Expectations are very common and crucial at every stage of life - they often give meaning to the life and to be honest, life would be pointless without expectations. Be it personal front or professional, we set expectations and work towards them to accomplish one thing or the other. Expectations, however, are of different kinds such as usual, autogenetic, informed, instinctive, sensible and unrealistic. Many times, we get disappointed when our expectations don t get fulfilled and that disappointment ofttimes leads us to major conflicts.
If defined, expectations are something that we wish to happen. Results of our own imagination, expectations are based on our based on our feelings, previous experiences and desires. Experiences are mere references to earlier expectations – if a person has met our experiences in the past, we are very likely to expect more from him/her again. The important thing one must understand here is that expectations are only our desires and are not supposed to be automatically met just because we wish for them.
When a certain individual doesn t meet our expectations, we get upset and feel that we have been left in the lurch, subsequently, tend to draw away from him/her and stop trusting that person. If we look back at life, we will find that our families, friends, colleagues, spouse or even children have not always met our expectations. We might have felt betrayed at the time, but didn t stop loving them or trusting them, however, we went on to set more expectations, though totally different this time around of which, some were met and someone disappointed us again.
