How do I train my temperance and decision making skills under stress?
Today I bumped a car, a passive aggresive asshole looking for a fight went out and for some reason I came out too and tried to reason with the guy. He ended up bullying me over being unable to stop shaking, and he didn't try to reason, I tried to fill awkward silence and ended up giving him 10 bucks to fuck off, he wasn't grateful or defused, I just got taken advantage of. The same thing happened working as a doctor, I resigned because I couldn't remember well the procedures when someone was dying. Same thing happens when talking to women and happened once I was getting interrogated by gangs.
What can I do to recognize my options when I'm dulled by adrenaline? What can I do to not get pulled into the mind game of feeling guilty or responsible? How can I start not giving a shit about people instead of offering unrequested help or solutions?
And specially, how do I safely get into situations I can trigger the shaking paralisis response so I practice on it? Note if I do something obviously dangerous I resign myself to dying, I only get the response if I'm losing something permanent or harm in bad faith is potential but uncertain
