For some reason, we have this high expectations with people close to us. Maybe our most common denominator of expecting too much from them is that they can afford to deliver some things especially during the time of our dire need.
When we expect, we normally consider certain scenarios along with the players who have the capabilities to deliver. The moment we are able to determine the rightful composition, the only thing that is left is to ask or negotiate. If ever it is not too much to ask, it is also very easy that our expectation will be a success. But in cases where delicate matters are involved, it is expected that only a few would respond to our request.
There are times that we expect too much from someone because we know that that person will never abandon us, no matter what the odds are. We know that because of our ties, that person will never let us down. It's not because we are asking the person to return the favor but we are expecting that he is in the proper position to assist us. But even with the strong ties, at times, the very person whom we can trust our lives will be the first one to let us down.
Though we will be hurt in the process when our pleadings will be turned down, it would be an honest gesture on the person's end if he thinks he cannot deliver what is expected from him. Rather than giving us false hopes, an honest acceptance of his shortcomings may help us to explore other avenues rather than relying on him all along. And because of too much expectations, we do get hurt and bleed sometimes.
