The 30-Day Minimalism Challenge - Day 26

Hello~ Today's challenge is to figure out what makes us stressed or what causes us to become stressed. I'm normally not a person who gets stressed easily and if I do get stress I can handle it pretty well. There have only been a few times when I felt like I was going crazy and it was most likely due to someone else doing something that bothered me.

I'm in college currently (on my summer break for right now) and I never really get stressed until finals come up. I'm sure many of us dread that word....and week! Finals week is literally the death week for every college/university student out there. Professors pile up the homework right before exams; so you end up being swamped with extra work while you study. And if you aren't doing so great in a class (me with economics) it can make or break you. I cried in relief when I found out I got a B- in economics, because I didn't think I'd do that well. Luckily I was able to finish this semester off well!
I've also noticed I tend to stress out when people touch my things, which I know a lot of people don't like but I get really emotional about it. I'm not sure why but I end up freaking out when people move different things around or just use something when not asking. I have a really good example; my sister came home from college a few days ago and she doesn't have a lot of skincare products with her so she used mine. I was fine with it at first but then I noticed some bottles were touching each other and I freaked out. I actually cried a little bit and told my mom how upset I was and she told me to breathe and that it'd be fine. This may have something to do with me being OCD but it definitely stressed me out.
Lastly people stress me out, and not in the meeting them for the first time type of stress. I get stressed just watching them do random tasks because I don't think they'll do well. Of course I hope they succeed in whatever they do but I always think that I might be able to do it better. It's a bad habit of mine to be honest.
After writing what stresses me out I realized a good portion of my stress might be due to my OCD. I try not to let it bother me too much because it can affect the people around me. Overall I think I have good control over what stresses me out and the things that do stress me out tend to be small.
Tomorrow's challenge is to clean out our junk drawers!
