What is Frustration?
It is a feeling of disappointment and
discomfort aroused in the mind of human beings only when something has went
wrong with them or they are not able to achieve the goals that they had set for
themselves. In every ten people seven are affected by it and out of them three
are severely affected. It is a mental feeling that is growing like other
dangerous diseases such as AIDS.
In today’s competitive scenario every person
has his targets that he wanted to achieve timely and if he is not able to achieve
his targets he is frustrated. This frustration can affect the mind in negative
way in which person’s thinking power gets slowed down. Frustration led a person
a take wrong decisions and as a result of which he is not able to come with
innovative ideas. His creativity gets stopped down. He is not able to achieve
all his targets and is left with only his uncompleted plans and unachieved
targets. Such a frustrated person goes far away from reality.
How this feeling of frustration does arise?
Firstly the feeling of frustration is aroused
in human beings when they are not able to achieve the targets that they had set
for themselves. Secondly the feeling of frustration is aroused when they
compare themselves with others and find that they are lacking behind while
others had made a rapid progress but they had remained where they were earlier.
This causes frustration in them. When the people misinterpret their
capabilities and set those targets which are far away from their potentials. They
just compare themselves with those who are more educated or are equipped with
high potential or more resources and then set their target up to those levels
where they factually could never reach. And then when they are not able to meet
their targets they get frustrated.
It is the fact that everyone on this earth are not
born with same potential and have same abilities and in same area. If they
misinterpret their functional area and start their career in line in which they
are weak or the line which is not meant actually for them. Then this results in
frustration on the condition of being not achieving the targets.
Example:
Some people enjoy the post of CEO in reputed companies just because they are
born in high society and rich family even though they are not that much talented
while others although they are more qualified and talented struggles hard to
acquire he middle class jobs also. If common man does not make effort to remove
these types of social injustices then this led to frustration in them. The
involvement of large number of young persons in activities like terrorism is
also an outcome of frustration.
