We understand by giving up any act that means the abandonment or termination of something for which one was working, fighting, etc. Giving up means neither more nor less than giving up what had been happening or what was being acted on, always implying a negative position or a certain frustration at such abandonment. The act of giving up something, a process or an idea, a way of acting can occur in many areas of life and with much difference in situations depending on the person, the particular circumstances, etc.
Generally, when we talk about giving up, we are referring to an attitude that implies certain frustration, abandonment, suffering or disappointment. This is so since the action of desisting generally does not occur completely voluntarily (despite the fact that the person may make the decision to desist) but rather as a consequence of the results that are observed in the face of this or that phenomenon. . That is why giving up certain activities or attitudes always means not respecting or fulfilling the interests that one had at the beginning, before starting a project or facing a certain situation.
On the other hand, the idea of giving up also has to do with a supposed recognition that what one wanted to complete or achieve ends up being impossible, very difficult or even not worth it. Giving up can mean some disappointment but at the same time it represents, then, an act of raising awareness about the capacities or abilities that a person can have in different situations. Although perseverance often allows for incredible and unimaginable results, giving up can also act as a way to recognize limitations and try to act on that recognition without overstressing the mind, body, or emotional sensations.
