Nah cause when I got in a car accident, I held it together long enough to call my mom (I was 3 hours away and coming home from school on a highway) and after I told her the adrenaline wore off and I started sobbing. Because 1. My face slammed into my steering wheel at 60mph (no airbag) 2. My body slammed into the side panel of my car so hard it broke it into small pieces resulting in bruised ribs and 3. Coming off of that much adrenaline often comes with tears because that’s how the body reacts

I cried in my first accident because I nearly died (husband and I were hit at 60mph and spun a fuck ton before hitting a thick pole) and got shit for it. We literally weren’t supposed to walk out of that with the minimal injuries we had. I’m allowed to cry. I’ll still cry about it sometimes because it traumatized me so badly

Probably because you weren’t in it and thus in no real danger?? 😭 And if they came to tell you instead of fleeing, that sounds like a responsible driver who made a mistake. Any reasonable person would just take down their insurance info and go about their day, no reason to be angry. I’m sorry if I’m misunderstanding something I’m just so confused why you think it’s strange that you were calm in this situation, because that sounds like a perfectly normal reaction.

you can preach all day. it’s a subjective topic so I can say the same in reverse. most people are able to regulate emotions, especially after long periods of time like 30 seconds, so given the number of videos with people screaming for that long, we can assume most people are being over exaggerative. get some screams out and then let people who aren’t panicking focus so that the situation doesn’t worsen.

I could be wrong, but I *think* OP might be talking about men who comment on videos where women are sharing the aftermath of a car accident. Specifically, the type of guys who say things like, “Wow, props for not crying like all those other women.” Which is awful - because they’re both putting down an entire gender to lift one woman up and shaming anyone who cries after going through a violent accident. Which is a super valid and normal thing for anyone to do, which makes it more weird. 😭

How? Rear endings account for nearly 8% of all fatal car crashes while head on collisions around 10% and sideswipes at only 3%. So how did you get them not being as bad as 99% of crashes? Tell that to the 2000 people who die every year to being rear ended.

I wouldn’t crash out over it at them, no?? 😭Like, yeah it would suck to have your car damaged but if they came to you of their own accord like you said, and you weren’t in the car, and thus not hurt, I’d say that’s the best possible scenario for a car wreck.

I get that completely, I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t understand treating staying calm in that scenario as an unusual reaction. If someone came to me of their own accord to admit their mistake and make things right, I would want to stay calm to get things settled with insurance and everything, rather than crashing out at them and potentially missing the opportunity to get that info in favor of an argument no matter how upset I may be.

But that’s just my perspective as someone who experienced the opposite in that scenario: someone not stepping forward and owning up to their mistake and costing me thousands in the end.
