This is spot on, Nour. My wife often gets let down by people because she expects them to act a certain way and have the same values as her. I always say, “Don’t put expectations on people, then you won’t be let down, and get hurt when they don’t show gratitude or take you for granted.”

Everyone is unique and I don’t expect anyone to act the same as me. It doesn’t matter how others act or deal with situations, that isn’t my problem. I can only control what I do and say and that’s fine by me.
