Your tolerance to stress

Geeky Gothic Guy

Just curious as to whether other peoples tolerances to stress have improved as they’ve gotten older, or got worse. I feel mines got worse. I’m also a lot less tolerant with things. Simple things seem to stress me out more than when I was younger. What’s everyone’s else’s experience with stress tolerance?

  • I think it's difficult to answer your question objectively  

    Previous respondents have covered a lot of things and maybe I'm just easily led bit I've agreed with most of them!   Circumstances change somewhat as one grows older. 

    Events accumulate also.  Bad experiences can feed negativity bias and then things can all snowball.

    Does a fish realise that it is swimming in water?

    Strategies for managing stress can counterbalance or indeed if they are unhealthy ones confound.

    If they are worse for you have circumstances for you changed?

    I think personally (especially after accumulated burnouts and meltdowns and recognising it's problematic more I have become a little more attuned to watching out for it and noticing it - this can give the impression of being more stressed but really I probably am better at acknowledging it.

    Maybe acknowledging it is a start of being able to do something about it.

    At least i bl00dy well hope so!
