Silly Fad, Stress

Prompt: What completely silly fad have you fallen victim to?

I wore feathers in my hair for awhile.Wearing headbands with flowers or shaped like hats. Wearing hats. They look like Downton Abbey but I don't care. I love that show. I wear some of those big necklaces, the ones by Jennifer Lopez. Bracelets that are like Pandora. I carry big purses. Watching Lady Gaga Gaga videos. I like her. I just do.

In high school, I had a mood ring, wore bell bottom jeans, peasant style tops, platform shoes, hatching jackets, short skirts, knee high boots, hippie headbands, snake shaded clothes and shoes, purses to match {Yes, I know. I hate snakes! I would never wear them now!}, Go Go Boots and chokers.

Prompt: Does stress undermine empathic abilities? Does it matter if you are a men or a woman?

I cry when others cry. I work in mental health and try to put myself in their place. My job stresses me out. Trying to pass meds and the patients are yelling. This could cause a Med error. Driving in snow stresses me out. I get anxious over TV Shows. I am not good at multi tasking. This stresses me out. Men cuss more when they are stressed and woman seem to cry about it. At least I do.
