That’s a Surprise and shock are both forms of fear with cognition. When we are surprised by an event it means we are not ready for it. As our neural-construct operates by association, if we are not in the ‘the zone’ then if something happens we will be surprised even if we actually know what to do. The reason for this is because our consciousness is looking in the wrong area of our neural-network and the ‘answers’ or ‘behaviours’ are not close by, so the initial reaction of the mind is to be scared, however the mind rapidly moves focus form the area we were in to the area we need to be in, and suddenly our answers/behaivour is clear. So the fear is no longer required. “You scared me’ or “you surprised me” are actually the same thing.
