Have you ever wondered why some people do not do things the way we expect them to do, well me too.
Often times I have been disappointed by people who act in ways that i don't expect them to. Notice the word expect. As funny as it may sound we are creatures of expectation such that in our interactions we often expect but we do not tell that someone what they should do.
We magically assume that someone is going to do what we expect but we don't tell them what we expect. How then do you expect someone to do something the way you expect it when you have not told them what you expect from them.
We often get disappointed because of the results of our expectations we do not realize that our expectations are not communicated. We then complain and cause ruckus, you can't blame someone for not thinking like you!
The point to note is that we don't have the same expectations, beliefs and views. We even react differently to situations, we are taught by different people as we grow up. We pick up manners as we go so even if we are raised by the same person our minds are not similar. Our rationality doesn't come the same place, so next time we just simply accept that the next person is different and we don't think alike.
And the next time you want someone to do what you expect simply tell them.
Selfishness either intentional or unintentional is difficult to avoid. People always think about themselves first
