Survival instinct

Survival instinct is the natural, automatic response that helps individuals recognize threats and react quickly to protect themselves. It activates various psychological and physical processes, such as heightened senses, adrenaline release, and rapid decision-making, enabling a person to escape danger or avoid harm. This instinct is an evolutionary trait that has developed over time to increase the chances of survival in threatening situations. While it operates instinctively, it can sometimes lead to quick, impulsive actions aimed at self-preservation without conscious thought.
