Bothered by not getting something done?

Postby Shinobu Hikaru » Sat May 12, 2007 3:29 am

I noticed something today, I was play an online MMORPG game and I had plan ingame for the day to do something and I was having no luck with it and I started feeling really annoyed and frustrated and I got really squirmish and rubbing my feet against the floor feeling need to toss my controller at the TV or something like that...but I caught myself. I just got up and got something to snack on and it calmed me down^^ Though whole day I was really frustrated trying to get my stupid router to work correctly so I could help my GF and had no luck. =(
I also can remember back when I had to do something that seemed very hard or overhelming that I got really annoyed because I know I might not be able to finish it. Even with some art work such as sketches...everything had to be perfect to me and when I couldn't get it the way I wanted or had a hard time I would start feeling frustrated to a point I just wanted to rip up what I had done so far.Some I did that I couldn't do much of I scribbled all over out of frustration or took my pen/pencil and stabbed it to death. I just feel that whenever I can't finish anything I set out to do I feel bad for it or annoyed to point of being a little destructive. Glad there is always something that keeps me being good. :D

I don't this is such a big deal. People from all walks of life tend to become annoyed and stressed by not doing something they wanted to, being anxious to do something hard, or just getting fed up with things they are already doing. Basically it's not a big deal at all, just try to cut down on the destructiveness.

I get that way too sometimes. What helps me is to remember that as long as I am giving the best effort I can and doing the best I can I can't ask for more than that. If you are doing youre best that means you have hat the ceiling of that moment. If your best isn't good enough for you than grab another piece of paper and try again. We are only capable of what we are capable of right now. We can get better with practice (in most things) .

Something similar happened to me last week. I was playing the final quest of the thieves guild on Oblivion on my 360, and the game glitched out, so basically I couldn't complete the last quest, (which was also the last achievement I needed from the game to get 1000/1000) unless I started all over again.

I was so pissed off. The first day I swore I'd never play it again, but it kept bugging me and bugging me that after about one day I had to start over again or else I'd never be able to get it out of my head. Thankfully I managed to finish it the second time so it all worked out I guess.

That's happened to me whilst playing computer games also. It is incredibly frustrating but I always go back and do it all again. If we set our minds to a goal, nothing can stop us achieving it.

I also lost most of my work on a computer-programming project one year and, afterwards, I felt like killing myself. However, when I started it again I ended-up doing it better than the first time.
