Four major things you must stop expecting from others

There is a point in life when you would like to expect someone to provide for your needs, especially the emotional ones. That is the mindset most people have, forgetting that not everyone has the same mindset. Some people are genuinely there for their loved ones and expect nothing in return. Some do it because when they are in need, they expect the person to do the same. 

In some instances, as much as you would love someone to be there for you like you were for them, what happens tomorrow is never known. Circumstances change and what you expected them to do was asking too much of them. Below, I have four major things you must stop expecting from others. Kindly read on. 

1. Don’t expect new outcomes from old, repeated behaviors of other people: 

Some people like the way they are and they wouldn’t listen. Nor would they want to change. People such as this would always end up with the same results. Some people try to talk to and advise those who find themselves in such a category, but then later leave them to face their fate. Especially in relationships, never ignore the warning signs and think your partner will change. Some do, but on a scale of 1 to 10, that would be a 4. 

2. Don’t expect people to read your mind. 

It is your job to communicate your feelings, as it is very important in a situation like this. All the fingers are never the same. If someone has wronged you and it is not brought to their knowledge, give yourself peace and tell them. The more you keep it inside of you, they know nothing about it and it hurts only you. Expecting to think that they were aware that they wronged you isn’t the best idea. It is your responsibility to voice it out to them. 

3. Don’t always expect others to like you:

Most of the time, you would want every single human being to like you and not hate you. Unfortunately, that’s not how life is. Some people can hate you for just being you and for no reason at all. It is not your headache to please them and do things that would make them like you, even though you aren’t comfortable with it. Don’t worry, it happens every day as there is nothing new under the sun. 

4. Don’t expect people to make you happy: 

This expectation is very wrong if you can’t make yourself happy. Happiness comes from self-love and appreciation. Otherwise, you would feel nothing but emptiness and depression in your gut. It shouldn’t have to be that way. Find happiness in the little things you do in this life and make the best use of them as much as you can.

 There must be some limitations when it comes to the expectations one has from another. Disappointments are real, and so are heartbreaks. Have fun with your loved ones and make memories with them, but before that, don’t expect too much from anyone.
