Why is it that everyone else seems to handle things so easily, but I have the hardest time with the simplest stuff sometimes?

Because everybodies brain's works differently, some people are hypersensitive to situations based on how they were brought up, for example my own experience I was brought up with the mindset that if I do anything it has to be right and if I don't know I can do it right I wont do it.

It may because others learned how to deal with certain situations before and found ways they think it's beneficial to handle it compared to others who may not have know or found it yet.

If you're an avid social media user, this may be why. Social media, especially the likes of Instagram & Snapchat where photographic stimulation is present the most contribute to this. When you use social media like those, and you see pictures of your friends, colleagues, etc... it subconsciously gives you the idea that everything is positive and well in their lives. Even though that may not be the case. In turn, you feel as if everything is going so well for them and not you. Because you know you.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about." It may seem that everyone else is handling things better. The fact is you are misinterpreting it from you perspective. If you ask a person how they handle the simplest stuff and request a truthful answer. It may surprise that they are not getting it all together. They may also share your struggle. Things are not exactly what they appear to be sometimes. Be kind to others and be kind to yourself. You are the person who is going to handle the simplest stuff. It'll be hard for you to go forward if the self-blaming is in your way.

Each person has their own emotional tolerance and their own strategies to cope with stress. How each person defines "simplest stuff" also differs across the board. What is small to one person can be huge to another. Regardless of the size, it is true that the "stuff" hurts you. If you have a difficult time handling stressful situations, what coping strategies have you used? Why do they not work? Have you explored other coping strategies? Do you have friends or family with whom you can share your thoughts? Is it possible that an overload of stress has made it harder for you to handle additional stress?

Sometimes we judge ourselves harshly! its always very important to evaluate yourself on an individual basis without comparing to others. if you truly believe the issue might be with you. Then you can sit down and identify what makes it difficult to handle this things and what can you do differently. observing other people and what they do that makes them handle it can also be helpful but all in all you must recognize that we are all different and what seems to be simple to you, might not be simple to the other person so don't beat yourself up.

You never know everyone's struggles. People can seem happy on the outside but be struggling on the inside. It is completely okay to not handle change or simple things well. It takes time, energy and resilience. You should not compare yourself to other individuals. Focus on yourself and go at your own pace. How other people handle simple tasks or stuff is not your issue. You can always improve yourself, and I would control that. If you ever want to chat or if you have any questions, please chat us here at 7 cups of tea! We are here to help you.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
