When people pretend to punch you or something and you flinch

"Haha you flinched you pussy"

Then they pinch or punch you or whatever

Or like in movies when the main character gets shot at or an explosion happens and they don't flinch because it looks cool

It pisses me off more than it should :[

Like what the fuck bro
You're laughing at me because I instinctively respond to a potential threat?

That's Macho man culture for you. Or expressely, teenager-istic views on the world.

God forbid you ever meet an adult that does shit like that.

If you do, honestly, just beat the shit out of them however or with whatever you can. Then if they cry about it simply explain that "pussies" don't sit idely by in the face of a potential threat.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
They must have shitty reflexes if they don't flinch.

If you flinch it means you have some sort of basic survival instinct.

To put it in Psy's terms.

It means you're not a catfish.

Everyone in school thought I was a girl (as a joke obviously) Because I never flinched when they went to hit me in the nuts.

"He never flinches!"
"Dude, you must be a chick!"
"what the hell"


I didn't flinch because I knew they wouldn't actually do it to me.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Are you around 10 year olds or what?

I only ever flinched once because I kicked my friend in the nuts for real after he tried that.

100% srs

I used to flinch a lot before I had gotten into fights. Now I don't flinch at all. It leaves you really open, and I know I can take a hit or block/dodge.

Taking it a step further, if I'm flinching in a way that wouldn't benefit me (closing my eyes, etc.) in a dangerous situation I try to change that reflex.
