Psychologists explain sudden irritability over trifles through the 'window of tolerance'
Life.ru publishes an analysis of the phenomenon where familiar trifles — a question about tea, a notification or a slow website — begin to cause disproportionate irritation. Psychologists link this to a narrowing of the 'window of tolerance' — the range of arousal within which a person can think normally and cope with stress. Among the causes cited are overload, the information flow and lack of sleep, while among the signs are anxiety and bodily reactions.
