How many times in your life?...

[Jace]

Have you had unfulfilled expectations?

was it hard to accept?

or

did you "get over it"?

 

[Bella]

The "secret" to happiness is low expectations. If you can manage no expectations, even better. If you expect nothing, you'll never be disappointed.

How many times in your life?...​

17

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I can't count how many times, but maybe I'm guilty of expecting more from others than I should.

 

[KSav]

I don't think I can put a number on this, but yeah, I've definitely had to deal with unfulfilled expectations. Some have been quite painful.

It is the bug-windshield syndrome.

 

[Flarbalard]

I didn't know there would be an audit, I haven't kept any of the records.

 

[Don M.]

I have "unfulfilled expectations" every time I buy a lottery ticket.

 

[Pepper]

I've had more unfulfilled than filled, but you know what? I'm still doing better than 90% of the planet.

better make that 80

 

[Mr. Ed]

Unfulfilled expectation? I didn’t expect anything so was never disappointed

When I was 13, I thought by the time I reached 80, I should have been on my 4th term as President, and have a wall full of Oscars, Olympic Gold Medals, and Nobel Prizes. Stuff didn't go exactly as I thought it would. By the time I should have been elected unanimously to the first term as President, I was living alone, disabled, with three cats.
S**t happens.

 

[Marquest]

Can't even count. I've always had unreal, too high expectations until recently. With aging comes no more expectations. Not necessarily a good thing.
