How can stress impact the way you communicate? On average people under low levels of stress can process an average of 7 messages at a time. Under high levels of stress however people can only process 3 messages, meaning you are more likely to miss vital information.
There are many potential ways that stress can affect your social interactions with others. For example, some may become less likely to associate with anyone at all or when interactions are presented they may become very short and slightly rude or it could also just be emotionless.
