Scenario

When co-founders have incompatible stress responses during crisis

My co-founder handles stress by working 80-hour weeks and going silent, and I handle it by wanting to talk through everything immediately, and we're in a really stressful period right now and this difference is killing us. We both think the other person's approach is making things worse.

More people experience this than they realize.
