Do you think it is right to have these expectations and why?\n\nDo you have expectations of yourself?

i expect things from others when i get to know them. yes.\ni expect that i will be treated fairly and with respect.\ni expect that we will be civilized to each other, ESPECIALLY when we disagree.  i expect tolerance.\ni expect that THEY expect the same things out of me.\n\ni don't however hold anyone to a higher standard than myself.  i try to be "above the fray" and take the high road.  sometimes i miss, and i'm disappointed.  but when some others miss, i give them the benefit of the doubt.  it's almost as if i "expected" it.\n\nto me a compromise indicates that perhaps neither party has things evaluated to their satisfaction.  \n\ni prefer "persuasion" to compromise.

perhaps if you took the time to get them properly excited, you would find out you are wrong.  Unfortunately you sound like a person who is self-centered and on an ego trip, so you will probably never know.

Some people get a lot of joy and peasure in helping others, and it's real admirable, and i gotta love them for it.\n\nBut i am selfish. I am happy doing what I wanna do, i don't wanna follow some moron's vision of happiness, i wanna be me all the time. I dont give two hoots what anyone thinks or wants if it doesnt fall in my view. I can compromise, but i don't often, why should i make myself unhappy?

Dear Asphire,\nTo enquire, then to be happy with the result is a fortunate outcome. I sincerely trust that life allows you to retain this happy outlook.\nKind regards, Rose P.

It is possible that you are not satisfied with wht you are doing.. YOu are not satisfied with your life style. Obviously, you do not have a high esteem.. Are you attempting to compare yourself with others who you think are perfect or near so?

Of course it's not wrong!  Focus on yourself for awhile until you think you're ready to undertake soomething that serious again.

I think those expectations are completely rediculous.  We are brainwashed as children to want that perfect family with the perfect life and I know for me I was having a lot of trouble coping with the fact that I won't have that family the US wants me to have.  I have thankfully moved on and realized the fairytale life for me would be what I want the most... A husbear later in life, a nice career, and the ability to live happy.

Yes. If you KNOW right from wrong and choose to do wrong... What's wrong with you? What kind of person do you respect? Do you respect people like you? Or do you respect people that live a dignified life who do their best to do the right thing?\nIf you feel bad about who you are and how you act then why do you do it?\nGrow up. If you act like trash then you are trash. If you are trash than you will attract others that are trash.\nDo things that make you proud of yourself rather than doing things that make you feel like a bad person. And if your "friends" find your poor actions charming, then you need more respectable friends.\nGo do something good for some one, will you?

Everyone should like himself or herself.\n\nThat doesn't ever mean we can't try to be better, in fact we should always try to find ways to grow spiritually and intellectually.  We can always try to be wiser and more knowledgeable.  We can always try to learn new skills.\n\nBut we should never envy someone we feel has been more successful or who we feel is a better person.\n\nWe should accept ourselves as limited and imperfect beings, but we should also seek to achieve the best we are able to.\n\nI like myself, too.  No reason to feel guilty.  No reason to be angry.  I can find plenty of other people to be angry with, so I made a truce with myself.

I must say, I'm pretty content with life. I don't really want/need anything... Could I save the wish for a bad day, maybe? haha. I don't think I'd wish for anything, honestly. Obstacles, not knowing everything, not being perfect - It just makes life all the more interesting. I'd give my wish to someone who actually needed it. :)

I expect civility and honesty.  One can be honest without being rude.  I also expect them to be respectful of my beliefs and others.  They don't have to agree with them, but just accept that other people's  beliefs may be different from theirs.  Also, I try to treat others like I want to be treated, so I guess I'd expect that as well.

Well, it's not really what I want to accomplish, but how I lived my life. I think, like you, I want to travel, but not too often. I am morre concerned with having a family and taking care of them. I want to fall in love with the perfect guy, get my heart broken. Maybe a few other things, but mainly I want to know that I   lived my life well and took every oppurtunity that came my way. I want to have made a greaat influence on my children and maybe on the rest of the world.

Yes, it is normal.  What you choose to do with those feelings is the real question!!

If you are expecting the unexpected then how can it be unexpected since you have been expecting it...?
