The word for today is "frustration"

[Kitosdad]

FRUSTRATION, the feeling that you have when everything you attempt goes wrong.

I'm certain our Forum members have experienced it when trying to write a sentence that sounds sensible to themselves, and yet still being uncertain as to wether it is correct.

Or when taking one of our grammar tests you change your mind as to the correct answer, just after you have pressed the " Check answer " button. That is frustration.

The feeling you get when your car refuses to start and you are late for work, or when the dog next door just won't stop barking, and you want to sleep. Frustration yet again.

It can lead to all kinds of stress-related illnesses, so avoid it where you can.

Relax, stay calm, and it will disappear, given time.

Frustration is a part of our life. And without it we won’t feel happy or satisfied ever. Without that barking dog you won’t ever enjoy calm and quiet nights. Without that mistakes you have made in tests your good results will never gladden you.
Every feeling should be accepted with pleasure. Because without bad feelings we won’t ever feel good ones.

" but I really wonder how, Kitosdad, a member of this much proficiency can say ''' I don't even know what these words mean...''' ? "

Sahid59, because it's really is true. I may appear educated, but I'm not really, just a word-smith with a big heart.

I help wherever I can, but I am aware of, and acknowledge, my limitations.

Hi Sahid

I've been wanting to tell you for a while now that your avatar reminds me of an expression that is sometimes used here in the US:

"Talk to the hand."

And that fits rather nicely with the topic of this thread because I think you may well feel some frustration if someone says this to you.

I'm sure that is not what you intended your avatar to imply, but I thought you might be interested in the expression anyway.

Take care,
Amy
