8 Things to Stop Expecting from Others

Sometimes, we’re pressured to know all the things from others. That’s when it all makes sense. So, if you’re feeling like you’re being pressured, walk away. You don’t have to know things just for the sake of it. You don’t have to try to live on Mars.

 

We’re glad you’re able to read this because there are also some people that should not know everything about us. At least, not exactly everything.

 

Here are 8 Things to Stop Expecting from Others.

 

1. You’ll Never See Anyone Who Doesn’t Think You’re Interesting

 

A person who just wants to compliment you and will come right up to you with all these questions, like, “Can I ask you about your dress and haircut?” you can really assume that they will probably be a guy or a girl. It could be that they are overall nice, but their attraction and interest in others could be the underlying reason why. They see something along the lines of “You’re perfect for me,” and they’re asking you about it because of that.

 

2. You’ll Never Hear Any Answers Except the Ones You Asked

 

Don’t make anyone tell you anything, because it’s not that they don’t want to be useful. It’s just that they don’t want to tell you anything. Besides, their non-verbal facial gesture in your direction will be because they want to show you how they feel about you.

 

3. Do I Need Your Hand to walk?

 

Hey, remember when we told you not to take your hand at the beach? Well, now, you will no longer be asking for your hand. That’s because you won’t be making it work now.

 

4. Wait, Could I Ask How Old You Are?

 

Yeah, you know you probably told us it’s not polite to give people your age? Well, it’s not your age that’s the question, it’s what your age will be when they’re asking that question. When the other person will actually ask that question, you’ll realize they probably don’t want you the hand or hold the hand or any physical touch.

 

5. "They Would Still Enjoy the Serenity of Delayed Grief"

 

I can imagine that. There are enough endings to go around. They’ll probably not be sad when someone dies but their grief just stops. Maybe you’ll get a hundred answers about it but it won’t hold their interest if you really force it.

 

6. Have You Seen Me on TV?

 

Let me tell you a secret. Have you? Yeah, you saw the promotions or the ads for me? Could that possibly mean that people are expecting that I’m on TV? Give me 10 minutes to relax before the next second of your high, high expectations. Maybe the fictional characters want to be like you?

 

7. You Didn’t Remember Who I Was Before My Photo Was Posted

 

An interview should also be carefully recorded and processed. Unless you actually told me you saw my last day on TV, as in, there were no scenes or interview portions to be processed. At first glance, people seem pretty nice. Plus, they just want to hear about our life and have their picture taken. However, if the other person didn’t tell you who I was before you posted my photo, they will most likely feel slightly uncomfortable if you approach them.

 

8. You’re Not My Friend

 

Usually, someone wants you to be friends and be friendly because they want to get to know their friend better, they want you to have fun together, they want to see their friend doing good, they want to hear of good things about them. Well, when you’re doing well, they will just probably say that you’re a great person and you’re more than just a job or a place they can work at.

 

Conclusion:

The pressure to know everything can be a lot for some people. If you’re feeling the stress of having to stay up-to-date with all that is happening in order to have something intelligent or interesting to say, then it may be time to take a break from social media and get back into your routine. 

You don’t need to live on Mars just because everyone else does! Take care of yourself first before worrying about what other people are doing, and focus more on making sure you feel good again. Who knows? Maybe by taking this step today, you will find out tomorrow that the world didn't end after all (and we actually want it to).
