Negative emotions can be the curse of many a happy successful human being.
We get on a great run in life with friends, creative projects and our job and then something will happen where things will become “bad”.
Two examples:
You decide to give someone you love a gift, it could be something physical and tangible or it could be something more like a service. But the receiver doesn’t receive it positively or act upon it in the way you hoped. They are perhaps ungrateful or maybe indifferent.
You say “Well that was a waste.”
You have a plan at work, an idea that you’d like to implement that you think would change things for the better in a big way. However nobody understands it at first but seem ok with you trying it and showing it to them. You know it will be a great idea so you act on it right away.
When the finished result is completed, you show it off with much gusto. The response however is mute and flat. You show it to your colleagues again in the same and also a different way to re-explain yourself. They must get it now, you think. But instead they don’t. Thoughts start running through your head: Are they stupid? Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something? Am I out of my league here? Should I take my awesome ideas elsewhere if they don’t get them?
One thought on “Why We Get Angry or Frustrated…”
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
