recently, i was just thinking more about the thing about expectations (with the background of some things i've learned about it along the way, either from people or own experience)
when we have expectations of people which we do not convey, it usually results in disappointment.. 'cos the person doesn't fit the kind of mould (be it flexible or not) which we thought the person will fit.
not that we definitely have to meet the expectations of the person.
but i think sometimes it's good to evaluate ourselves when other people seem to have expectations of us, which we don't feel like it's in our position to meet, or when we ourselves know we should be meeting that expectation, but are not meeting them.
to evaluate to see if we've been conveying wrong messages along the way (which lead to this kind of expectation), if there is a need to reconvey certain expectations and talk it out... and also to evaluate to see if we need to grow to meet that expectations (kinda like a parent expecting a teenager to be more independent, but the teenager may still act like a child). sometimes we may not want to meet that expectation probably 'cos it may be a tougher way out than to just fail the expectations that await us.
there may also be times when people break expectations for good reasons (e.g. giving the person who's expecting a chance to grow, restore a more balanced expectation from that person).
i think it's an interesting thing. lol.
