Freezing is a survival instinct. Your subconscious was just trying to calculate the odds and figure out what to do to keep yourself safe. Don't beat yourself up about it. You spoke up when you had the power to change something and prevented a young girl from being harmed, regardless of her father appearing to be an idiot. You should be proud of yourself, and kind to yourself too. Freezing is a totally normal thing. We're programmed not to make a scene, right? Your brain was trying to figure out how this would play out and if drawing attention to the situation would make things better or worse for you. I'm sorry that this happened to you. [/quote]

This, a billion times over. Freezing is such an automatic response, and everyone always says, “if it were me, I’d NEVER react that way,” so we shame ourselves for it. But your body reacted—biologically, freezing makes sense against many threats, and when one’s efforts to speak are ignored, it encourages the frozen terror.

I’m sorry that happened to you and glad that you were able to speak up to stop that girl from being terrified in the same way.[/quote]
