Why does my stresses make me so less motivated to do things for myself?

because I feel that my stresses show in my expressions and it makes me less of a people person.

Feeling less motivated is a problem with stress, but you may also want to talk to your doctor about the possibility of depression.

Not feeling motivated is difficult to deal with, and I feel for you. But with the right help, and someone to talk to, you will get better. Good luck hon.

That sounds like a unique combination. When people are stressed, the suggested cure is to get things done, so you won't have that stress over your shoulders. So the stress would be a motivation to get things done and out of the way.

It sounds more like you are depressed. I think you should consider getting professional help, such as seeing a therapist.
