The biggest disappointments in our lives are the results of disappointed expectations. This is especially true in relationships and in communication with other people. If you reduce expectations for something from others, then disappointment will also decrease in proportion. What is needed for this?
1. Stop expecting people to agree with you. If you express your decision or your opinion, it is absolutely not necessary that the person agrees with him. How many people, so many opinions. Therefore, do not expect to agree with you.
2. Stop expecting to be respected more than you respect yourself. And do not expect any mutual feelings from people.
3. Stop expecting others to like you. You don't have to be liked by everyone. Moreover, it is impossible to please everyone. In any society, there will always be those people who will be dissatisfied with something. You have to take it for granted. If someone doesn't like you, just accept it as a fact, there is nothing to be offended and nothing to be upset about.
4. Stop waiting for people to fit into your idea of them. Loving and respecting people means allowing them to be themselves. If you stop expecting people to behave in a certain way, then you can appreciate them more.
5. Stop expecting people to understand what you are thinking. Many people assume, especially for women, that other people can guess what you are thinking. Oftentimes, others don't even know what's going on in your head, so don't expect everyone to understand.
6. Stop waiting for people to change dramatically. If a loved one has a habit that bothers you, you should not expect that it will disappear soon if you tell the person about it. Changing a person is absolutely useless, it is better to leave him alone and take care of yourself.
7. Stop expecting people to be okay at all times. Our life is so arranged: after the fall, there is a rise, after the rise, a fall will surely occur. Take it for granted. You should not expect that people will always be fine, this world is arranged in such a way that everything will not always be in order, but everything can be changed.
As soon as we take all these things for granted and stop expecting something from people, then our life will immediately change for the better.
