HOW I DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION

The world is tossing more and more frustration to all of us. It seems that nothing is simple any longer. All attempts to make someone's life easier end up making others more difficult. To make a phone call to a business takes great stamina. A robot forces you to wait while your ears are assaulted with detestable music. When you have gone through a filter of questions, you might even be lucky enough to get to speak to a real person.

Most frustrating, however, is that so many others are equally frustrated and haven't a clue how to handle the feelings. They pick fights, misunderstand your words and intent, and insist they know exactly that which you meant and won't listen to you explain what you had, in fact, said and meant.

People have lost respect for people's personal boundaries. They answer questions put to others; and, ask personal questions with, seemingly, no awareness that they are asking things that are not their right to know, The questions are a total invasion of the right to privacy.

Each person has to find that which works for them, much like people have to find what works as a weight reduction diet for themselves. If you must make calls to places that put you on hold for long times and make it Having yourself put in ult to talk to a person who might be able to understand your request more effectively than the robot.

You will always have choices, You can do something or nothing. If you do something you should be prepared. There seems to be an unwritten rule out there that says when you are in a private home, if something isn't tied down or is gagged, the pickings are free.
