Do you fold under pressure? I was just looking at a job in the paper and it was asking do you fold under pressure? I think Im quite good under pressure but then it depends on what type of pressure? Im not so crash hot when it comes too adding in my head and would actually find this pressure, where as if someone hurt themselves and needed me too help I would be great? What pressure makes you fold and what pressure are you good under?

I think financial pressure makes me fold more than other things. There are a lot of pressures like deadline pressures, family pressures, friendship etc. But I feel helpless and down if I don't have the money when my family needs it. For myself I really don't care less, as long as my shop is OK and I only shop for my needs not wants.

I don't do very well under pressure and panic much to easy . I feel that I am stressed all the time and tend to yell a lot as a result . It takes a long time for me to let go of something that is bothering me and even though I don't like feeling this way , I am unable to change the way I get when I am under a lot of pressure .
