I think I hope for too much - I need to learn to lower my expectations. The person who doesn’t care always wins.

they just do not put any importance on winning or losing……so technically they do not always win, they just don’t give a toss.

Good call, Kunaal.
And Jenny, if you’re anything like me, you will never be able to live with lowered expectations. Some of us just have innately high standards.

yeah, once you start lowering your expectations, you will have to keep lowering them….

By ‘winning’, I just mean that they always end up satisfied because they don’t care about the outcome, while the person who does care can feel cheated or hurt because they still think the issue hasn’t been resolved.
You’re right, Killy, even though I sometimes try not to expect much, it doesn’t always work.
True, MM, even the lowest of expectations can sometimes be too much!

Why lower then if you deserve higher ones?

Hope is my motto. I like Hope. Someday it will pan out, if only I was too stubborn to quit hoping. Never settle for less than YOU think you are worth, you are the only one who can really set that bar. Hope whatever or whoever prompted that post gets a little better for you.

You’re right, Lynn
Thanks, Jessica, sometimes I blow things a bit out of proportion, or care a bit much about things that really don’t matter.

I am quite sure it matters a lot or you wouldn’t think to mention it. I just hope that whatever it was gets better. I think its really important to vent even if it seems silly. It’s better than something silly turning into something ugly down the road.

I am a total goober. I took your test but didn’t pay too much attention and answered the questions as if I were answering them for me. Now I need to study your page, get to know you real well and take it again.

Never mind, Jessica, I’m sure you’ll do better next time
And thanks again, things are fine now

Hi Jenny! Great blog from what I’ve read so far! I’ve been on the look out for a new read and then you commented on my page, so…here I am! And so far, I’m intrigued. Gonna have to go back and read more of your past blogs.
Oh, and I’ve felt that way so many times before. I get disappointed for whatever reason and then get upset with myself for even setting myself up for it. Then I tell myself that I won’t let that happen again. Those people are called robots and they don’t have great blogs like you do!

Hey there! Thanks for coming to visit, and for the warm fuzzy things you said
I know exactly what you mean about the disappointment… surely it’s a good thing to want things to turn out well, though, right?

Hi Jenny. We all come across people that we thought cared, loved, etc and to find out that they did not. The way I see it is that we have to go through that so that we can appreciate people more that realy do have all those feelings. I’m sure that you had some horror relationships before M. But now that you have experienced those horror ones you can appreciate M more than ever, hence the marriage. And I am sure it goes the other way with M.
Sometimes we have to see the bad to really appreciate the great in life. If we always had it great we would take it for granted

Hey pooks, how’s things?? I’ve still got that little present for Angel
You are right - while none of us want to experience bad times, they do help us appreciate the good ones.
