I was just curious. Personally, I keep it in, I don't trust people very easily, and i usually only consult people I do trust if it's a huge issue.

In my profession, when things get stressful, people can start dying. It is very important to asses the situation calmly and make decisions based on information, experience and resources, not emotions and panic. It might actually be necessary to send someone into a situation where they might not survive, so that the rest of us can, a difficult but necessary choice.
Showing stress can undermine authority and confidence so it is necessary to always present a calm, collected facade, no matter what one is actually feeling.
Striking out at others, either physically or verbally, does absolutely nothing to improve the situation.
A mixture between talking it out with others and keeping it to myself. I have maybe 3 friends who I'd even bother talking about my problems with and most of the time, they do help in feeling better. The only problem with that is, and even I'm guilty with it, sometimes people try to fix the problem right there for you instead of listening which makes me regret even talking to them about it. The best way I deal with it is the moment I eventually stop moaning about it and face whatever the problem is or if its something I can't change, play/listen to music or game to get my mind off of it.
Oh, and I hate the lashing out at others thing, those people I eventually stop talking to. Its not fair to people who have nothing to do with it and that sh*beep* is very annoying. Its a good way to end up alone if you do that too much. Its not hard to say "I'm not feeling well, can we talk later?" or just isolate yourself.
I feel the same way. Unfortunately a lot of people are just too insistent on having their way at that very moment and refuse to let you take a few moments to cool down, so regretful, hurtful things are sometimes said or done. We just have to calm down and remember how much we like the other person, and that they are there because we chose to spend time with them and vice-versa. A lot of people start to take their friends and significant others for granted by blaming things on them, snapping at them or being cruel to them because someone else made them feel like crap and they feel like lashing out at someone who they think will always take it and be there. But those people are usually in for a shock.
Procrastinate because thinking about what ever stresses me makes my muscles hurt.
i've never understood the lashing out on others thing. never felt the urge within me to get mad at someone because of stress from other situations. i usually go for the ice cream then eventually figure out what i gotta do
I've kept stress to myself for so long that I've gotten depressed! Although I'm not sure if that's got anything to do with it. No a good idea, let me tell you that.
I don't ever get stressed over little things - it's much easier for me to be chilled out and laid back. But when I get weighed down by big problems: often I drink more than usual, don't go outside as much as I should, stop talking to people and listen to a lot of music. Music is the only one that is even remotely helpful in coping, but I'd recommend not trying any of those.
i bottle it all up. but i dont find a way to deal with it. it just eats away at me until i snap. i hate going to therapists and counsellors, so i found that email counselling was the best option for me
making more friends,caring others,
and tell myself stress is good , it is my body to help me face the challenge.
Depends on what I am stressed out about. I usually don't have anyone to let it out on, or talk it out with so I keep it to myself and fiddle with things or work to relieve stress.
I do tend to get very angry at times though and thrash myself or things around me.
It just all depends.
Similar to myboyfriendsbitch, except when it comes to school work I do all that and include talking to myself. Like I'll just sit on the computer browsing sites and talk to myself while doing it.
