No expectations... No regrets.

Have you ever stopped to think that the more expectations you put into someone else, the greater is the chance that you would get frustrated with them?
But not the person, because in fact, it's your fault. Every time you put your happiness (or anything else that you consider important) into the hands of another person, you are the one to blame.

Expectations can ruin one's day. I have gone through the process of being in the state of expectations but now I know the value of living without them.

This happens to me a lot. I work at a fast-paced grocery store and everyone should be working together as a team. It's frustrating to me when I'm expecting my coworkers to get their work done and do it right and they don't do it. Then I always end up having to do extra to make up for it. It drives me crazy.

Interesting. I´ll think about that. I think that at least I put some expectations in to a person if I want to become friends of him.

Thankfully I've already made those silly blunders. Now I trust in myself.

That's true. We need to be happy within ourselves without expecting others to make us happy.

In matters that require responsibility to get the job done it would be foolish not to take into consideration the person's qualification but when it comes to emotional affairs, relationships always entail risk. Is happiness even possible without interaction and opening oneself to others?

Yes, you are not wrong...
This is why I always prepare myself 2 plans: A and B. Plan A is for putting my trust/hope in other people and plan B is for preparing for the worst. But it still hurts when I get plan B...
