•English - Writeacher, Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 7:32am 8. I'm stressed out because I'm too busy.
9. I'm stress because I'm too busy.
(What is the difference between 8 and 9? If we use 'out,' do we feel more stressful?)
The difference between "stressful" and "stressed" is this:
- stressful - means you are causing stress for someone else
- stressed - means you are feeling excess stress or pressure

8. "stressed out" is a phrasal verb.
9. "stress" can be either a present tense verb (doesn't need the helping verb "am" in the contraction "I'm") or a noun.
======================
(Thank you!....There was a spelling mistake in #9. Canb we us as in #9?)

8. I'm stressed out because I'm too busy.
9. I'm stressed because I'm too busy.

Answer 1

I think "stressed out" means you are feeling as much stress as you think you can tolerate. Being "stressed" may be less than a maximum amount of stress. "stressed out" is an idiomatic term; it means only what the speaker means it to say.
