Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 I know that with me the happening of not expecting took place over the years, not only because I didn't want to experience the hurt that went with the disappointment, but because I am just plain worn out from expecting others to do what they claim they will do and don't. Reality is something I have had to face head-on as I am sure many have. It is because of having to make sure there was food, a roof and clothing for me and my five kids that I stopped expecting from others and did for myself what I could. I saw that others would only give me a pat on the back and say, " It'll work out. " So I stopped looking for someone to say, " Here let me help you. " I would still be waiting if I did that. I think the one thing that I will secretly wish for and expect is that someone will say those words to me and mean it, " Here let me help you. " Someone who wants to share the every day burdens of reality. Maybe outwardly I appear to not have any expectations of others, but in the heart, I do. It is like your are afraid to express it outwardly because if you do get disappointed it would hurt worse than if you kept it to yourself.
