Causes of stress
If you suffer from stress and feel like no one understands you, know that this is perfectly normal. The reason for that lies in the fact that there are many different kinds of causes of stress that are unique and associated with your current life's situation. What is stressful to you may not be for others, so they may not understand what you are going through.
What causes stress also depends on your personality and the way you react to specific life situations or major life changes. For example, maybe riding on the train every day to work for you is stressful, while others enjoy the ride as they listen to music on their mp3. Maybe driving the car is entertaining for you, but for someone else (like novice driver) can be real stressful experience. See the difference? By understanding the causes of stress you can find the solution for suitable stress reduction.
