Selective brave hmm ok then yup I’m no coward ,but I’m not bloody stupid either lol ie I wouldn’t do a bungee jump but I’d happily do a sky dive ,or go up in a hot air balloon (n I suffer with vertigo n hate heights but I’d still love to do both )
The Slow Reactor You are calm almost to a fault, taking your sweet time before jumping into the fray. The upside is level-headed decisions; the downside is missing the bus – sometimes literally. People appreciate your steady presence when chaos reigns. Once you finally commit, you stick the landing. It simply takes a bit of stretching first.
"The Selective Brave - Courage flips on like a porch light whenever the cause truly matters to you. Bungee jump? Maybe not. Defend a friend? Absolutely. Your bravery is budgeted like fine coffee – saved for premium moments. This approach keeps adrenaline costs down while still earning you hero points in key scenes. It’s strategic valor at its finest." Yeah, that's... pretty accurate XD I freaking HATE roller coasters and any adrenaline-based activities, but I would (and have done so in the past) fight anyone or anything who tried to hurt my loved ones or my pets. I'm pretty non-confrontational when I'm yelled at (yay ábusive childhood) and I tend to grayrock/shut down, but I will stop ábuse/step in/confront a person if I see them ábusing/harassing someone else. I guess I'm 50% coward, 50% brave XD
