Low Frustration Tolerance is when a person believes that pain, difficulty, discomfort, or frustration is unbearable, and must be avoided at all cost. A person with Low Frustration Tolerance has a mindset that his situation is too difficult, too much, and he "can't stand it." A Low Frustration Tolerance is brought about by an exaggerated or distorted view of reality where one believes that a situation is much worse than it is, and a grossly underestimated belief of one's own ability to put up with a situation. This mindset may prove to be self-defeating in the long run.
