Stress is generally considered as being synonymous with distress and dictionaries defined it as “physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension”. This is different for everyone. What stresses you out may not even bother your best friend and vice versa.
Sometimes you can feel stressed for a short period of time. Usually, it’s nothing to worry about. Like when you need to hand in a project, or you have to talk in front of a group of people.
However, negative feelings can be very stressful. Maybe you’re worried, angry, scared, or frustrated. This condition isn’t good for you, and over the long-term can cause serious problems.
Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience it from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too. However, a person who is undergoing stress will likely see its symptoms, and mind you being tired and unwilling to work isn’t just the only symptom.
