In a very engaging live call today a very interesting question was posed. Which I will get to. I think a lot of our problems can be put down to our expectations of other people. We expect people to act like we do, we expect to be treated with respect. Basically we expect people to treat us the way we would treat them, only to find out our expectations and what is reality are very much at odds. Now the question. "Where does that expectation that we have come from"? I think like most people in this community we were brought up to be people pleasers. Putting everyone else's needs ahead of our own. We were indoctrinated to believe that there's good in everyone if you just look hard enough for it. This naturally led to a belief that everyone else is just like us, and we all want the same things. Newsflash: people aren't like us and most of the time there is no good in people, no matter how hard you look for it. Your decency has been weaponised against you. We don't all want the same thing. Most people just want to have one over on you, and have a hidden agenda to ensure they get a rung further up the ladder than you. Your expectations are a belief that someone else gave you. Maybe it's time you had a look at that belief. Personally I have zero expectations of people. I expect they are going to shit on me. That way I am not disappointed by their actions. They seldom let me down. Hoping a few of you jump in and we get an important discussion going.
