An individual suffering from stress when confronted with a task within his capability is likely to think the task is
- well within his normal ability.
- beyond his level of competence.
- someone else's responsibility.
Explanation from PART66Online
Stress narrows perspective and prompts avoidance, so a stressed individual often disowns a task that is actually within their ability, treating it as someone else's responsibility. They are unlikely to view it calmly as well within their normal ability when under that pressure.

If stress is defined as the difference between an individuals perception of the demands placed upon him and his actual ability to meet those demands, then if you are stressed, even though the task is within your capability, your perception is that it isn't.

I agree, having suffered from stress the simplest things seems too demanding. It is the fact that it IS your responsibility that makes it more stressful.
