Stress

Some people I know have been complaining that they are under alot of stress. Co-workers my wife and others. I am wondering if it is just cause they are all associtated with me or it is just a stressful time of the year for them? Either way I think that since most of them are Japanese I was wondering what kinda stress they could feel, cause I think I have a lock on stress and still seem to handle it pretty well. I live in Japan. People here speak/read/write Japanese. They think like Japanese and they are Japanese. I am not. I only understand 1/3 of what people are saying. I can read very little and write even less. I have stress. I can not preform my job as good as I like because of these things and that causes me more stress. Outside of work, I can not depend on family to full fill my simplest requests in a timely manner if at all. My life seems constantly more fucked up then anyone I know because, "if I want something done I have to do it myself". I have no team, no one on my side to help me. More stress.... constant stress.... I know a lot of people in Japan with similar situations to mine, and they feel it too, but do not spend all day complaining about it. Stress is a part of life, if you can not deal with the stress in your life then do something to change it so you can live a bit more STRESS FREE!
