9. I'm stress because I'm too busy.
(What is the difference between 8 and 9? If we use 'out,' do we feel more stressful?)
The difference between "stressful" and "stressed" is this:
- stressful - means you are causing stress for someone else
- stressed - means you are feeling excess stress or pressure

8. "stressed out" is a phrasal verb.
9. "stress" can be either a present tense verb (doesn't need the helping verb "am" in the contraction "I'm") or a noun.

(Thank you!....There was a spelling mistake in #9. Canb we us as in #9?)

8. I'm stressed out because I'm too busy.
9. I'm stressed because I'm too busy.

(What is the difference between 8 and 9? If we use 'out,' do we feel more stressful?)

I think "stressed out" means you are feeling as much stress as you think you can tolerate. Being "stressed" may be less than a maximum amount of stress. "stressed out" is an idiomatic term; it means only what the speaker means it to say.

There is a spelling mistake in #9. Can we use "as" in #9?

Yes, you can use "as" in #9. The correct sentence would be "I'm stressed as I'm too busy."

Now, let's discuss the difference between sentence #8 and sentence #9. Sentence #8, "I'm stressed out because I'm too busy," contains the phrasal verb "stressed out." This means that the person is feeling an excessive amount of stress or pressure due to being busy. The addition of "out" intensifies the feeling of stress.

On the other hand, sentence #9, "I'm stressed because I'm too busy," simply states that the person is feeling stress or pressure because of their busy schedule. It does not have the same intensity as sentence #8 where "out" is added.

So, to answer your question, using "out" in sentence #8 does make the feeling of stress more intense compared to sentence #9.
