to drive crazy

معنی

Making someone very angry.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Russian culture, 'самообладание' (self-possession) is highly respected, but so is 'искренность' (sincerity). Using this phrase is a way to be sincere about your lack of self-possession in a moment of stress. Ancient Slavs believed the soul could literally leave the body during moments of intense emotion or sleep. 'Выводить из себя' echoes this ancient belief that anger 'displaces' the soul. In fast-paced cities like Moscow, this phrase is frequently used to describe 'road rage' or frustration with bureaucracy, reflecting the high-stress environment. Dostoevsky often used the state of being 'out of oneself' to describe characters at their psychological breaking point, often leading to a 'скандал' (scandal/scene).

🎯

Use with 'просто'

Adding 'просто' (just) before the phrase makes it sound much more natural and native: 'Это просто выводит меня из себя!'

⚠️

The 'Себя' Trap

Never translate 'myself' or 'yourself' literally here. It is always 'себя', regardless of the person.

No, 'выводить из себя' is strictly for negative emotions like anger and irritation. For positive 'out of self' experiences, you might use 'быть вне себя от радости' (to be beside oneself with joy).

It's not 'rude' in terms of being a bad word, but it is very direct. It clearly states that you are angry, which can be confrontational.

'Бесить' is more informal and slangy. 'Выводить из себя' is more descriptive and can be used in a wider range of situations.

No, that is a common mistake. The word 'себя' is a fixed part of the idiom and never changes.

You would use the reflexive: 'Я выхожу из себя.'

Yes, 'вывести из себя'. Use it for a single event: 'Его слова вывели меня из себя.'

It's a bit too emotional for a formal email. Better to use 'Это вызывает определённые трудности' (This causes certain difficulties) or 'Это меня беспокоит' (This concerns me).

It refers to the person who is angry (the object of the sentence).

There isn't a direct idiomatic opposite, but you could say 'успокаивать' (to calm down) or 'приводить в себя' (to bring someone back to their senses).

Yes! 'Этот шум (subject) выводит меня из себя.'
