We Are Panicking as a Unit
What it does
Mutual reassurance through proximity, with no measurable reduction in actual panic.
Use it when
- Two people face the same threat.
- Shared fear is preferable to separate fear.
- The group has synchronized physically, not emotionally.
For example
- The debate partners wait outside the final round together.
- Two travelers watch their gate disappear from the board.
- The roommates hear scratching inside the closed wall.
