Stress is something I deal with every day in my life, be it from work, school, or home matters. Stress as I see it are the tasks that I need to get done, and as I have more tasks placed on me the more stress I feel.

We were raised and told by our parents and friends to stress out in situations such as a traffic jam or being late for something. We see those as an interference of our being-in-the-world and so we become stressed. But without communication would we still have the ability to become stressed or would we face every situation as a new one and be forced to learn through experience? With that would stress be nothing. I believe Heidegger is wrong in the sense that stress stems directly from communication. For instance say your mother dies, you would become stressed, but not through communication, but through the fact that you lost your mother. No communication is necessary to stress over the loss...
