Sometime, we have unrealistic expectations of people. We expect that people will treat us differently from other people. They might lie to everyone else, but they will tell us the truth. They cheated on their ex's, but they will be faithful to us. They gossip about other people, but they will keep our secrets. And when they don’t treat us differently, we feel betrayed. We get disappointed. We become angry. We resent and blame them for deceiving us when in reality, it was our fault all along. We should have known that people are consistent with their behavior patterns. And most importantly, we should have known that expectations lead to disappointment. And therefore, we shouldn't have had expectations for anyone in the first place. The higher our expectations of people, the more likely they will disappoint us.
