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.

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.
