Have you ever planned something which didn't happen?

it will happen for everyone friend .we will plan but atlast minute some of our friends will ask some excuse and plan will get cancelled. as u started this discussion i remember one incident.during our college days we went to industrial visit and it got over soon so we all planned to go to beach at first all accepted,totally ten of us planned to go but seven of them asked some excuse,remaining three were not ready to drop the plan and we three went and enjoyed :)

i have met this thing could not happen,i feel that i am frustated at it.because i have planed it for a long time now,but sometimes it could not happen as what i expect,maybe i could not work hard enough or this is the time i would gain it,but whaterever i could not change this,so i hope that i plan new schedule and try my best for it,i believe i can gain good result finally.

don't worry life has many other options available to keep it interesting.thats what i tell myself when such a thing happens.for me its a regular thing. my family ,my friends are experts in cancelling up a pre planned event and taking up a new. many a times i felt bad when i would have been real active in the planning.but gradually it effects me no longer for i feel what is important is the life itself and the people around and not some planned event.so cheer up and get ready for the new year...hope you have a good time.

Yes definitely!!!! this is not unusual to me. I have planned a lot of things in the past which never materialized. SOmetimes it's because I wasnt able to convince people to accompany me or something came up and there is nothing more to do but to postpone or scrap the idea. what's worse is whenever something does not happen because of my own forgetfulness or my laziness. :(

Me yes I have planned things before and something sometimes comes up. One year I was set to go to Florida during the spring break and the people I was supposed to go with could not go for personal reasons. This happens to me not very often but it's life. You just have to deal with it and like they say get back up and brush yourself off. Try planning another date and if there excuses still keep you from getting together I would try finding new friends.

Hi pentagan, i was very sad when me and my friends planned to go out yesterday but some reason we not go out they feel not embarrassed but i am very frustrate and feel it sad because my boyfriend meet with me there but planned was cancelled it was the first meeting we go out from home.

Yes, there are lots of time that things planned ahead of time did not happen on the expected date. Like when my friends and I planned to watch New Moon. We planned to watch this movie one year before the first day of showing so naturally we are all very excited as days passed, but when the day arrived that we will gonna watch it, none of them expressed interest anymore to watch it. I was very frustrated that I did not talk to them for one week. I was very disappointed with their unreasonable behavior.Eventually I pushed with it, but I watch the said movie in a theater with different company.

Many times in my life I have been frustrated by things that I planned and didn´t happen. Now it almost never occurs because I don´t expect so much. It´s very difficult to do extra things during holidays that belong in part to the family. My way of dealing with frustration is to yell for a couple of minutes. Fortunatly I live alone. Then I can reson with myself and calm down. A good things is to think as soon as posible of something else that is interesting to do. Take care!

there are lots of lessons to be learned from planning too much,the more plans u make the stronger your desire becomes for it to go well,when it doesn't work u c what happens,thats lesson number one,don't plan too much or too hard,u r not totally in charge of your destiny or i should say we are not totally in charge if where life will really take us even tomorrow,but make plans but don't expect too much,if its the willing of our destiny that we should be at a place at acertain moment in our lives then it will go according to plan if not then it won't work that way time,

you wud hv heard a quote MAN PROPOSES GOD DISPOSES really i would praise the person who told this. it has been true for me in many cases. But the most disppointing plan drop is we planned to go to a vacation for a week. At that time my mom's office declared a strike for salary hike. my mom must be present for that and she is not supposed to go on leave. so the plan was dropped and the tickets were cancelled. to my annoyance, the strike was called off. what can i do? i used to put plans for my studies, but i could not follow anything.

Many many times. Sure it's disappointing/sad/frustrating but things happen. Its life. Sometimes things are planned in months or even years in advance and is stopped because of 1 small thing. It sucks but its life. In life unexpected things happen. Thats why we think of back up plans in case things like that happen. Trust me. I know how you feel. I learned that the hard way. One time I was a trip to drama camp that I have been planning and excited for weeks. My friend said he will go with me. AS the time came closer and it was the day before the camp, my friend said he couldn't go because he was scared and just didn't tell me a good reason and never did. I was so disappointed because I wanted to go so badly but I wanted to go with my friend. I was stuck between choosing whether or not I should go myself or just cancel it. In my situation , I was so disappointed I didn't know what to think so I just decided to not go. Of course I regretted it. But its life. Yea I know...life isn't fair sometimes. I know how you feel.

many times in my life, just recently i had made plans for a vacation in my hometown, but my husband can't take his vacation leave, so i have to wait for another year to have this vacation:( sad, sad ,sad!.. this is always happen to us people here on earth!hu hu.

hey my friend, its a normal incident. Its not to be worried about. All what we planned don't occur as it is my friend. We have to go with it rather than worrying my friend.

Planning some thing as a group and later it being postponed or canceled is quite common.It happened many times for me. Once my travel plan to go to my parents is postponed for some reasons. We have to face it and plan for the next time.

When I plan something or think of something to do, (such as going to an event here in town) I keep in the back of my mind it may not happen and not to count on it happening. This way I don't set myself up for disappoitment. and it doesn't hurt me as much if plans fall through. Life is a series of unexpected events, so you have to keep that in the back of your mind when planning for anything. "Always expect the unexpected." Its an old saying I know, and it sure helps when life throws me that curve ball. So perhaps this will help you as well.

it does happen to me a lot of times and it's really irritating sometimes especially if you were in charge of the planning and then you will be informed that they're not gonna make it. That's why nowadays, if we want to go out, or spend some time with my friends or with my family, we make it a spontaneous activity, no plans, just meet ups and who ever will show up, that will be good enough, that way there's no expectations and less frustrations.
