Personal stress in the psychology context refers to the experience of stress at an individual level, resulting from the perception of an imbalance between the demands placed on a person and their resources or ability to cope with those demands. It involves emotional, mental, and physiological responses to internal or external stimuli, known as stressors, which can range from daily hassles to significant life events or chronic conditions. Personal stress is a subjective experience, meaning its intensity and effects vary widely among individuals, influenced by personal factors such as resilience, coping strategies, and support systems.
