D

o these thoughts ever bother you to a point

that you get exasperated?

You talk to me like I don’t know anything!

You don’t care about how I feel or what I

think!

I do my best but nothing good comes out of it!

I study hard but I am unable to get good

grades!

Everyone else is so lucky, easy, and stress free!

You always ask me to do way too much, it’s

unfair!

If some or all of these statements are true

for you, you are likely to have LFT. LFT is an

acronym for Low Frustration Tolerance. It means

irritation, disturbance and annoyance when

things don’t go the way we want or expect.

Obviously nobody is going to rejoice when his or

her plan is thwarted. But have you noticed how

some people are so calm and

relaxed about everything

that goes on around them?

And we think that things

always work out for them,

no matter what? Quite often

we might even envy them

for the uncomplicatedness

of their life and complexity

of ours. And our golden

defence becomes...

Why is it so hard for me and

so easy for everyone else?
