If individuals are frustrated in achieving their aims, the most likely response is aggression. Such individuals are motivated to be aggressive towards whoever or whatever is standing in their way. While frustration often leads to feelings of aggression.
Symptoms include:
Physical Reactions:
- Dry mouth
- Sweating
- Rapid heartbeat
- Rapid breathing
- ‘Butterflies’ in the stomach
- Muscle tension
- Shaking
- Legs feel weak and shaky
- Clenched fists, teeth and jaw
Emotional Reactions:
- Frustration/feeling powerless
- Anger
- Impatience
- Restlessness
- Hostility
- Depression and/or anxiety
- Feeling upset and/or starting to cry
If you are prone to violence and your team losing is a possible catalyst for an ‘event’ then recognising this trigger for anger as early as possible and expressing these feelings and frustrations in a cool, calm and collected way is vital.
Let those close to you know if you feel the anger rising and then find a place to go and quietly calm down.
