I realised something just now

I realised that I always end up hoping for too much from others, because I expect their actions or inactions to align with my own, and since that's basically never going to happen (and part of the reason I believe nobody cares about what I say), I end up disappointed despite not actually expecting much of anything.

That's not to admonish or criticise others; it's an issue I've got with my own way of thinking that I need to change. I want to make others happy and get the best outcomes for everyone, but even if the goals of others align with that their interpretation of such a belief can and often will be wildly different to mine.

I dunno, I guess I hope for too much. No wonder nobody loves me.
