Are you easily frustrated?

I'm a bottom line person. People who use 500 words to get a point across that requires only 20 drive me nuts. The really dense ones, after rambling off on tangents for several minutes, will sometimes ask, "What was your question again?" I don't dare repeat it.
 
I use to get frustrated very easily until I started working on my inner self. The only people that can frustrate me is my hubby and adult children.. However, working on me, they do not get to frustrate me so easily anymore. I came up with this thing called "a pass". Which means when I feel frustration coming on, I say to myself, this is not that important so they get a pass. Keeps stress away. I also understand that everything is not about me.. everyone is entitled to their opinions and feelings.

I learned that if someone is frustrating me.. there is something that I have not dealt with within myself for them to frustrate me. I learned that its not what I say but how I say it. I have learned to put myself in time out and re visit the situation after I sleep on it.

YESSSS!!!! I so understand. I am at the age, get to the point. When I was in the working world, please don't sit and talk to me 3 days of how your computer system works.. I am hands on, I want to dive in and we figure it out from there.
 
As humans, there will always be times when we are frustrated. But the key is, can we handle it in a positive manner? Not easy by no means but well worth it. Still a work in progress for me.
 
...and another thing that really irritates me is when people just waltz into a room where I'm listening to music in 4/4 time!
 
One thing that frustrates me is when I go to a lot of trouble making or buying foods for friends or family members who have special dietary needs just so they have something on the table they can enjoy. Then they turn around and eat everything else that I'm serving. One year my hubby's aunt who is diabetic ate a huge piece of chocolate layer cake instead of the two kinds of sugar free ice cream and cookies I had for her. I was fuming.

SMH!!! Thats how it is sometimes. We roll with it and keep it moving.
 
My frustrations are never from other folks, or events

Always from my own disabilities

The inability to fit wood has followed me for many years
It's my impatience in finishing things
It's why I build cabins and not cabinets

Even building a simple bird house....trying to fit cedar shakes to pine tree roots drives me nuts

Seems simple...in my mind
My hands tell me other

Being diabetic myself I will say that we can have some treats! Just not all the time. Having a real treat on a holiday or birthday helps. I can't stand when someone tries to control what I eat!

I'm guilty of that!

I eat so much plain/boring fish, chicken, salad, etc... that when I'm out I sometimes say to heck with it and eat things that I would never eat at home.

SRS frustrates me. It's uncomfortable as hell, and I get antsy, angry, moody. Thankfully, the gf is quite sympathetic, so I don't have to deal with it, too often.

The preceding, of course, calls to mind that Hawaiian disease: Lackuh Nookie, which has been treated, successfully, by frequent visits to the volcano: Kummon Uhwanna Layuh.
 
I'm not easily frustrated at all.
I guess when you have 4 children 2 yrs apart you learn to be flexible.
VERY flexible.
Putting things in perspective helps me too.
Choosing my battles helps.
Slowing down and taking 3 deep breaths.
Lowering expectations.
Remembering it's not all about me.
