Stressor is something that makes people worried or anxious: a source of stress.
6. Sometimes we don’t want to say no because we don’t want to offend people but we do this at our own expense. Trying to please people when you know it’s not convenient may not be healthy for your emotional health. If you don’t love yourself you may end up getting hurt in an attempt to please people around you.
