YSK: A lot of what people call “their personality” is actually just chronic stress they got used to

WHY YSK: if you feel tense all the time, impatient for no big reason, mentally tired even on easy days, wired at night but sluggish in the morning… that might not just be “how you are.”

when your nervous system stays under low-grade stress long enough, your brain starts treating that state as normal and you stop feeling stressed and start calling it your personality which is kinda wild when you really think about it.

You think you’re:
• naturally irritable
• bad at relaxing
• always behind
• “just not a morning person”
• tired for no clear reason

but a lot of that can be your body stuck in survival mode long after the original pressure changed.

and here’s the weird part, real rest can feel uncomfortable at first. Quiet feels wrong. Doing nothing feels like you’re messing up somehow. That’s usually a nervous system that forgot what neutral feels like.

Most people don’t realize they’re stressed. They just think that’s their baseline now, that’s just “me.”

Once that clicks… it’s hard to unsee. it was for this guy anyways..ugh
