Dr. Noah St John explains that feeling stuck means you're actively working toward something, not that you've failed. The word frustration comes from Latin frustrare, meaning to be in error, suggesting your current approach needs adjusting, not that you should quit.
So that's the point. You're— but the whole point about stuckness is that you're working, right? Most people, when they feel stuck, it's like there's something stopping you, right? There's a thing and you're going, just like pressing on the gas and you're in the mud. You're not moving. So you're trying to get there. That's what the word frustrated actually means. The word frustration comes from the Latin word frustrare, which means to be in error. So there's an error with what you're doing. That's what the feeling of frustration means. Does that make sense?
