Feeling: Thwarted
Your body may lurch forward while something blocks progress, leaving lingering agitation. This feeling may come when effort meets resistance. It may have evolved to motivate persistence or creative problem-solving until the goal is met.
Poem reflection
"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?"
- Langston Hughes
