there is no “good” stress

In my perception there is no such thing as “good” stress: what has been called “eustress” is actually just a normal stimulus for me. Driving in a totally unknown city for the first time may be stimulating or stressful – depending on your attitude, disposition – and of course also on the other drivers: in Paris I have always perceived them as aggressive (driving there was stressful for me), in Brussels always as friendly (driving there was stimulating).
