A small, unplanned stressor is worse to me than a major chaotic event or change. If a customer comes up to me at work and starts acting rude and demanding, I freak out and lose all sense of normal. 

If a family member dies or comes down with a life-changing illness that causes the entire family to go into crisis mode, I’m the literal champion. I’m organizing moves, making phone calls, and keeping a clear mind. 

What fresh hell is this that I can’t keep composure over small things, but can lord over all with my organizational skills and can-do attitude in times of chaos and crisis?!
