Thread: Is this normal?

Hmmmm ... I think it is normal ... because I do the same! If a leaf flies at my face and hits me I jump. I can't even watch a semi-scary movie anymore without crying. Shoulda seen me the other day - punching in the code for the garage, I flipped open the cover and this gross black hairy spider leaped off the cover and zipped down the sleeve of my jacket *screams, hollers, slaps arm about and rips off jacket* I don't usually care about spiders, but when they face streak me or jump on me ... massive heart attack!

So I think it's normal ... just the way we respond to things. I also jump when someone is on the other side of a door I'm going through and don't expect it. Maybe we are too apprehensive, but I'm not overly worried about it.
