What causes people to 'blank out'?

Well from my intellectual research (using google) I found out that building anxiety(getting nervous) and or being stressed out causes people to blank out. The result is fainting (also known as blacking out.) Fainting, "blacking out," or syncope is the temporary loss of consciousness followed by the return to full wakefulness. (basically you go unconcious and then you wake up again)

When you get nervous or stressed your brain can't handle the pressure and it temporarily freezes up. This cause your body to shut down and you faint(blank out)

:( I found out most of this information from this site :(
