Why do I ever get my hopes up? Nothing ever goes my way. Please don’t be mean. I am just...

somthing that works for me and might work for you that i learnd way back at the end of my drinking days.try this it may help.dont worrey about tomorow as it may never get here think about today what went right what went wrong and its allready hapend so nothing you can do about it and continue on with life.good things hapen to both good and bad people so just take life a day at a time and you will get through the day in a beter state of mind and what is behind you is no longer ahead of you.good luck

I always hope for the best but expect the worst. That way I’m not so disappointed. I’ve also learned only I am the person who can truly make me happy

I'm wondering the same. I'm always hopeful tomorrow some pleasant surprise will happen, but it very rarely does, and when it does it doesn't last. And yet I'm keep hoping.

Keep pushing through! The stoics teach us that sometimes the only way to deal with obstacles is to go straight through them. Let your positivity shine bright and dampen out the shadows, you got this!! Big hugs to you!!

Well, maybe some hopes were based on misconceptions. Not everything will go wrong though. Sometimes we get tired and everything just seems too much, make sure you give yourself some time to rest. Then go about doing things with a clearer mind.

This quoted advice below was mistakingly sent to me by @tactical360 when it was intended for you, Justbekind24.

for what it's worth, here's a little something I picked up I my Applied Psychology class in the fall of '86 :

"Act the way you want to feel, and pretty soon you'll feel the way you act."

Hope this helps.

Feel the same way lately. Might as well laugh about it. This is how I can relate to it.

Sounds like you and I have something in common.

I don't mean to sound contradictory to your post "Why do I ever get my hopes up? Nothing ever goes my way", but there is something exceedingly important that you have to understand and that is, everything actually DOES go our way!

What I mean is, things don't happen TO us, things happen BY us.

Whatever we have going on in our life, WE brought it to ourselves, be it good stuff or really bad stuff. It's called The Law of Attraction. Our world becomes what we think.
