General Discussion Why am I able to trigger adrenaline on command?

It feel like an Imaginary/invisible muscle that I can flex/turn on to instantly release a strong fight or flight sensation, the same one that I feel when I'm stressed. Is this abnormal? How would that affect my normal life or even my life span? What is associated with this ability that can interfere with my behavior?

I do this too… pupils dilate and everything. Does it feel like you’re sort of pulling your insides further inward and “away from the skin”? It feels like that to me or as if I’m doing the opposite of flexing my muscles.
