Stress: Gender Based?



I want you to ask yourself a question. How do you deal with stress? Do you work out? Do you eat ice cream? Do you take a nap? Do you watch Netflix? People tend to say the way people deal with stress is all the same. I beg to differ. I believe everyone deals with stress in their own way, especially us as college students. We are probably the most stressed out people on this planet. Between figuring out what we want to do for the rest of our life, to making good grades, then figuring out a way to pay for all that college throws at us, it’s all so stressful. I feel as though guys and girls each deal with it differently as well. Guys tend to go work out or do something that deals with exerting a lot of energy and aggression. Girls tend to go shopping, get their nails done, or have a girl’s day. The two are complete opposites. So the next time you are stressed out, think about if the opposite sex would be doing what you are doing to cope if they too were stressed out. Your answer may surprise you.
