What is the difference between distress and eustress?

What will be an ideal response?


Distress is the body's reaction to a perceived negative demand (being ill, losing a job, and doing poorly in a course, for example). Responding to minor negative demands (for example, getting stuck in traffic or losing money in a vending machine) can also cause people to experience distress. Eustress is the body's reaction to perceived positive demands (starting college, beginning a new job, meeting new people, and so on). Eustress can also result from smaller positive demands (going to a social event and playing a sport, for example).
