From little niceties like trading small talk with the cashier at the grocery store to the big moments, like getting married or being the keynote speaker at your company’s annual conference, life is one long string of talking to and with other people. And when you’re a parent, it can often feel easier to reach your max tolerance — kids have a way of sucking up all the energy you may otherwise devote to socialization (have kids, they said; it’ll be fun, they said). So, sometimes we feel stress big time over our daily interactions with others.
