Conclusion:

While there are lots of things which can cause stress, they do not affect all people the same. One event may cause one person to totally break down; while the same event is taken in stride by someone else. The events in and of themselves do not cause our internal state of stress, it is the how we process what has happened, our skills in dealing with what has happened, our interpretation of what has happened, plus our own resiliency and self-efficacy.
