It's the self's pressures to conform to the environment around the self. That means, it is created by humanity to deal with its natural surroundings. Thus, stress is NOT real.
This falls under the same paradigm as Einstein's debate on the reality of time. If we, as a society, arbitrailily create something - does that mean that it is real? Time almost certainly does not exist, for it is something that our selves use to represent ourselves. Therefore, under the same logic, stress does not exist because it is something that humanity has created to express humanity's natural surroundings. The effect of stress occurs, but only because the psyche allows itself to feel that way.
Saying stress is real would be like saying that schizophrenics see real people when they hallucinate.
