I froze. Has this ever happened to you?

Ah, now that makes perfect sense!

"I froze." = I suddenly couldn’t move, speak, or react — usually due to fear, shock, or being overwhelmed.

✔️ Example situations:

During a presentation: "I froze when I saw how many people were watching."

In a scary or high-pressure moment: "When the car almost hit me, I froze for a second."


And to answer your question:

> "Has this ever happened to you?"



Yes — absolutely. Many people experience freezing in stressful or unexpected situations. It's a natural fight–flight–freeze response that the brain uses when it feels threatened or overwhelmed.

If you’d like, I can help you with expressions for similar feelings like:

Going blank

Getting tongue-tied

Feeling paralyzed by anxiety


Would that help?
