I have friends that are utterly stressed out and I can't figure out why.

Previous experiences in life are a major factor.
A person who has lost their home before is under more stress at work because they fear a reality that others have not seen up close and personal.
Someone one who was shot by the police before feels more stress at a routine traffic stop.
Someone who's been divorced before feels more stress when their spouse is "out with the buddies".
etc...
