In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that a feeling of frustration with another person is the downstream effect of carrying around an image of ourselves as being perfect.

Here's why the negative sense of self is blind: it doesn't want to see the smallest thing that challenges whatever it's become identified with; and yet (it is) unable to look at anything else...Which means it is not just a prisoner of what it resists, but (is its) unconscious keeper, as well.
