How come when we are uptight or anxious we get very impatient?

(I mean, I do and I think most people do.)

What I mean by impatient, I mean, it seems to take forever for Web pages to load. An elevator takes forever to arrive.

And noise is far more aggravating.

You just want to feel good again and it's trying your patience when relaxation is not coming fast enough.

That might explain a lot of heavy drinking in our society as well. We live in a stressful society and we often reach for a quick fix for relief.
