Frustration

Frustration (from Latin frustratio - deception, failure, vain hope) is a mental state caused by objectively insurmountable (or subjectively perceived) difficulties on the way to achieving a goal.

Frustration occurs when a person faces obstacles in meeting his basic needs. These can be both external obstacles (for example, prohibitions, lack of resources) and internal (for example, lack of abilities, knowledge, skills).

Main signs of frustration:

1. increased anxiety, restlessness;

2. feeling of anger, irritability;

3. apathy, depression;

4. decreased self-esteem and self-confidence.

Frustration can lead to aggression, depression, and psychosomatic illnesses. To cope with frustration, it is important to analyze the situation, find alternative ways to achieve the goal, or adjust the goal itself. Methods of relaxation and psychological relief are useful. Overcoming frustration strengthens the individual's resistance to stress.

Frustration is a condition that occurs when a person faces insurmountable obstacles to achieving his goals or meeting his needs. This may be due to various factors such as lack of resources, insufficient support from others, psychological problems, etc.

Frustration can lead to a variety of negative consequences, including depression, anxiety, aggression, sleep disturbances and other mental disorders. However, frustration can also become an incentive to find new ways to solve problems and achieve goals.

To avoid frustration, you need to learn to manage your emotions and find ways to overcome obstacles. It is also important to understand that each person has his own individual characteristics and needs, so you should not compare yourself with other people or set unrealistic goals for yourself.

In general, frustration is an inevitable process in the life of every person. However, if we learn to manage our emotions and look for ways to solve problems, we can avoid many negative consequences and achieve greater success in life.
