Disappointments Are A Part Of Life.
I’m not the best or perfect person but I can be a friend whom someone can trust. Also, I’ve been kind to people so many times and I think that’s why some people take an advantage of that by dissapointing me.
A time when I was disappointed
I used to have a friend in my University days. Saying this doesn’t mean that I’m from a well to do home but to an extent, my parents take care of me well because I’m from a family that’s financially better than hers.
When coming back from holidays, my mum gives me foodstuffs and I always make sure to share with my friend. That wasn’t just it, I accommodated her when she had nowhere to live even though this caused issue between my roommate and I.
At the same time, I helped her search for a job when she needed one. I wasn’t expecting anything back from her but all I wanted was for her to be a loyal friend.
Unfortunately, I got disappointed by her when we went out to her male friend’s place and left me in his place hoping that she comes back. I felt bad and it was obvious that she has a negative plan for me.
Why did she leave me in a man’s house? For him to do something bad to me? I was disappointed because I’ve been a loyal friend to her but she isn’t that to me.
One thing to learn about disappointment
No matter how you try to please some people, they will surely disappoint you. Never try to expect anything from anyone because people can be so quick to disappoint you.
Disappointments may turn out to be blessings so anytime we are disappointed, we should try to think about the good that can come out of it. At least, I no longer face the stress of having to share my foodstuffs with her.
Well, this doesn’t mean that I’m the best person on earth. I may be a disappointment to some people because I can’t be good in the story of everybody.
Disappointments are part of life so when we face it, we have to move on.
Your story is a powerful reminder that kindness doesn’t always guarantee loyalty in return. It’s painful when those we go out of our way for betray our trust.
People may eventually not treat us the way we treat them
That’s sad
It's so admirable that despite being hurt, you don’t let it change your kind nature. That shows strength. Not everyone will appreciate or reciprocate our efforts, but staying true to who we are is what truly matters.
You’re right
The things people do doesn’t have to make us change
Exactly. Happiness/Disappointment are complementary pairs. We should embrace both of the to develop a sense of equanimity.
Exactly. When expectations are not met, Disappointment triggers. Disappointment is a part of the existential nature, let's accept it, embrace it.
Yeah sometimes too much trust on someone use to lead to disappointment
It’s really sad and painful
