It's an exclamation (like "wow" or "hey") that expresses frustration or a sense of negative surprise.
Example:
A: I had to cancel our trip to the Bahamas.
B: Sheesh - I wish you had told me before I bought this expensive bathing suit!

Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one's "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place - sometimes site of a war - which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.

It is an expression of exasperation, like "jeez." It's most common usage is when someone is frustarated that someone else is taking so long to get a concept. "Sheesh, don't you get it yet?"

It's like a sound you make out of frustration.
I do not remember the word for such sounds but similar would be Whew, Bonk, Bah, and Arrg.

It is a polite way of saying SHUT UP.
