Our expectations about the people around us can have a lasting effect on our relationship with them, our perception of them, and even our own health. Expectations are not based on reality. They are expected realities or belief in something you think will happen. The expectations of others stop us from reaching our potential. You know what the six things you shouldn't expect from other people anymore?
1. Don't expect others to provide closure
Although closing a relationship brings liberation for both parties, it is difficult to put everything behind. A relationship that ends without a clear closure can be really detrimental to emotional health.
2. Don't expect others to apologize
We must learn to accept forgiveness that we have never received. Sometimes we are expecting a 'forgive me' from them. If you want to get to the point where you are ready to start a new relationship, forget about the mistakes you made and fix the lesson you learned.
3. Don't think that others want an explanation for everything
Having feelings and expressing yourself shows no weakness. But telling how you feel about something that someone has suddenly done to you is normal. It takes work to explain yourself to others, especially when it comes to feelings.
4. Don't expect approval from others
We try hard to be liked by others by doing what they want to see in us. When you seek the approval of others, you are living by their values. But know that there is no need to clarify anyone anyway.
5. Don't expect others to trust you
There is freedom that derives from other people's expectations. Lifting the pressure off our shoulders gives us the opportunity to truly live.
6. Don't expect anyone to understand you
Express what you have in the best way possible. Be clear. Did you try to explain it to him / her or did you just wait for the person to understand the situation for themselves? If you were clear, you were done with your part.
