How do you fare under pressure?

I feel like there's this butter zone when it comes to pressure. If there's not enough I can't get motivated but if there's too much I get anxious and freak out. Somewhere in the middle though I thrive.

i'm not really good under pressure at all. i get overwhelmed by the smallest things, like having to binge watch a bunch of tv shows. (not all at the same time but in a row) or having a bunch of homework to do, stuff like that. it takes very little to overwhelm me under pressure.

I don't lol, I'm so bad when overly pressured to do things. I tend to just freeze.

Sometimes. It depends on my mood but there have been times when I've say gone into exam and sat there with my mind going completely blank even though I know the answer. It mainly seems to be in interviews and exams, but I have improved on it over the years after having experience.

I feel like not knowing how to do something very well and then being pressured into doing it quickly is the worst thing ever.

I think it depends on your experience in that environment. The first time I had a job interview, I was under a lot of pressure and that affected my speech and being able to think properly on the spot. It gradually got better the more interviews I did.

It really depends on the situation.

But today, I'm near breaking point.

It depends. I do very well when people rely on me and feel I work best when I'm training new people to deal with clients, for example. But other times when it's me with a supervisor it can get overwhelming. Depends on the situation and the person I'm with. Having mild anxiety and occasional panic flare-ups makes pressuring environments not always fun. Luckily it's not something that most people can even notice tho. ;x And I also do well if I'm left alone! then there's no one to witness any possible screw ups aha
