Distinguishing between which kind of stress we feel can sometimes be tricky. Stress is sometimes meant to benefit us,
but this does not always happen. Some students find that the stress from taking tests enhances their performance, while others
find that test taking makes them forget everything they know. Psychologists note that the type of stress we feel is also tied to
the kind of personality we have – Type A or Type B. People with Type A personality frequently feel distress. They tend to be
very competitive and often labeled “workaholics” because they devote so much time and energy to their work in order to ensure
their success. Unfortunately, focusing much on work and deadlines can make them feel excessive amount of distress. Because
they are naturally more impatient and uptight, the distress Type A people feel comes predominantly from themselves. People of
Type B are exact opposite: more relaxed and easygoing. Instead of being upset when sitting in traffic jam, people of Type B
would not let the situation control how he or she feels. They find it easier to adapt to change. They are able to deal with stress
in a more positive and effective way, which results in their experiencing more eustress than distress.
