight mechanism, designed to protect by mobilizing energy to either confront or run away from a threat. When someone "flee's," they experience a surge of adrenaline, leading to increased heart rate, faster breathing, and a desire to distance themselves from the situation. This response helps increase the chances of safety by encouraging avoidance of harm.
