Hello! I'll give you a hug.
I'm glad you asked for help. I hope my sharing helps.
I admire you for recognizing when your expectations are not met and for seeking help.
Life is uncertain. Change is constant.
When we accept that change is the norm, we can deal with the unexpected with a calm mind. The unexpected and regrets are not just for us, but can happen to anyone.
This makes us lower our expectations of ourselves, especially when we have high expectations. We can try to face life as our true selves.
When we have reasonable expectations, we experience less frustration, loss, and regret.
We have so many regrets, disappointments, and losses because we care too much about the outcome. We define ourselves based on success or failure. What do you think?
This shows that what we do may not be what we really love. It is not a choice or decision made of our own free will. It is more what is expected and the pressure exerted. We do it more to gain recognition.
If we focus on results, we can't fully enjoy the process. We lose pleasure and joy from what we do. When we encounter difficulties, we give up easily. This makes us feel worse.
To change this state, we must understand ourselves. Then we can know what we can do and why.

Life is full of uncertainties, and when things don't go as planned, it's important to allow yourself to feel the disappointment. But don't stay there for too long. Instead, try to learn from the experience and find a way to grow. Reflect on what happened, understand your feelings, and then set new goals that can lead you forward.
Unexpected situations and regrets are part of being human. When faced with these challenges, I find comfort in talking to someone who cares about me. Sharing my thoughts and feelings helps me process them better. It's also helpful to practice selfcompassion and remind myself that it's okay not to have everything figured out all the time.
Disappointment can be tough, but it's also an opportunity for personal development. After expectations fall short, I focus on what I can control and take actionable steps towards improvement. Sometimes, reevaluating my priorities or adjusting my perspective can make a big difference. It's all about finding the silver lining and moving on with a positive mindset.
Regrets and unforeseen events can shake us up, but they don't have to define us. I cope by embracing change and looking for lessons in every situation. Staying flexible and open to new possibilities allows me to adapt more easily. And when I'm feeling down, I engage in activities that bring me joy and help me regain my balance.
