This topic is dealing with understanding why you feel the way you do. With children, I can understand that they do not always understand what is going on when they lose their temper or get upset. This will make you look at what triggers certain reactions in you and where those feelings are coming from.
Interpersonal relationships are an important factor at work and being able to understand and control your emotions can help in advancement at work.
In your personal life, understand emotions so you know how to interaction with people is also important. If you have no control over your emotions and lose your temper frequently, people will try to avoid you.
The first step is to understand why you feel certain things and what can trigger them. Then you need to be able to understand which emotions are fine to have, but not let them control and your interactions. You need to understand your emotions to properly utilize them.

Making Emotions Make Sense
- Having to stay at work when starting to feel sick. It was frustrating because if I could only go home straight away and rest up, I could probably sleep it off and be back at work the next day or the day after feeling fine. However, staying on and not getting the rest when I needed it meant I fell ill and was sick for the next few weeks.
- I always feeling down and I don’t know How bad and good am I ? I think , I become so bad start from I’m married. If I apply for new job, I feel so frustrating because my English speaking is so bad now. totally , I’m not sure everything ….
- I am on vacation from work and am frustrated with myself because I can’t find the motivation to get out of the house and do anything! This is particularly frustrating because I am currently an English assistant in France and my job isn’t very challenging… I just returned for a trip and have given myself 2 days to “recover” but now I feel guilty that I am not making more out of my time in France by just staying inside.
- I completed my graduation but still I don’t have any job while all of my classmates are mostly placed in campus.my parents asked me to call for a vacancy(even though one year finished after graduation) to the placements director.i feel much frustrated to ask him.at last I asked him.as expected he treated me badly.he told me to look for a low level job instead of giving me an opportunity
- I guess the most frustrating thing I’ve had to do was to find work. Job hunting can get tedious over time, especially if one has been waiting for call backs for quite some time now. At first one feels pleased at the change of pace from being busy with work to one day waking up with no due dates, etc. But the feeling gets old fast and one feels the desire to be productive again.
- I had to design a survey using an ineffective method, due to the preference of my manager, even though other methodologies were more appropriate for the research we were conducting and would yield more useful results, without increasing the time or the cost of the research. I was frustrated because my manager lacks methodological expertise (which I have and our client has) and frequently revises our methodologically sound research designs based on her “gut feeling.” Unfortunately when we follow her gut feelings we often run into problems during data collection, analysis or presenting and substantiating our findings. In spite of these constant problems, my manager insists on using her gut feelings and does not see a correlation with her choices and the problems we experience. Much more frustrating for me is that 1) she disregards the experience and expertise that I bring to work; 2) her choices end up making me appear to be incompetent in the eyes of our clients or colleagues.
- I have been doing the same type of work for 11 years and find that I, after having obtained a degree, no longer have the patience or desire to deal with clients who have unreasonable demands and expectations. I do not enjoy having to abide by the saying that ‘the client is always right’ and accept abuse from clients who believe that they know the job better than the professional they engaged to do the task for them. I find it frustrating in that I feel as though I have worked hard to get where I am and I do not feel as though I am appreciated or respected.
- I have had to draft a very important email negotiating terms for a recent job offer. The reason this was frustrating is that I had to draft this email while making sure my two young kids were cared for, doing laundry, making supper, and even trying to relax! This feeling of constantly juggling one too many balls is extremely frustrating and overwhelming.
- I have no growth potential in my job, because the other individuals I work with are not strong in their skill set. Therefore, I do not feel that they are technically prepared to support the efforts that I am fullfilling. Therefore, I have no growth potential within the section and I find it very frustrating.
- I keep getting told that I’m not trying hard enough and that I’m making excuses for not excelling in what I see to be my weak areas. The fact is that I’m in a job where those weak areas are quite important and trying hard is not good enough (to clarify, i’m not a pilot whose flying skills are weak but to hear my office environment you’d think I was). So I’d like to figure out where I can focus my work pathway to highlight my strengths and not feel like such a dummy.
- Missed a client because I did not time manage. Not knowing why a client did not rebook with me because of something I said. Feeling defensive about not running over mums new roof. I get frustrated about working part-time. My period lasted two weeks lots if things not losing anymore weight not getting things done in a timely manner
- One of the most frustrating thing I have been experiencing is finding a new job. I worked hard to get my degree and yet I can’t seem to find a full-time job. I have been lucky to have at least found part-time jobs that are somewhat related to the field I pursed, but it is difficult living with such tight finances. The most frightening thing to me is that as I have met with more disappointments over the years, I have slowly lost interest in things that I once enjoyed doing – and lately it’s been tough to rediscover the drive I once had. There are times when I feel like I have regressed in the growth I have gained, even after reminding myself all of the things I have already accomplished.
- The most frustrating thing I have had to do these past few days was deal with an employee who called me out for being sick and unable to come into work. This was frustrating because there was nothing I could do to change the way I felt, I had already taken medicine and nothing was working. Already trying to make myself feel better resulted in mad employees who had to take my shift on a late notice.
- The most frustrating thing in the past few days has been tackling an unfamiliar problem at work. This was frustrating because for the past few years, work has not been as challenging as it once was, so facing something I wasn’t used to and couldn’t solve right away created frustration and feelings of inadequacy.
- To explain to my husband I hate my job and he need to help me! he think I should be grateful simply because I have one. but while i’m working he get to be at home with the baby and I feel that is my job and I am doing his job
- What am I really meant to do that would make me feel meaningful to myself and family. I am not sure I really know even who I am . Why would I say in jobs that have no meaning to me when I know that they will not be the end all be all for me .
- Work lately has been frustrating, because of the lack of focus and feeling of nessesity. When I applied I thought I understood that I would be using speaking and communications abilities. I had hoped that this would help me sharpen my skills as well as allow me to set a name for myself. I have also been frustrated by the feeling of lack necessity. I understood that my position was needed… thus I was hired correct? Lately it has seemed that I am just delegated tasks which are menial and unimportant, and most importantly do not jive with my original work title. In short because of a management shift I feel I have fallen into a crack and been relegated to the corner… which will do me nor the office any good.
