Do you get stressed easy?

Yes. Everyone I know says that one of my best qualities is my patience. But what you describe happens to me all the time (usually in private) - I think that my "patience" is implied because in public I usually present a calm appearance even though inside I don't feel like that at all. Putting on that mask is exhausting and then the tiny/not very important thing that doesn't go quite right sends me over the edge...

I can suffer fools gladly, but if I have to do something that's really hard or with an unreasonable deadline, I get stressed very, very, very easily.

Yes ... I panic easily. I have to disengage myself from whatever is causing it and calm down before I can deal with it effectively.

I get stressed easily, though I can hide it pretty well. If it's been a long time since I've eaten, approach me at your own risk! Lol

All the time but I usually hold my feelings in and let it out when I get to a secluded place. If its really bad I tend to have a meltdown that is when life really sucks.

I get stressed easily. I practically stress over everything. I remember about 2 years ago I was on a 3-week course and it was arranged that we were to start at 10 o'clock, which was easier for me because I get my buspass free when getting the bus after 9 o'clock, and I was happy with staying a bit later because it was at the airport so waiting for the bus when it was getting dark wasn't a problem for me, being so there was a lot of security at the airport (very few anti-social behaviour goes on at the airport like it, unlike the city). But after all agreeing to stick to these hours, they suddenly changed the times and so we all had to come in by 9 o'clock, and I got so stressed out that I started texting my mum in a panic explaining the situation. I soon got used to the idea of coming in earlier. It wasn't that bad.

And I always get stressed when I'm going to miss my bus by a fraction of a second, and I then have a whole hour to wait around for the next one, and I don't like being on my own in public for too long and looking round shops bores me rigid after a while, and people start agitating me when they keep looking at me and getting in my way, so I start stressing about that.

All I do is stress. Sometimes I think I could get away with telling everyone that I just had a ''Stress Disorder'', and that'd clear me completely (being that I can hide the AS itself so easily).

I go into a meltdown when a cognitively challenged NT tries to act intelligent and then continues to defend a stupid idea.

sae here like when a pseudo intellectual NT thinks a turtle is an amphibian and keeps telling you it is and you tell him no your wrong it is a reptile but they argue and keep telling you it is an amphibian when it isnt.

Ya I do get stressed easily. It usually depends on what's going on with how sensitive my stress is.

For the most part, it is true. I have a low frustration threshold, and get stressed easily. It depends, though. The more important something is to me, the greater the intensity is the stress and frustration if things go wrong for me.

Yes, I get stressed very easily. Driving can stress me as non-caring drivers pull out in front of me and drive left of center while not paying attention to the roads. The telephone can stress as it rings after I have just set down to relax. The Schwan's man stresses as he pulls his food-vending truck into my driveway every other week in order to try to sell me expensive foods---I have quit answering the door. The yard constantly needing mowed in the warm months has stressed me to the point that I hire it done---and I get stressed by having to interact with the lawn mowing guy because he wants to chit chat after I hand him his check. My job is stressing me as almost any line of work has done. My wife needing the television left on in our bedroom until she is in deep sleep stresses me because as I try to relax in bed with my computer, I have to listen to shows I don't want to listen to.

But through it all, I try to maintain a positive outlook on life. I have a job, I have a family, and I have a life. I am thankful for that. But I definitely need to relax. Relaxing in life can be difficult for me. I have felt very comfortable in my church where I play the organ, but I have just learned we will be undergoing a minister change soon. Aghhh...another minister change...more stress.

I'm usually patient but I get stressed easily. I'm better at handling stress then I used to be, though I'm a lot more stressed if I'm hungry or tired.

Yep, but the Lexapro and Valium help a lot

Though my family wouldn't understand it (at least I don't think), I could use a week long camping away on my own. I would like to have alone time in order to work on my writings---and relaxation this summer---stress free.
