A Physical sign that you're under stress.....

[MC Moot]

Do you have a unconscious physical trait or habit you display when under stress,discomfort or extreme pressure?....a colleague pointed out this morning that I begin to whistle, sing or hum the song that goes “ohhhh baby,baby it’s a wild life…..”….I don’t like that song nor do I know who sings it (???)….upon being made aware of this I realize it’s true…..bizarre….

If I'm with someone and something bad happens, I crack jokes. Try to lighten to mood a bit...sometimes it works, and other times (like when I was watching Passion Of The Christ with a few sobbing friends) it's way inappropriate.

I pride myself on living a very stress free life.

I have no stress at work, as my job is just a job, a way to make money, and not a career. I work hard, and do a good job, but if I were to get fired tomorrow, I'd be OK with it, because I'd just get another job.

I have few stresses at home, my wife and I make enough to live comfortably, get along very well with each other and our families, and for the most part go through our days with little to no stress.

I always felt that people make themselves out to be a lot more important than they actually are, or try to act more important than they actually are, and that's where most stress comes from.

I know I don't mean much to many people, so I don't stress myself out trying to "do my best". And for the people that consider me an important part of their life, I need to impress them even less, because I know they'll be by my side regardless.

Nope,not in my case....a kid with FASD pissed in my drawer this morning,that's cause and reaction....I wish I could be as disassociated with my environment and professional aptitude as you seem to be.... ...but I do this work to relieve the sense of apathy I would be overwhelmed with if I pursued a life of comfort….or career complacency...I'd be stressed that I wasn't doing something I'm very capable of by contributing to the community in the manner I do....Laissez-faire that's the way to be, it’s likely much easier on your constitution.....

Stress...

I drink a lot.

Always stressed. Especially lately. .. Can't say more.. My ex is stalking me, and I'm working on something new. (and that pisses her off) I'm not here for trouble. I'm here for long term friendship.

[abbott]

i pried myself on not giving a fuck and living stress free... but shit stress can get to me...

When I have stress, it effects my sex life ... I can make it all happen but never climax when under real stress... I have experienced this 2 times in the past 9 years..

[Lex Diamonds]

Lol I used to be such a pussy.

Now I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions (I'm used to living Big Dog style and straight coasting).

[fonky pizza]

I get very agressive
