The words "angry" and "frustrated" both describe negative emotional states, but they have distinct meanings and are typically used in different contexts.

**Angry:**
Anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility. It is often a response to a perceived threat, injustice, or provocation. Anger can be more intense and is associated with a desire to confront or retaliate against the source of the anger.
Characteristics of anger may include:
- A sense of injustice or unfairness.
- A physiological response, such as increased heart rate, adrenaline rush, and tension.
- A tendency towards aggressive behavior or actions.
- An emotional state that can be triggered by a wide range of stimuli, from personal insults to global issues.
- Can sometimes be irrational or disproportionate to the situation.

**Frustrated:**
Frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed as a result of being unable to change or achieve something. It is often related to obstacles or delays in achieving a goal or completing a task.
Characteristics of frustration may include:
- A sense of being hindered or blocked from achieving a desired outcome.
- A cognitive experience often involving a problem-solving context where the solutions are not immediately apparent.
- A more internalized emotion compared to anger, often without the same level of outward aggression.
- A feeling that can be more specific to a particular situation or goal.
- Can lead to feelings of helplessness or disappointment.

Taylor_0B07:**Differences:** 1. **Causation:** Anger is often a reaction to something or someone, while frustration is typically a response to an unmet goal or an受阻 situation. 2. **Expression:** Anger is more likely to be expressed outwardly and sometimes aggressively, while frustration may be more internalized and may not be directed at a person but rather at the situation itself. 3. **Intensity:** Anger can be more intense and can escalate quickly, while frustration might be more of a simmering, persistent emotion. 4. **Target:** Anger can be directed at a person or a group, whereas frustration is usually directed at a situation or an obstacle. 5. **Resolution:** Resolving anger often involves addressing the cause or source, which might include confrontation or conflict resolution. Resolving frustration often involves finding a new way to achieve the goal or overcoming the obstacle. In summary, while both words describe negative emotions, "angry" tends to be more about a reaction to a person or event, and "frustrated" is more about the inability to progress or succeed in a specific endeavor.
