copes
Handles life's pressures
Copes is the third-person singular of cope, meaning to deal with difficulty or manage under pressure: She copes with stress by exercising, He barely copes with the workload.
To cope is to get by, often just barely—surviving rather than thriving.
The word implies strain: you cope with problems, not pleasures.
