Imagine your brain is like a busy little kid who wants everything to be perfect. When things don’t go as planned, like spilling coffee or missing an email, the brain gets upset and shouts, “This is a big deal!” That’s irrational stress. It doesn’t matter how small the problem is; your brain thinks it needs fixing right away. This helps you stay alert, but sometimes it makes life feel harder than it really is.
Examples
- A person gets upset because their coffee spilled on their laptop.
- Someone stays up all night because they forgot to reply to a message.
- A kid screams about losing one marble in a bag of hundreds.
