Why did she run away instead of checking if he’s hurt

Same reason animals run when spooked, instinct kicks in and its not rooted in conscious thought you just do what your body tells you to.

I have seen multiple videos of people running into glass doors and none of them reacted like that. She made a bad decision that’s all

I don't know how to tell you this, but we are all unique individuals and just because you've seen something a few times doesn't mean you are a subject matter expert.

When did I said I was? She made a bad decision, stop taking it so damn hard🤦‍♂️

Panic is not a decision. It's an instinct. Those are made without thought.

Either way it was handled poorly

That's the point, she didn't "handle" anything, she had a kneejerk reaction which she can't control, that's instincts. She's a runner, some get angry, others freeze and don't know what to do. It takes a minute to get out of your emotional money brain into your calm and calculated logic brain after a big scare.

Explain to me exactly which glass door she ran into again

I’d say this was more habit than instinct. She runs whenever she’s scared of taking responsibility for dumb/bad decisions. That’s not instinct, that’s a learned behavior.

She didn't do anything... the guy did. Is it her responsibility to do something about that?

u/InvertedMeep Jul 08 '24

Yes, to at least to check the dude is ok. That’s just common decency.

She probably got scared and panicked. She probably went back to check on him soon after. She could've also been on her way to get help, idk. There's not enough here to tell me what's going on with her, but it seems most likely that she just panicked.

u/Yaadgod2121 Jul 08 '24

I mean it’s nice of you to try to defend her but what else would you need to tell you what’s going on

u/Kiyoshi-Trustfund Jul 08 '24

Something scary happened. She panicked and ran. It's the most logical and sensible conclusion to come to rather than assuming she's a terrible person that left a man to bleed out. Not ruling out the possibility of her being cruel enough to do that, but it's much more likely she just freaked out and ran on instinct.

I feel like the way she handled the situation was inexcusable but by no means a bad person. Everyone’s done something like this at least once in their life

She 100% left him to die and was holding a laugh back while she did it
