Frustrated with someone
More info
When we’re frustrated, it’s often tough to communicate our feelings or for others to understand them.
Try using a simple statement that states your feeling around the current situation and try to connect them to a need you have at the moment, not to the actions of the others.
Example: I feel sad, because I need connection with you and you are scrolling on your phone right now.
