Startled is a terrible state to find oneself in. It signals the break from expectation and normalcy. It indicates to an individual that something outside their day to day rigamarole can occur and it shocks them.
I am continually startled by the things I see people doing in the streets and in public places. Like fathers ignoring their crying children. Like men watching a large woman playing arcade games like a group of vultures or jackals. And it’s interesting to me why I’m startled by it. It causes me to reflect on my day and the actions I take each day and why these people differ from me so much.
alex
Ia m so startled. there are giant guinea pigs roaming the earth layin down destruction on man kind. what wrath have we incurred to deserve this fate so dark and putrid? I am so startled. These guinea pigs shall bring naught but death and destruction to us all

Once a woman with a grocery bag full of canned soup jumped up at me from behind. Startled, I dropped to the floor and punched her in the shins. She fell back and dropped her bag. The cans fell out and some burst as they hit the floor.
Eddie
i was startled when i walked in to the room and saw my brother playing a video game. he was there with 10 friends all in our tiny appartment. it reminded me of atime when i was young and was startled
kristel
I was startled to see you again
I was surprised to hear your name
I was confused about where we go now
The last time we met things were unresolved
The last time we met it all just ended, but
The last time we met I was head over heels
Is it a bad thing that my feelings stirred?
Is it a problem if I feel this way?
Is it possible to move past this again?
Could there be some reason for this?
Could this be part of a greater plan?
Could you possibly teach me something new?
I am only probing for answers…
I don’t expect anything…but
I was startled by you and I don’t know what to do…

Samantha
i walked into a room. i took in the smell of rose oil and gardenias. i opened my eyes wide, and took in a deep breath. at that moment someone put their arms around me, and i jumped from being so startled.
Molly Kresl
I walked into the room and there they were. I wished I had called my roommate before heading to bed, because now i was never getting to sleep. There was no need to see his stringy body on top of her plump one, sinking in and out.
amie
i was startled when i saw the two standing there, on my front porch. I told them to come in, but they refused. They had something to tell me, and the fear of what they had to say was overwehlming. No, i thought, i would not let those men come in and tell me what i expected them to. The red car that they came in was my worst fear to see, and my worst nightmare was now coming true.
Brooke
She was startled to find him sitting in her living room. How the hell did he get in her? and why was he here? Do you mind not stalking me she askesd. YOu’re getting on my nerves. He smiled a slow deliberate smile. Pleased with himself.
Kristy B
I was startled as the green bird landed on my head. So startled, in fact, that I didn’t have time to think about WHY it was there.
I found out later.
Ian Malcolm
A basket case of of rocks, seashells and the dust the with which they paint the 80’s carpet…..I found the matchbox cars and raced them around the grooves in the carpet….
Nick
It was brilliant sunlight, and it was dusty, firm belief that everything was alright. It was the pack of kids like sardines in grandma’s bed, it was her in a college football t-shirt…It was the cold but warm skin.
Nick
shocked, frightened, laugh at self. Horror Movies Girls, Rattled. Babies.

startled. means to be surprised. startling can have a positive and negative meaning such as startling some one by scaring them or cheating on them and a dumb person getting a good grade, etc.
janet
Startled is when you go somewhere and you expect something but you dont really see it. Its like when you walk down a path on your way home from school and then all of a sudden you get attacked by a bear and you die. But its not really that serious. It all depends on your situation and environment. I dont let getting startled becasue it makes me uncomfortable. id rather know wats coming so i wont be startled.
howard
I am startled at this web page. I don’t know what that word really means
I think it means something about like scared and stuff….I don’t really wanna do this anymore, because it reminds me of high school, and I miss it sooooooo much. I am in my first semester of college and it is having a startling effect on my body. The weird thing is…I can’t do anything to change it.
Stephen
I was shocked, unready for this. What’s going on? Jumped out of fear, screamed, gasped, ran, quaked. “Hold me!” What’s this? A ball? A car? A toy? A stranger? oh. And that was all?
Ivy
AGAIN WITH THE STARTLED!
I already got this one you prick, this is unfair and it seems that the timer is moving faster this time.

bastards..
Rowan
this one startled me, first time using this site.
damn.
I get startled easily, I jump out of my skin.
I like startling other people though, telling them things that make them suddenly question their reality.
are we just copies of copies?
fuck you, I want a differant word.
ROwan
Francine was startled to learn of the loss of her sister. She had not seen trish in many years ,but always assumed that she was well and happy and enjoying life with her ex-husband. The type of death she experienced however was one of the most absurd she had heard in days
john

i don’t have anything to say.
sarah

rip
I felt startled when I saw a that guy in the corner. He stared with acid eyes off in the distance, and slouched. I never liked that guy
Jeff Hall
my eyes open

my eyes open
i almost don’t believe
ky
At the cinema tonight, and your hand had somehow nestled into mine, you on my right and I on your left and it was lovely in that ‘I missed you, and almost forgot you’ sort of way. There was quiet music and something happened, and we both jumped, maybe you instigated it, maybe I did. But it happened, and I’m glad that it was with you, because, well because I’m glad you’re home. I’m glad you didn’t run away.
Aisling
she was startled as she walked in to her decreped old home to find a man, standing waiting. it wasnt her father. it wasnt her uncle. it was a man she didnt know. a she let out a piercing shrill but the man quickly impared her speech by stickng somthing un identifyable in her mouth.
pablo
i couldn’t believe it was you.
the last time i saw you was two years prior, and you were a wreck — tense, nervous, your jaw tightened irrepressibly at my approach.
this time you were still a shambles, but in a sad echo of your former self — a nervous, twitching shadow. pale and morose, i didn’t know what to say.
so i said hi. asked how you were. told you to stay out of trouble.
i don’t miss you at all.
james
She felt startled when he jumped out of the bush, she then smiled and ran into his arms. He got down on one knee and proposed to her with a smile upon his lips. As tears ran from her eyes all she could get out was a trembling “yes”
Charlotte Bunker
I am sitting at my desk drinking a glass of water. It is an ordinary day, and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I have spent the entire day in front of my computer, typing away, reading books, eating food, drinking water, watching television. It has been another lazy Sunday.
Until…
“BOO!” my cousin Charles screams as he crashes into my opened window, the screen making imprints on his cheek.
My water flies up, up into the air, and then splashes on the floor.
Charles and I grin as I say, “I hate you,” and go to the front door to let him in.

The boy looked around, his eyes dazzled, those misty blues screened over with the fear. Tears fell as he stared at her, his body trembling. The adrenaline pulsed through him, nothing coming to his dry lips. Everything was nothing. And nothing was everything. But it wasn’t enough. Startled. And dumbfounded. He was wrong and there was nothing that he could do to change it.

I was scared to death when the door opened suddenly and I was standing there nude. Why me I thought, can someone tell me this?

Larry Gossar
He didn’t spill his coffee. He didn’t stutter. Instead he sat cooly in his chair, feeling the solid metal pushing firm curves into his back. He expected it, so it didn’t surprise him. What surprised him was his very calmness. The calmness that hit him when she stood up, saying “I know.”
Emily
I was startled awake from a dream and I don’t know or remember what it was about I remember noise and color and was there blood all I know was I reached for someone’s hand and I awoke to sunlight streaming in my window I think I landed in bed and I’m not sure was it real or was it all a dream I can’t remember and all I can do is not cry.
