Do you get disappointed when…?

I had some good news so I told someone close to me. I expected a “Great!”, but got a “That’s nice”. It’s not their fault I was expecting more enthusiasm, but I was let down. Do you get disappointed when you share good news, and the person you tell is less than enthused?

My former manager was like that, very uninterested and really down for most things she could have been up for.

That is so off putting. It must have brought down the entire office.

@AmbiePam Yes and no, she had a couple of favorites, I wasn't in that small number. I was actually glad that I wasn't in that select group. But now all is well as I have a new manager and she is awesome.

I am sorry that happened. I really very seldom share much good news, or bad.

Ugh, yah, I've been through that kind of disappointment. I guess it's especially disappointing for me because I do try to be a cheerleader when I hear good news from others . . . but I don't necessary get the pom-pom sis boom bah for my news.

No, I figure they aren't as interested in my life as I am... and I can't blame them for that. We all have different things we care about and think about.

I think my disappointment lies in WHO I told. But I definitely agree with you.

@AmbiePam As long as it isn't me you're disappointed with, then that's okay... I try not to disappoint anyone I talk with on myLot.

Once i'll tell some good news to my friends,now i choose to enjoy the happiness alone.Some people just let me down,i guess it's better to isolate myself from this depraved world.

I don't have much expectations for most people these days so I don't often get disappointed.

Yeah, I get that. In a way, it does sting a little, but I try not to take it personally. I’ve learned it usually says more about where they’re at than about me or what I shared.

I don't recall, but I know I would feel let down too. Just don't have many people to share news with in life in general anymore.

Yes, it's a let-down when we tell something important and special, and the person we are sharing with doesn't really share our excitement like we thought they would Which is not good in a way--it's important to many to share special things, and if you don't get a good reaction/response, you will probably hesitate to share again, at least with that person. I'm sorry you were let down, Amber. .

Yes it makes me feel less popular and less liked and sort of sad.
