Can you handle the pressure?

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

No, being under too much pressure makes me go like Twilight in Lesson Zero.

I'll have to say yes.

Pressure can be both challenging experiences or very stressful situations.

There can be subtle differences between the two but generally that kind of stuff improves my work output.

Tests tend to push me a little in terms of preparation and doing it.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,738]

No, I can not it makes me feel miserable. My experiences with pressure is that I usually crack after a while. There is a lot of pressure put on me and it's killing me quickly.

just remember to breath

I'm fine with increases in pressure, as long as the ratio of my volume to temperature is reduced accordingly.

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

Not sure how to answer this...I don't like pressure, yet I have a tendency to put things off until the last minute, and then I work like a boss and get it done with grade A material. Just because I can do it, does not mean I like it.....

The only time I'm really under pressure is if I'm given a big project to lead at work. I like my job though, so that sort of pressure usually seems exciting because I like taking on new challenges. Same thing with my hobbies, when I'm playing video games I usually take any perma-death/hard-difficulty option because that added pressure makes the game more engaging.

God no. I have extreme panic disorder. I can't even make a phone call to a friend without getting super nervous.

We're taking finals this week at school. And I can tell you, today was a monster.

So, our Government teacher is not really a government teacher, and has no idea what she's doing. She doesn't teach us anything. At all. So, I sat there doing my government final knowing that I've already failed. And if that wasn't bad enough, I didn't end up doing my dual credit speech final- because I just found out today that he sent the test via email a few days ago. I feel awful, but the damage is already done

 

Other than school, there are things that happen where everyone throws everything on me. There is a lot of pressure going on in all areas of life, for me, right now. Family, relationship, school, and the whole, transitioning to an adult thing. It is hard :/

 

For me, I'd say that pressure from workload is a great catalyst to make me want to get it all done. But there's other pressure that I can't do anything about, other than to idly wait it out.

If I'm put on the spot I won't react too well. Like I wouldn't be able to think of anything at all.

 

So in certain situation no, I can't handle the pressure.

[Starlight Fan 538]

I'm the type of person who worries too much so I often exert a bit too much unnecessary pressure on my self. It helps me get work done and is also probably slowly driving me insane 

[Troblems 5,608]

I get way more done under pressure, however I try not to put myself in that position in the first place. If I'm able to prepare ahead of time, I absolutely will to avoid extra unnecessary pressure. I make mistakes if I'm in a hurry.

I'm very bad on handling pressure and expectations. If there is pressure on me or I'm expected to do something it makes me panic and I sometimes fail to answer the simplest questions.

 

This couldn't be more me this entire month. I mean, I do believe in starting up again and perhaps take a different route and approach to things but I also know that I've never really performed well under pressuring tests.  Eheh, yeah I should consider this more now. A no-no for me.

[FirstPonySpectre 176]

TL;DR - I don't really care bout a lot of stuff so I don't get stressed. 

 

I've always been surprisingly good at keeping my cool even in the most stressful of situations. I'm always really relaxed when I shouldn't be. I think it just kinda comes down to my typical outlook on most things.

 

I really just don't care much...

 

I mean, there are things I care about, like my friends and family and my future... but more importantly video games... jkjk

But I mean, I don't really want to spend my life worrying about every little thing. Ya know? So I just don't care about a lot of things. I guess that's why I don't get so stressed out about things. 

[Pomfritter 165]

Short term - Sure, I suppose I can handle the pressure of a daunting task that is due the next day or the pressure of being the last alive in Counterstrike. 

Long term - I'd imagine if I waited until the last minute on every assignment or was always the last alive on Counterstrike, I would start to suffer from the stress accompanying it and be unable to fulfill my duties in those areas after some time.

[Shadowed Watcher 183]

Nope, I cannot handle pressure-any kind. It incites my basic instincts, which is... to crawl away and hide in the darkness where no one can find me. 

[Kurael 43]

It changes a lot about me, I can easily handle a heck ton of pressure sometimes but other times i canthandle it!

 

Well I think that's because I have a very unstable personality ^^
