How to use "Up tight" in context?

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing inherently wrong with being "up tight". In fact, being uptight can actually be a very effective way of dealing with stressful situations.

During a time of stress, people tend to release adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline is a stimulant that energizes people and helps them focus on the task at hand. Cortisol, on the other hand, is a hormone that helps the body conserve energy and relax.

When people are uptight, they are less likely to rely on adrenaline and cortisol. This is because they are worrying about everything that could go wrong.
