Adjusting My Expectations

Hello great friends, happy weekend to you all.

Some months and years back, I tend to think so highly of people, in fact naturally, at some point and somehow we do have expectations and these are purely natural part of human relationships. As humans we would always expect people to check up on us, we most times expect people to treat us nicely just as we treat them.

Even our parents too, they have high expectations on their children, all parents wants their children to be successful and respected people in the society. All these and lots more are expectations humans have and when it does not turn out that way we feel greatly disappointed

Personally, in many occasions I try as much as possible to keep to what I say and to do them. Because of these I had always expect everyone else to at least keep to what they say and do them. One of the things I hate most, is the feeling of disappointment, I hate it so much whenever people say things to raise my hope and thereafter leave me stranded and that feeling is so frustrating.

I have been disappointed a lot of times, people make promises that they cannot fulfil, people assure you of things and most times they make you wait with hope and joy that it will happen only at the end you would hear “I am sorry” that is only if they are even kind enough to say that.

So I have faced lots of disappointment and with my experiences so far I have learnt my lessons. Now I give rooms for disappointment, I always have plan B even when someone assure me of helping out or doing something. I keep reminding myself that anything can always happen and people will always fail.

Now, I limit my expectations from people, I keep reminding myself that nobody owes me anything and with this mindset I’m good. So if people choose to keep to what they say or fail I don’t feel greatly disappointed because they do not owe me anything.

So that’s how I have leant not to feel disappointed whenever it happens.

Thank you all for reading through. Happy weekend once more.

I agree with you Sis. there are people who likes giving false hopes and it's frustrating and disappointing so better not to expect too much for things that are too good to be true so I won't hurt that much

Honestly, that feeling can be so frustrating, that is why I have learnt to expect less from people. Thank you for stopping by😍
