Hey everyone , what do you believe expecting or accepting things ? does expectation is one thing we all get hurt from? Is it wrong to expect from who are our close friends and family?
EXPECTATION- a strong belief or feeling that something will happen, expectation in friendships and relationship is normal which shows how the other person cares for us , it is good until it makes you happy .There is nothing wrong in expecting, its a natural tendency to pin our hopes for happiness on fulfilled expectation. Problem arises when we expect something to happen without good reasons or when expect too much which leads to human frustration or disappointment .
I had expectations too from my friends but sooner i realized all of my expectations were not fulfilling and i cannot control them to make them do what i want ,which was leading to hurt me and i accepted this fact so that it doesn't bother me but also there are some people whom i still expect because they made me happy fulfilling the expectations.
But we need to see where to stop having expectations because we often want things so badly that we ruin it before it begins, overthinking, fantasizing, imagining, expecting, doubting. Its bizarre that we are chaotic and don't know how can one not expect things but let me tell you we can always use an alternative, that is to find acceptance which you only can allow yourself. We overreckon and expecting something to happen will not make it happen, it will lead to disappointment ,sometimes even a deep seeded feeling of sadness overcomes us from that emotional disconnection .The disconnection of how you expected a person to behave or for how things were supposed to have played out.
when those unfulfilled expectations involve the failure of the other people to behave the way you expect them to the disappointment also involves resentment.
ACCPECTANCE plays important role to save you from disappointments, If you are thinking why acceptance ? well we have no control on other people but ourselves . We cannot control they way they react or respond to us or the things happen in relationship but we can accept the things how they are!
If we just accept things how they are and when things will happen unknowingly it will give you more happiness rather expecting it therefore when we accept that people are different , life becomes a lot easier and less stressful .Expect more from yourself and less from others .
