Scared me for a second
So I heard someone say "You scared me for a second there." While watching some other guy play a video game.
Does it actually mean the person got scared that he was going to lose for a second, or just a phrase to say that the person got scared that he was going to lose for a small bit of time?

" This literally means, you were startled momentarily. Let's pretend that you were working late and you had to walk alone to the parking garage to get to your car. On the way, a homeless man jumped out of the corner asking for change.
