What does it mean to feel hopeless? how do you think hopelessness affects people’s lives?

I think that hopeless is the feeling of believing you have no other options left or that you can’t be helped in certain situations. It effects our lives and how we can interpret the things around us. When you feel hopeless you are less motivated to do a lot of things such had learning how to play an instrument, another language, maybe your homework that you’ve been struggling to do.
