+**Title: Riding the Waves: Navigating Stress and Finding Balance**
+Life is a rollercoaster of stress, and figuring out how to ride its waves is a journey of self-discovery. In this essay, I'm going to share my experiences with three stress triggers that hit close to home: not being on time, people not listening, and dealing with loud noises. Each of these situations stirs up a mix of emotions that I've learned to navigate.
+**Not Being On Time:**
+One of my stress triggers is the fear of not being on time. It's that anxious feeling of potentially missing out on something important and, at the same time, worrying about making others wait. The pressure of inconveniencing someone and the fear of missing out on key moments make being late a real stressor.
+**People Not Listening:**
+Another stressor is when people don't listen. It gets to me because it feels like I'm not being heard or understood. This situation triggers a mix of worry and anxiety. The frustration of thinking I'm being ignored or undervalued adds an extra layer of stress.
+**Loud Noises:**
+Loud noises, like a sudden burst of sound, also get under my skin. They bring about this wave of anxiety and worry. Dealing with sensory overload in loud environments can be overwhelming, making it crucial to find effective ways to cope.
+*Current Coping Mechanisms:*
+So, how do I handle these situations? When people aren't listening, I try to be proactive by waiting for my turn or expressing the need to share my thoughts. In the case of loud noises, I usually opt for an adaptive strategy - either leaving the area or going with the flow until I can make a graceful exit. Overall, these strategies work for me, but there are moments when challenges arise.
+*Perception by People Close to Me:*
+Those close to me generally see my reactions and coping methods in a positive light. They appreciate my proactive and adaptive approaches. However, it's not all sunshine, especially when frustration kicks in. When I get upset, the positive perception might take a hit, and that's something I understand.
+*Improvement of Reactions and Coping Methods:*
+I know there's room for improvement. One way I'm considering is opening up to someone about what's going on. Talking it out and seeking alternative strategies might be a game-changer. It's a step towards personal growth, acknowledging that there's always a chance to handle stress in better ways.
+*Conclusion:*
+In the end, managing stress is a journey. By recognizing specific triggers, evaluating my coping strategies, considering others' perspectives, and being open to improvement, I'm working towards building resilience and finding balance in the midst of life's challenges.
