I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.
When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.
Sometimes when you've had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you've already had.
I choose to live without hope to protect myself from disappointment. It's very effective!
I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.
If I disappoint someone, it's their loss for putting that expectation on me when they don't know me. I can't control what they want.
I never felt I was incapable of succeeding because I felt confident I could always learn what I needed to know.
I maintain that I never expect anything, therefore I'm always pleasantly surprised.
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
