Is it actually better for your happiness to keep expectations low?

[Anonymous]

This could relate to anything really , if your expectations are minimal then you are far less likely to be hurt , disappointed , saddened , angry , this could relate to relationships , business , sport , training , results etc etc..

no... I don't "expect" anything from life or people

I make things happen... and I make people happy

I don't expect reciprocation either... but way way way more often than not, it all comes back and more

I think that's a very good attitude , a little karma related , a pleasant surprise.

This is how I live my life in this world lol 💟😆

And I didn't want to credit @lilBigPotato yet her answers weeks ago took the words from my mouth, yet I apply it to almost all contexts that

That I have low expectations, without frowns or blank faced, and I always try to keep on "smiling" 🫤😝 as they say 😋😋😋🤭

🎵🎶 the whole world smiles with you 🎵 there's also a Seinfeld episode like that. Yet if you always smile, literally - 😅 it's asking for unwanted attention or a scary 😯 lol 😆 so I keep it on the vibe versus smiling 24/7

People with shitty attitudes will end up with a shitty life. If that is what you are aiming for, go for it.

Winners will continue to win, and the losers will continue to whine about every little thing while living in the gutter.

I'm not personally aiming for anything , I'm asking a question that's all , it does not apply to how I have lived or intend to , just see some others who expect far too much and when they don't make it , they become seriously depressed and even suicidal.

It’s better for your mental health but what you expected is what would you get.

[Asker]

You may however outperform those expectations.
