I agree would be a bit contagious. But It depends of your level of self confidence and self esteem... You would not affect if you have a strong and compotent personality.
Yes, people think that way, that if someone seems stressfull around, they feel that their mood also goes down, but I don't totally agree with that situation, as we can never feel what the others are going through. It is rightly said in our folk wisdom, that heat is only where there is fire...

you talked about the first condition where you are not the one stressed but subjected to deal with another person who is stressed already , abd you talked perfectely about how to avoid and nit to be affected .
I want to add the second condition where I am the one who is stressed , sure this will affect all the people around , and lead them all to be stressed too , the thing that is not good for any work .
If the leader of your team appears stressed out, anxious or nervous most of the time it has a negative impact on the team. It does not mean that the members will try to copy the leader's behavior, but the negative environment it creates can impart a certain amount of stress on some of the members.
Stress is a nature & so to say a created man made habit for which such individual have not taken the necessary line of action for their life passage . It is in this line I have expressed my opinion in similar views which I submit herewith for your perusal .
Work is worship & to manage the working process for our career development & growth , we should accept the challenge of the problem & in this case tension & worries should not be taken in prior line .
It is in this case if stress come for the working problem instead of thinking & contemplate for the stress we should put for the time being the problem of stress & concentrate on another line of working .
With this receiving with calm & quite mind we can reduce the stress & solve the problem which has come to us .
