Jai in sign language

Tired Heart
nùeaay jai (v.) เหนื่อยใจ

The feeling is one of being tired and discouraged. The underlying cause is likely to have been a breakdown of communication with another person. Maybe, you have tried on many occasions to express your point of view on a subject and to explain how important your view is, but each time the other person fails to understand you or to act appropriately. Perhaps the feeling might arise when your spouse or lover fails to understand your intention. She or he may have made every effort to understand your point of view, but simply cannot comprehend the true meaning. For example, one person may place a high premium on being punctual but your friend, spouse or lover is chronically late. You explain the importance of being on time. The explanation is listened to but never acted upon.
