During a world-wide crisis, stressful thoughts and events can put us on edge, and when we’re on edge, small irritations often get blown out of proportion. To make things worse, just when our ability to deal with unsolicited advice, negative feedback, or disagreements is at it’s weakest, we’re likely to be receiving a heavier dose than usual. After all, our co-workers, friends, and loved ones are likely to be as stressed out as we are.
