Being Able To Handle Frustration

By Amanda Baird


It is normal for people to feel frustrated sometimes when things do not go the way they would want it to go. A person may get frustrated because things did not go well at work or school, because they are having conflicts with other people, or just simply internal issues. Of course if one would want to lessen or get rid of frustration, then there are definitely some things that have to be done.

The main root of this kind of feeling is simply high expectations because one will definitely harbor a lot of feelings of dissatisfaction if he does not reach his expected goal. Because of this, he will feel very frustrated about himself and maybe even angry. So the first step in curing this feeling is to simply lower the expectations.

With these lower standards, one will then begin to accept himself more. When one begins to accept himself more and more, then he will not be very frustrated with himself anymore. With this acceptance, he will be able to handle himself more and lessen his personal tension.

The people in his surroundings may also play a very big factor because if there are people that will let him down, he will also be frustrated. Because of this, he will become angry at that person and will harbor negative thoughts. So in order to handle this, one must not expect too much from others and do not take things personally.

Now even if one would do these things in order to avoid frustrated thoughts, there will still be times that these feelings will just pop out because of the stresses in life. One way to be able to handle it would be to have some quiet time. One must think rationally first and try to get to the root of the frustration before trying to come up with a proper solution.

It is also sometimes very important to release all of the pent up tension by doing some things. A lot of people cry when they are frustrated because it allows them to let out everything that is bothering them in one big impulse. If one is not much of a crier, then he may engage himself in some sort of activity that will let him release all of the stress.

However, the best way to deal with this sort of problem would be to tell someone close to about it. This is extremely helpful because one will then have a person who will be able to listen to him and also help him with an answer. At least he will not feel alone when he is trying to deal with his own sort of issues with both internal and external factors.

So basically, those are some of the ways to prevent frustration and also cope with them. Take note that if something is not done about these feelings right away, then they will just accumulate. So nip them at the bud while they are still fresh so that they do not grow.
