People often show stress through changes in behavior or appearance. Common signs include irritability, restlessness, or withdrawal from others. Some may have trouble sleeping, eat more or less than usual, or struggle to concentrate. Physically, stress can show up as headaches, tense muscles, or looking tired and run-down.
