Have you ever felt disappointed to a person’s attitude?

In a sense that you trust that person’s attitude that he/she is humble, sensible, and generous or that person has good moral and right conduct but then it turned out that person’s attitude has changed. As much as you thought that he/she can be someone that you can rely on then that person is arrogant, snob, social climber and so on. Sometimes a person changes his/her attitude into something that you don’t even like. So how do you feel for it?

I think that we have all had this let down of an expectation on another person. Especially someone that we have let into our lives and thought of as a friend. It can be a let down for sure. But there are a few things to consider. People are very high complex. There is no real hard and fast guidline to us that just stays one specific way. You have to realize that people have ups and downs in their personal life just as you do. And sometimes things that they go through can alter the way that they look at life and behave to the ones around them. Also when someone gets comfortable with someone else then they sometimes let their guard down and show a more vulnerable self. I often try to see others through the other angle. Now there are those people that just spread negative air all the time and for those people I chose to keep at a distance.

There have been some surprising shifts in the attitude of different people. I think that they just present themselves rather different towards other crowds. Of course, to some extent, you really do expect that. But it does not really make the masks that people do wear in life any more off settling. It is a bit of a disappointing and you wonder who they were putting on a show for, if it was you that you were being false or another person. You never do look at people in the same way again when they do that. It is something that is extremely frustrating but it is something that we all are going to deal with from time to time. There have been people who have been flipped right upside down with their attitudes and really it is just something that really does cause me very much pause mentally. You just never know with some people, who are being true with you and who is being a bit false.

In my experience with different people, lots of people really have "attitude". Me, I learned to control my attitude, but people's bad attitude make me have bad attitude too. The more time we spend together with any person, the more we see their real personality. The lesson for me is to be careful in choosing the people I get along with if I have the opportunity to choose but if I have no choice, I will just adjust my attitude. Actually, once you start to be disappointed, that is the time the person is just showing her or his true nature. At first, we are quite shy to show it and we quite pretend or show off to be nice but once we are comfortable, we feel more free to be ourselves.

There are just some people who suddenly changes in attitude from good to bad. I would be very disappointed knowing that I expect the person to be like this and like that. I would like to investigate what happens to him/her and why are they acting so others.

People change so we have to be adaptive of their characters.As long as he/ she is not changing for the worst then it's fine with me.If and when that person showed bad things when I am around, I will not interfere with it.There maybe valid reasons why she/ he acted that way.I am a believer that there is no bad people without proper reason.I mean they become bad because there are reasons and there are circumstances that made them act that way.No individual is bad by nature.Having bad attitudes is sometimes a result of the past happenings that can't be changed and that is their reaction to that happening.The best way to do to let them know that they acted strangely is to come up to them and tell them what just they did, in a nice way.That way they will realize that they acted a little too harsh or they over reacted to things.You can tell them that in a nice way.

Sure, one best friend turned out to be a whole different person. I think people like this have their hearts in the right place: they try to do best but for that we must watch ourselves, hold temptations and all and most gets tired. Like Jesus said: many are called but very few are choosen.

I have and do feel this way often. It saddens me particular when I know a person should be focusing on something that will bring them happiness and yet they keep searching in an area that will not. That makes me really sad. That is why it is very important particularly for those who are dating and considering marriage really know what they want. They need to be at a mature age where they are sure of what they want out life and their career. Others a person can change their attitude and way of looking at this and that can cause hardships on the relationship and the family.

Of course I am. My brother is one of them, no matter what I did for him he dumped me and deleted me out of his life as I told him I will get married only because he thought it would change our relationship. I don't like people who can't accept and respect me and already shout and cry before anything happend at all. No matter if it's family or friends. His behaviour proved to me that he has no respect for me at all. I don't think a person sometimes changes his/her attitude. I think they are always the same are just able to hide their real personality. How I feel? By now it's fine. I will never force anyone to stay in touch with me, also will never let anyone blackmail or threaten me or give me conditions what to do or not to do otherwise we won't have contact. It's my life, my decision and I do what is good for me. I have way less stress now and that is what counts. I don't need or want people with a negative attitude in my area.

Yes, since I trust some people I experience this. Earlier when I didn't trust anyone, I didn't have this issue. When I get to like someone it's partly because of the attitude she or he has, and when it changes, it's tough to feel as if the person was not the same as before. It can help if we get a chance to talk about it, but it's true that everyone changes, and we ourselves change too.
