Do you expect something from others?

Thats the best way to be never expect things from other people. Because you will be let down.

i've always reminded myself not to expect things from others because if your expectations weren't met, the disappointment is great in the end. and i had just forgotten this reminder and now, i'm experiencing the biggest disappointment of my life. on the other hand, this is kinda conflicting because i do believe in the golden rule "do not do unto others what you don't want them to do unto you". this is also some kind of expecting from others since if we translate this, you don't do bad things to other people and you expect them not to do bad things to you too. there's a conflict right? i don't expect anything from people but i expect them to be nice to me because i'm nice to them. ^__^;; oh well, as long as i'm nice to other people, i guess there's nothing for me to worry about. i guess the combination of the two would be much better, be nice to people and never expect them for anything.

Yeah me 2, i dont expect anything. As you, i really never got anything favourable from any1, so im not in the habit of it too, well, but whenever i expected, it alwayz failed me, so no expectations....

I cant say that....that i dont expect anything from this world...but still i may i dont expect much....and really idont want much.....whatever which is with me right now was in my destiny...and whatever there will be in future will also be ma destiny....thats it...

In life I expected lot things from lot of people and mostly I was disappointed. But still I expect something from people which I trust most. I know this kind of habit can lead to disappointment but thats the way I want to be. Its beacause of expectations that relationships continues.

some time but now i have leave expecting from others because expecting can heart you seriously you may dis heart if the other person could not fulfill your desire

not at all, in my life i don't expect anyone always help me. if i can do it myself then why i should wait till someone helping me out? i prefer to give anything that i am able to give rather than receiving or expect anothers giving a help to me

Hi subha, I disagree with what you said that you have the habit not to expect. Everyone expect something from someone and that is human nature.Yes some times we fail to get expected thing from expected people and then we make a decision not to expect from them. But then that also wont work. After some time you will again start expecting from that same person. So I think any human beings expect from those who are very close to us. You said that u don't expect anything, but you just be cool and think over and then come to conclusion.

i have lots of expectations in my life which doesnt necessarily means that it will come from others...its only on myself i guess...and some expectations that i had think of or wish for comes true without the help of anyone except myself and hard work and common sense...well i did expect something when i get married..that is my husband should be a loving and good father to our children and a good husband as well..

i am not the type of person who expect of return or something to others to the good deed/thing i've done to them.

I never expect anything from anyone, this way, I am never disappointed.. If I do a good deed for someone, I need nothing in return, for I believe in karma and paying it forward.

ME too.I don't desire to get sth from others.Everything we should rely on ourself,or it couldn't get over the difficulty forever.But,I'll accept some help from my good friend.They could give me great support in my minds at least.

"Happiness equals reality minus expectations." I don't expect squat from anyone.

I don' expect anything from other people. I am so surprised when something from someone is extended that I try to appreciate it as a special gift. Especially when someone extends their time. What a special gift that is. Your personal time is irreplaceable, personal and can't be replaced or borrowed once its gone. I take time to thank someone for opening a door, giving me room to walk in a crowded grocery aisle, offering a seat, or holding a bus for me.

I don't expect anyone to help me. I never get it anyway unless I beg for it most times and then I am not pleased with the result because most usually it does not come from the persons heart. They only do it because they think they have to. I don't expect anything from the world other than respect and acknowledgement and I can't even get that. I have gotten used to fending for myself also because I cannot count on anyone but me. It is a cold lonesome world though because I have always been there for others because I cared and knew how I would feel if I needed something from someone and could get some help or lend a hand.

if I give or offer help, I don't expect to get back anything from it. I just give. With expecting from others, I rarely don't do that. Sometimes, I do expect my friends to be around me if I feel alone or what. But that's it. We can however, expect anything and everything from God and J E S U S! For sure, that's the one thing that I will never get to be disappointed at.For God's promise is true! I am not being religious here ok..heheh! Peace to everyone! :)

I help others. Others help me. It is the scratch the back situation. It isn't expected exactly. Just works out that way. And it is nice to have people to count on. Makes them as family. Hopefully this will happen for you.

Ever since I was in junior high school, I realised that I couldn't count on someone but myself. I always couldn't find someone to help when I need somebody there. Thus I don't have the habit of expecting things from others. I think I'd better depend on myself.

i never expect something from someone. i love to gain that place by doing self work. in further i will never expect for any type of things.

i dont, realy i dont, i realy dont like to be at the receiving end of the help, i dont know, even if i am abosulutely sure they dont have other motives, it makes me feel so little, i dont want to owe anyone anything, if i have something to spare, time money whatever i tend to help people i know that realy needs it and i dont expect anything in return, but when its their turn to be the giver, i dont know i just cant accept it, pride i guess, i dont know its a hindrance sometimes, but i still want to keep it
