Hi to all,

Please could anyone tell me the main difference between frustrated and disappointed??? When I was passing the exam, I was so tangled with these words Emotion: embarrassed

They are somewhat similar. I get frustrated when I'm trying to fix my computer, spend a lot of time at it, and I can't get it to work properly. I also get frustrated when my e-mail is nothing but spam.

So frustrated is more angry, and disappointed is more sad? Right?

I'd say disappointed is more related to negation of hope.
Frustrated is more specific, less general.

I think that's a great way to explain them. If I'm disappointed, I am at least a little sad about it, and if I'm frustrated, I'm at least a little irritated. Good summary, guys!
