"My Stressor As A Child"

From the list presented on the course home page, the stressor that I can most identify with would be chaos.  Many people probably looked at that list and thought that the stressor that causes the most problems would be the one that is most mentioned by individuals but the fact of the matter is that stress can be caused by the smallest thing.  I didn't have a utopian type of household.  It was a battle field everyday but it had some problems.  Chaos within the home can cause a child to become a negative individual and in my case, it caused me to become a passive aggressive person.  I would never confront my problems or face my fears.  I held everything in all the time and within any given moment, I would explode.

I dealt with chaotic situations by ignoring them or trying to ignore them by putting on my head phones and listening to my music.  While at home, I sometimes would build me a fort and read a book--try to envision myself as the character so that I could escape.  As an adult, I don't like to argue and have been called antisocial.  I like to socialize but I find myself not wanting to be around dramatic people.  I try to control my world by eliminating any type of negativity.  So far, it has worked out for me.
