Stress

Chris in stressed mode.

“	Stress hinders the emotions and physical abilities as swiftly as a bullet.	”
Chris, equating "stress" with being shot

Stress is the bane of Christian Weston Chandler's existence.

When pressed on his "high-functioning" autism, Chris eventually learned that outside of high school, he can't blame his shortcomings on autism. He discovered that "stress" works just as well. However, it's assumed that Chris could be confusing "stress" with depression, refusing to admit that he is in fact, unhappy with his current situation, as well as the fact that Chris has never experienced actual stress in his life apart from his consistent paranoia over getting trolled.

When under the effects of "stress," Chris typically posted videos without his glasses and talked in a more meek variation of his usual monotone speaking voice. It is during these periods of feeling "stressed" that Chris will opt to remove himself from the Internet for about a week or so, and then come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and given a new resolve to finish the Love Quest. This is most likely due to his autistic regenerative abilities that make sure that his heart never goes below 0% and into the negatives.
