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?

There have been some times yes. I think people feel some envy so there is that,

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

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.

@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.

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.

It is definitely a let down when I expect more enthusiasm from someone.

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.

If they do not react then I would say "Say something"

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.

It is such a letdown when that happens, as you expected the other person to share equally in your excitement.

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.

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. .
