Frustration is a feeling of being upset and irritated, and eventually helpless to do anything to get away with it; the feeling that no matter how hard you’re trying, still you’re not getting anywhere, and you don’t even know the reason this is happening with you.
The main reason of frustration is expectations from friends, family members, from the world, and from self! And if expectations aren’t met, we get frustrated. All you need to do here is, change your perspective towards people, and towards the situation. Try to be positive, and surround yourself with positive people.
And lastly, smile! Just force a smile on your face; it may sound strange, but this trick actually works. You will end up smiling, or should I say laughing? Try it for yourself. Reading quotes when feeling frustrated can bring a positive approach to your life. Sometimes, it’s just that one quote, or saying, or a blunt statement from someone, which changes your life!
