Can you something?

Yes, hypothetically you can shove anything. However, the results of said shoving will vary based on what is being shoved. For example, if I shove a flat screen TV, for whatever reason (perhaps the Futurama Marathon just ended), it would submissively fall and probably break! However, if I were to shove a building, such as my house, nothing would really happen. Unless the house was victim to serious structural flaw.

What do animals do when in danger?

Most try to flee from the danger but some will send warning signs not to get any closer like the distinctive rattling a rattle snake makes with it's tail when threatened. Others will posture, growl, bare their teeth and show other defensive behaviors in an attempt to deter the danger. Still others will act submissively, if the danger is posed by a member of their own species, or some, like the opossum, will play dead in order to deter the threat.

Why would a boy break up with you because you're too sweet?

While there is nothing wrong with being "sweet" (cheerful, good-natured, or accommodating), some boys, average boys, could have difficulty dealing with a girl who is always nice to everyone, and helpful, and never mean, rude, or nasty.In one case, the extroverted boy is concerned (too concerned) with his public image, with being around someone who is always better-liked, more popular, or more agreeable. This can highlight any flaws of his in these areas.In another case, the introverted boy is concerned with your emotional well-being and his own. He would worry that you would never try to have your own way, or argue, or contradict his ideas. This could result in your becoming submissively miserable, or make him feel guilty for dominating you, even unintentionally.Neither of these scenarios could be correct, but they are subjects for thought in relationships that include girls who may present as overly nice, sweet, or perfect.
