Hi, Nagareboshi.
I see. I’m stressed. Thank you.

There really isn't a big difference between "strain" and "tension".
If there were big differences, there wouldn’t be any problems to understand.
I believe there is a slight difference, isn’t there?
Do you interchange them?

Quote:
One definition of "strain" is- To be subjected to great stress.
One definition of "tension" is- Mental, emotional, or nervous strain.
Strain is something you are imposed, and tension is mental strain?
Isn’t there physical strain? When I say physical strain, does it mean “bending and stretching exercises”?
Thank you.
