I Feel Overwhelmed by Even Small Daily Stresses and Often Break Down. why am i so bad at Handling Pressure When Others Seem to Cope Just Fine?

Dear friend, please know that your feelings are completely valid and you’re not alone in this struggle. Comparing yourself to others is like comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel. Your sensitivity isn’t a weakness – it means you experience life deeply. Let’s start small together: try the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique when stressed (name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, etc.), and remember to breathe deeply. Progress isn’t linear; be as kind to yourself as you would be to a dear friend going through the same thing. You’re growing at your own perfect pace.
