Why Expectations Hurt: A Personal Reflection on Trust and Letdowns

in CLEAN PLANET2 months ago

As humans, we are bound to make connections with other people and that is something we are often required to do in almost every aspect of our lives which is why we often feel a lot dependent on other people due to a lot of factors because of which we cannot let people go that easily and as we have to be saying with people that often brings up a lot of expectations from those people which we feel that they are going to be doing and when something does not go as a plan or some expectation does not work out the way with thought it would it is one of the word moment that we can ever imagine ourselves to be in.

Right from childhood we are dependent on our parents and after that, we grow up and in society, we often meet people and different people play different roles in our life, and from each one of them we have some sort of expectation that depends on the importance in our life but surely there is some sort of expectation that we have from them and that often leads to a lot of things in the end because many times it is not going to happen the way with think it should have happened.

If you ask me personally about what is the moment that I felt the most disappointed by expecting something from someone then there are a lot of answers that I can pick from but one of the things about surely pic is going to be my parents because there are a lot of things which I wanted to do and I also meet clear that they are other things that I want to be getting myself involved in and maybe this is going to be the road map that I would like to follow but there were a lot of fake hopes and aspiration things that word discussed with them but any and nothing about turned out to be the way that I wanted to be.

There was a sense of understanding within me what I thought my parents were not going to be thinking about doing and still I did have hope that after I explained to them what I wanted to be doing and wanted to get myself involved in they might give up on what they want to meet to do rather than what is the thing that I want to be doing and that was something which completely started when the actual time came and that is one of the biggest disappointments that I have a face in my life for sure.

What I feel is that having expectations from your own family and parents are going to be the strongest expectation that you have because it is one of those things which you can't go wrong it is something which you think within yourself as they are the one who has been seeing you right from day 1 and they are acing to be the people who are going to matter the most for us well so naturally the Expectations which we have from our own family is much more in quality in comparison to other people around us which is why it feels like a very big disappointment as well when something goes wrong.

Having Expectations is not a wrong thing to do because it is something that comes naturally to humans which is why we often need to understand the fact that there are going to be certain moments in life when things are not going to go as per plan we thought it might go but at the same time we can't stop ourselves from falling into having those amazing expectations from people will whatever relation we have with them be have some sort of Expectations for sure and we need to be ready for whatever happen rated be the positive one which we wanted to happen or the other ways well and that situation of us been ready can be very helpful for us.

When that happened I felt some sort of betrayal for sure because it was one of the things that I thought going to be happening for certain and once it did not happen I felt a sudden sense of betrayal from the people I thought were the most trustworthy people for me and there is something which I can never actually explain in proper detail or something which I can even imagine of someone feeling as well because it is something which can't be thought much as something that we are thought about going the way which we had in our brain and had the entire picture imprinted in our head and that thing not happening is very heartbreaking.

However as time passes there is still a debate within my mind about whether were they right in making me do what they wanted to do and getting me out of what I wanted to do or if all of this was something that happened to be the wrong thing I still debated that within my mind but after yourself pass since that particular incident this thing surely feels quite bad to me in my heart for sure and that is probably going to last forever and I will still have that kind of material feeling and that amazing amount of disappointment which I had at that particular moment all though it has faded quite a lot but never lost completely

Hello @ freecrypto

I read your post. I stopped by after seeing your post for the first time. I agree with everything you have written in the post. In your entire post, you have paid more attention to one idea and that is hope.

See, after reading your post, I remembered a part of my story. We should not have expectations from anyone because when our hopes are broken, we feel very sad. When a person loses his self-confidence, we should not have expectations from anyone.

This blog of yours touched my heart. Will meet you more.
Thank you.

I learnt it the hard way, hope is surely a trait than can be very painful once the realization hits. Although it was a lesson for me and now I know a bit better.

Glad you liked my post, thanks
