I have often heard that it is better to have low expectations so that if it is as you expected, it is not a surprise, but if it is higher than expected, it makes it even better.
I think it is wise to not let one's expectations get too high.
Reminds me if one Christmas where he tried to pull the whole car keys as Christmas present, toy car out front GaG on me. But it only has the chance to be funny in a family where the child could actually imagine something genuinely nice being done for them.
I would consider it bad if it makes one feel nothing as if they hollow. If that aids to accumulation of them emotions that would be worse as it makes one a volcano, which when bursts gets them all them things out and it gets tough at those times.
Yes because u expect to much from others unless u are told to expect something like a date to show up then cancels at the last minute because of missed information. That's also a sign that they don't pay attention to detail that is important for the date or wanting a date
@Burtonfan At the moment, I'm being kicked out of my house by my evil, greedy bitch ex-sisters via an eviction notice from the sheriff! Fun times!! This is gonna be one HAPPY Christmas for me!!
Ouch. What kind of bitch throws someone out this time of year- and around the holidays? Happy holidays indeed. I hope things get better for you eventually
Well at least your life is consist... consistently bad.
@Burtonfan Chip in? I'm paying the whole thing! ALL of the bills are paid ME. I didn't do anything, mom did, she died! Those greedy bitches stole her old Will and well over $131,000 that I was supposed to get to take care of the house and have been claiming ever since that her LAST Will is no good!! They've been trying to get me out of the house for 3 years so they can sell it and get MORE money they don't deserve!! The house has been in my family since 1936 and I've lived here my entire life and mom & I were intent on keeping it in the family!! But, unless someone can loan me the money to buy the place ASAP, I have to get out of here by the 18th!!! So far, everyone that WANTS to help, can't, and everyone that CAN, WON'T!!!
The evil, greedy kind!!! Thank you but, unless I can get help buying the house, I'm screwed and have to get out by the 18th!! My singer once wrote a song called, "Magnet Of Bad Luck". I'm at least 90% sure he wrote that about me!!
@Burtonfan My sisters are in their early 50's and are STILL children!! Spoiled rotten, greedy bitch children!!! Whatever they want, they get, whatever I want, they get!!
100% yes Get unused from it! Dream something up and make it happen (by excluding whoever in your life uses you as a victim - usually a brother or a sister that need to feel better by making you a cynical loser)
Yes it is bad but it is not unusual to get to that point. It means that you are in the wrong spot, looking for the wrong type of people to date, have the wrong type of friends, let family do things they shouldn't, etc.
I think it's only bad if you close yourself off to new experiences because of the past. As we get older we tend to so this. It's understandable, but fight it.
I'm not used to being disappointed. I'm used to completely being screwed over, to have life stick it so far up your ass you can feel it in your throat... I so fucking hate my life right now.
Speaking from personal experience, I think it is very bad. If you're used to being disappointed you can't enjoy the little good things that happen everyday because your mind automatically locks onto the bad things.
Well obviously it is you should never get used to being disappointed in yourself or other people the next step after that is depression and nobody wants depression except 12yo emo kids

Nah just teaches you not to really rely on anyone but yourself.

Disappointment comes from expectations not being met.
Relinquish your expectations when possible. Just enjoy the ride.
Disappointment is part of life but it's not about the fall it's how you get up that defines you

My life has never failed to disappoint me, yet!! And it just keeps getting worse and worse every year!!
Well at least you have the consistency to look forward to. Yeah fucking eternal optimist here. Even when everything sucks.

Well you dont have to chip in for the electric bill.
Why what did she say you did. You must have done something

That's rough. Thank God I was an only child and didn't have to deal with that shit. I hated it growing up but No shit show when they passed.
@Burtonfan My sisters are in their early 50's and are STILL children!! Spoiled rotten, greedy bitch children!!! Whatever they want, they get, whatever I want, they get!!
I've seen it. It's sad. Be a better person than those you see. Dont be like them.
@Burtonfan I've ALWAYS been a better person! Those bitches couldn't hold a candle to me!!!
100% yes

I've been used to it for a long time. I'm actually pretty surprised when something good happens for me in life.
Same here man!

Ehh, its bad, sure. It just shows that you've been let down a lot like I have.
I try to look at dissapointnent as a learning experience.
Yes and unfortunately people dont even realize how disappointed they are bbn or should be
Determine what your expectations are, which one were priority and if they realistic/unrealistic.
My psychologist told me you don't need anyone else to be happy
Do things by yourself and be happy and satisfied with it
Well obviously it is you should never get used to being disappointed in yourself or other people the next step after that is depression and nobody wants depression except 12yo emo kids
