Frustration is a human emotion that occurs in situations where one's goals remain unreachable indefinitely. These goals are important to a person and one holds on to them despite their elusiveness. In terms of psychology, passive-aggressive behavior is a method of dealing with frustration.

Frustration leads to downfall and deviation, because it wastes precious thinking ability and attention, which otherwise would have been used elsewhere in constructive and/or creative work.
