If you find your self in a immediate fight or flight situation, you have already failed your ability to read the environment you are in, and will probably be cought of guard no matter what. You wont have time to asses your situation and the immediate dangers surrounding you.
The only way to be prepared for a fight or flight situation is if you are able to evaluate the location and the people at the location before you enter. And act according to pre planed measures.
One should always pre-plan a flight rout as priority number 1. And option two is to not enter the arena/location if priority number 1 seams difficult.
If you want to enter a building for instance, prepare a plan on how you want to move inside. Keep in mind that you must have control over a 360 degree radius at all times. Your main priority inside is to try and reduce the 360 degree radius to at least 180 degrees. You can do that by sticking to the walls for instance, with practice you can learn how to use the awareness of other people as safety.
Learn how to turn quickly with just moving one foot at a time. SWAT teams and SF know how this is done properly, try and see how they move their feet. "I can make some illustration to demonstrate how its done".
How to be aware and move properly is easy to practice in public and at home. At home you can teach your self how to enter through a door properly and how to move inside a room. You can also use the public to learn how to read peoples intentions and behaviour. The sooner you start the more aware you will become.
Implement this into your daily routine and being aware becomes natural.

Well, ya have to think of your tight space as being the immediate body area. It takes practice...but you must realize, as a realist, it doesn't always work.
That is something I always taught as well. I always taught my troops that they may die, they may not get the upper hand.
It's a fact of life. But fear is a great motivator.

It brings to mind of that line in the "The Big Red One"
"Did I kill the guy that killed me?"
If someone kills me, I hope I have killed him as well.
At 115 beats per minute (bpm) most people will lose fine complex motor skills such as finger dexterity, eye/hand co-ordination, multi-tasking becomes difficult
At 145 bpm, most people will lose complex motor skills (3 or more motor skills designed to work in unison)
At 185-220 bpm, most people will go into a state of "hypervigilance," also commonly known as the "deer in the headlights" or "brain fart mode." It is not uncommon for a person to continue doing things that are not effective (known as a feedback loop) or to show irrational behavior such as leaving cover. This is also the state in which people find themselves in when they describe that they can not move, yell, or scream.
One wants to breath in through their nose for a three count, hold for a two count, and then breath out through the mouth for a three count. Studies have found that if a person was to do this for a 3-cycle count, it decreases one’s heart rate up to 30% for up to 40 seconds. Again remember that heart rate is directly related to SSR. If a person’s heart rate was sitting at around 175-220 bpm, autogenic breathing would help bring them back down into that target range of 115-145 bpm.
Experience increases and builds confidence - reduces "newness" of stimulus
