What has been the biggest disappointment you’ve had in life?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t want to sound sad, I am not sad, but mine has been love.

I always imagined love could overcome anything, time, distance, any obstacles. Seems like I was brainwashed by romantic movies and books.

“I always imagined love could overcome anything, time, distance, any obstacles.”


I still believe this.


And if you know in your heart that you’re capable of loving someone like that, then it exists already, in your heart.


It’s then a matter of finding someone else, who also has it in their heart to love like that.


Then, together, the both of you can bring that love to life — manifesting what was in the heart of both of you into the real world.


Saying that pure love does not exist is like saying that pure gold does not exist.


But it does.


It’s just that the purer the gold is, the harder it is to find.


And the more impure the gold is, the easier it is to find.

In terms of disappointment…

Probably humanity. 😅

I used to believe that there was more good in the world and that people in general were innately good.

But, as I’ve grown older I’ve seen just how self-serving and indifferent most people are.

Altruism is not the norm, but a rarity.

What’s the norm is people always weighing costs and benefits, what’s in it for them, how does this or that improve their life.

And then there are people who are always after power and control and leverage.

There are power games one must learn how to play and navigate if they don’t want to be taken advantage of.

So, the world is not completely like Game of Thrones — but it’s sort of close to it, in a lot of ways.

The world still has beauty — but at the same time, there’s a dog-eat-dog world to navigate through.

I consider myself a nice person. I go out of my way for people who treat me well and I'm loyal to those people because it takes me a long time to trust anyone. So I thought I had this type of relationship with a few co-workers, but I found out just how deeply they had tried to betray that trust and how willing to throw me under the bus to save themselves, they were. These were people who smiled in my face as they were busy stabbing me in the back. When I found all this out it almost felt like I had to then keep going to work and seeing an abuser everyday. It was such an utter and total disappointment that quite honestly shook a bit of my faith in humanity and led me back down that road of not being able to trust anyone anymore without feeling like, okay, when is this going to all fall apart, who's going to hurt me now.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Sorry about that.

[DizzyDesii]

I really thought I would have had a lot of kids in my 20s. I thought I would start between 21-24 and have anywhere between 2 to 12 before I hit 30. I’m not 30 yet but i’ll be lucky to have one at this rate

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Girl… I feel you. I always dreamed of having 4 children… I am 26 and single…

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I even thought I would have 4 biological children and I’d adopt one.

But will turn 27 soon and have no children nor a partner to have children with 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

If i didn't have morals, i wouldve just had sex with randoms to collect my babies like pokemon 🤣 Its always dudes offering to knock you up but those same ones dont want to be tied down by any girl. Smh

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i want at least 1 biological at this rate. I’d happily adopt a 2nd. And i’m with someone but his schooling/work is top priority rn so i know im not getting a kid out of him anytime soon and that makes it hard for me to wanna stick around

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I was watching videos of babies 5 minutes ago and was so jealous 😭😅

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Wish you good luck and hope you’ll make your dream cone true.

[DizzyDesii]

I was happily helping an ex crush take care of his kid but fck she's so bad that I dont even wanna assist anymore 😂 I’ll love my own children of course but he can't even handle his own child

My weakness... My weakness that Every Woman deserves to be Loved, deserves to be paid attention, deserves Everything that's best in life from a man/partner... and when the Doubts, the "looser game", the Lies, the Cheating (spiritually) start coming to light... then i realised that "feeling" that we name it "LOVE" is not what it seems... Actually is a Heart with lots of Poisonus Spikes around it, and if you "cut yourself" in to one, then you might start "seeing" the real "poisonus love", that got you Blind sighted in the first place... and all you left is... pitty, sorrow, dissapointment, hatred, rage, jealousy, mainly because You gave Everything and you got 💩 thrown in your face instead...🤷‍♂️😑

[scooogy]

My ex-crush told me half of her whole life it seems, but when she told me she wanted to have kids some day and I shouldn't just stay at home unemployed. I was going to find a job, but as soon as I found one she complained to her friend close enough for me to hear it "I can't make him ask me out on a date" and I told myself "keep focussing on your job" (I was still in trial phase at that time) and just two weeks before trial phase ending, she let me know that she suddenly was dating someone. Left me behind broken, not only because after on the one hand she quit with him eight weeks later, a few months later on the other hand she once again let me know that she had a new boyfriend, and added that I was just some random guy to her.

[Constatine]

a { in my case my first love and fiancée} loved one is brutal ripped out your live with the knowledge she was having your baby... Her hole family blamed me for her death while I was in the hospital extreme critical.. and leave you all alone.. With your grieve

that was the biggest disappoint in the.. Because we where like one solid family. Never spoke with / to them ever again.

I was in Air Force ROTC when I was in college. I wanted to be a pilot and maybe eventually an astronaut. After freshman year I got dropped from the program because i could not pass the eye test. It really derailed the rest of my life.

[Anemone978]

Friends and love.. I realized young you can't trust or depend on anyone but yourself..

[Lliam]

By far, mine was separating from Petra. You already know the details.

[Nikki1989]

The attitudes of some people disappoint me more than anything else.

[OfMiceandMen]

When I bought my first Big Mac at McDonalds.

[DryGermanGuy]

Getting some Falling Down vibes right here. :-D

[OfMiceandMen]

@DryGermanGuy Pretty much.👍

[rtj1211]

Being born into a family that really didn't like my true nature and set out to bring me down to their level.

[Guido]

At the time it was getting a divorce. Felt like a failure but in the end I was better off because if it. So suffice to say, my biggest disappointment turned into something great. Everything happens for a reason.

[justabuddy]

Same... a few jobs turned out to be disappointing as well.

[DextroShade]

Feminism killed love for most people.

[swati404]

The Biggest Dissapoointment is me

[msc545]

Women...

[dynamicyandere]

Lol, have you gotten red-pilled? 💊

I’m not an advocate of red pill philosophy in its entirety, but I can agree that women are capable of evil.

I just… Extend that to humanity and not make that a women-thing, haha.

I believe there’s still good in the world — and that there still are both virtuous men and women.

But, there’s a lot of self-inflicted bad in the world that’s caused by humanity in general.

People can be amazing but people can also suck.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

How so?

They talked and breathed too much?
